    why weren’t people resisting these supposed soldiers moving into the towns the way they’re resisting right now during an actual invasion?

    I already answered this; because, in an attempt to prevent ww3, they decided to retreat and surrender instead of fight. Now they understand that placation has no value.

    Nice mental gymnastics there.

    No one says Russian is “outlawed” in the US, but if you only speak it, and try to get your car registered, you’re going to have a hard time. you’re one doing mental gymnastics to say that’s a justification for war…

    People of Donbas literally chose to fight for their independence, and they’ve been fighting the right wing regime for 8 years.

    That’s literally supported by all the available evidence and basic logic.

    I’ve seen the satellite images of tanks rolling over the border, but you insist they are separatists.
    A civilian airliner was shot down by a BUK, but still you insist it was separatists.
    If Ukraine sends tanks to support the “separatists” in Moscow, would you say that’s not an invasion?

      That’s not an answer. Why were people of Crimea not resisting the way people are resisting right now, or the way people of Donbas resister Ukrainian regime. When people are invaded they fight back. I’m not aware of a single invasion where people just shrug and say I guess we’ve been invaded, oh well. The fact that you keep trying to spin this shows just how dishonest you are.

      Human rights watch must also be doing mental gymnastics. Real galaxy brain logic here bud.

      Oh please do share these images with the rest of the class.
