Bruh, US overthrew a democratically elected government in Ukraine, funded and trained literal fascists there, and is now trying to start WW3, but yeah BoTh SiDeS aRe BaD.

Bruh, US overthrew a democratically elected government in Ukraine
This is funny because you can apply the same logic here with Luhansk and Donetsk but you don’t.
There was substantial opposition to Yanukovych prior to the 2010 election and a pattern of corruption established. Post 2010, Party of Regions literally went after and imprisoned the opposition party leader. From this, you should have at least some skepticism of what that Yanukovych’s represents in this case. It can make for a case that is an attempt to seize complete control of a country and erode its democracy. Mixing this with denying Ukrainian’s people’s support of joining the EU, constant cronyism and corruption and then shooting protesters opposing the government… yeah, ain’t great. Remember, Russia supported this guy, so we can somewhat conclude that Russia benefits from having this guy in place.
Of course, this is going to start leading to people in the country feeling like their government is no longer representing them and protests will likely ensue.
funded and trained literal fascists there
Svoboda and Right Sector? Or are you talking about the current government of Ukraine?
Sure, ironically if you typically invade a country like what Russia did, you are going to spur some serious nationalism and embolden those elements. However, Ukrainian people, as of the most recent election are not necessarily fond of those elements as you can by them practically losing almost all representation in their government.
I’m not going to disagree that the US had trained people who are part of the parties previously mentioned and I am not exactly supportive of this as well. However, Russia sending their own military into another country, also training Ukrainians that are supportive of Russia/Russian ethnostate. No one has clean hands in this conflict, but it’s kinda obvious that Russia is the main aggressor here.

Current government in Ukraine is full of extremists an has even integrated Azov battalion, who are unapologetic nazis, into their regular military.

Stop trying to rewrite history. Russia has never been the main aggressor here, and anybody claiming this is either an utter ignoramus or a liar.
There is nothing really in that article that objects to my argument. So, I don’t know what you are on about. Ironically, by providing this argument, you actually proved my point when you said: [citation needed].
So I guess, have you read the article?
Current government in Ukraine is full of extremists an has even integrated Azov battalion, who are unapologetic nazis, into their regular military.
And you have Russian crusaders that are wanting to return Ukraine back to Russia. Ironically, you could just say that Russia is now a hotbed of white supremacists.
There is at least a case with the most recent election that those elements were on the downfall in Ukraine. However, I doubt you want that information to get in the way of your narrative.
Russian funding has been linked to fascist and nationalist parties in other countries: (National Rally, UK Conservative Party, AfD). Sure, I don’t approve of Azov Battaltion and shit like that needs to be removed. However, there is no moral high ground to be achieved here when you when Russia literally does the same thing and is sponsoring RNU in Donbas (which are Russian Neo-Nazis).

Dude, this screams of an attempt to discredit all information regarding the matter. Sure, headlines like this need to be considered, however, the information regarding the matter is not discredited because “OMG WEST POSTS ABOUT THIS”.
Russia has been the main aggressor now since the past 7 years according to Western fake news
Well lets examine some events here:
Invasion of Crimea
Mock Referendum in Crimea (I’m curious how someone could rationalise those questions)
Sponsoring separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk
Providing military equipment to the separatists
Unmarked soldiers
Downing of MH17
Rocketing Mariupol
Considering the points above, yes… Russia has been an aggressor for this period of time :)
Just going to tell that there are no “boots on the ground” and Crimea’s invasion has a bit different background behind it. It is not like Putin woke up one day and announced “let’s go play boys!” Also, what is this crap about Donetsk and Luhansk having separatists? If they announced their independence after Ukraine cutting off their water supply and all those shenanigans, why does Ukraine have an issue?
“Providing military equipment to the separatists” is done by USA and NATO countries throughout, and we can discuss Azov Battalion in national military as well.
You can also discuss about the UN resolution vote against Nazism 2 months ago, and why USA always votes “NO” in that vote since the past 15 years.
and Crimea’s invasion has a bit different background behind it
Vague and doesn’t help anything… go on.
It is not like Putin woke up one day and announced “let’s go play boys!”
Sure, that’s not what I said but go on making stuff up, you’re good at it :)
Also, what is this crap about Donetsk and Luhansk having separatists?
Well… are they separatists? As in they want their own statehood?
If they announced their independence after Ukraine cutting off their water supply and all those shenanigans, why does Ukraine have an issue?
Well, I can see a nation taking issue when another state actor has decided to take advantage a ethnic minority and push them into some kind of crusade. Hence the RNU
“Providing military equipment to the separatists” is done by USA and NATO countries throughout, and we can discuss Azov Battalion in national military as well.
Yeah, I’m not going to disagree that this has happened but it shows that Russia didn’t want a peaceful solution that happened to have been the crux of a lot of pro-russian arguments here.
And we can talk about the RNU, come on dude, these guys are neo-nazis as well, for some reason you just want to only apply nazism to Ukraine. Donektsk Republic is Russian imperialist with some serious anti-ukrainian and genocidal elements to it.
The one who is bullshitting is not me. Someone attacked Luhansk first, then Russia retaliated. Russia is not the initiator, and has not entered Ukraine territory, according to Ukraine military https://twitter.com/ReutersGMF/status/1496718865560076288
Posting Bellingcat is proof of intentional dishonesty, unless you do not know their history and background.
Crimea invasion having a different backstory is not vague.
Sure, that’s not what I said but go on making stuff up, you’re good at it :)
Not even reading rest of your comment. Uneducated and bad faith engagement.

You could only apply the same logic if you completely ignore reality and history. Here’s what Jacobin, a western publication has to say about the events of 2014, so maybe stop trying to rewrite history here https://jacobinmag.com/2022/02/maidan-protests-neo-nazis-russia-nato-crimea

Ukraine is run by literal Fascists, but yeah ok.
