Lew Rockwell: Russia Invaded to Save Civilians in Donbas Getting Shelled Since Feb. 17

[munkle]

Refreshing historical perspective.

"In 2014 and 2015, when a civil war had pitted Kiev against Donestk and Lugansk, the material and human damage was only a matter of Ukraine’s internal affairs. However, in the course of time, almost the entire Ukrainian population of Donbass considered emigrating and acquired dual Russian citizenship. Therefore, Kiev’s attack on the population of Donbass on February 17 was an attack on Ukrainian-Russian citizens. Moscow came to their rescue, in an emergency, from February 24.

The chronology is indisputable. It was not Moscow that wanted this war, but Kiev, despite the predictable price it would have to pay. President Zelensky deliberately put his people in danger and bears sole responsibility for what they are enduring today....

The propagandists in London and their almost 150 communication agencies around the world assure us that, pushed back by the glorious Ukrainian Resistance, the defeated Russian army has given up its initial goal of taking Kiev. However, never, absolutely never, did President Putin say that Russia would take Kiev, overthrow the elected President Zelensky and occupy his country. On the contrary, he has always said that his war aims were to denazify Ukraine and eliminate foreign (NATO) weapons stockpiles. This is exactly what he is doing."

The conflict in Ukraine was not opened by Russia on February 24, but by Ukraine a week before. The OSCE is a witness to this. This peripheral conflict had been planned by Washington to impose a New World Order from which Russia, then China, were to be excluded. Don’t be fooled! Russia’s military...

Uh huh. Lee Rockwell. So, no credible sources. You Putin salad tossers are somewhere a few miles below the bottom of the barrel.

How can you peddle this bullshit with a straight face?

Nobody forced Putin to invade and it's not a conincidence that he's trying to secure the eastern 1/3 of Ukraine where their richest natural resources are located along with their only access to the seas.

Putin has been behind the violence in Ukraine since he and his paramilitaries started it in 2014.

The Russo-Ukrainian War[21][e] is an ongoing war between Russia (together with pro-Russian separatist forces) and Ukraine.[f] It began in February 2014 following the Ukrainian Revolution of Dignity, and initially focused on the status of Crimea and parts of the Donbas, internationally recognised as part of Ukraine. The first eight years of the conflict included the Russian annexation of Crimea (2014) and the war in Donbas (2014–present) between Ukraine and Russian-backed separatists, as well as naval incidents, cyberwarfare, and political tensions. Following a Russian military build-up on the Russia–Ukraine border from late 2021, the conflict expanded significantly when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022.

Following the Euromaidan protests and a revolution resulting in the removal of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014, pro-Russian unrest erupted in parts of Ukraine. Russian soldiers without insignia took control of strategic positions and infrastructure in the Ukrainian territory of Crimea, and seized the Crimean Parliament. Russia organized a widely criticised referendum, whose outcome was for Crimea to join Russia. It then annexed Crimea. In April 2014, demonstrations by pro-Russian groups in the Donbas region of Ukraine escalated into a war between the Ukrainian military and Russian-backed separatists of the self-declared Donetsk and Luhansk republics.

In August 2014, unmarked Russian military vehicles crossed the border into the Donetsk republic. An undeclared war began between Ukrainian forces on one side, and separatists intermingled with Russian troops on the other, although Russia attempted to hide its involvement. The war settled into a static conflict, with repeated failed attempts at ceasefire. In 2015, the Minsk II agreements were signed by Russia and Ukraine, but a number of disputes prevented them being fully implemented. By 2019, 7% of Ukraine was classified by the Ukrainian government as temporarily occupied territories, while the Russian government had indirectly acknowledged the presence of its troops in Ukraine.

Yep. Agreed.

It is predictable, however, that war party propagandists and trustees in a welfare-warfare state would attack Lew personally rather than debate the actual terms of controversy.

Funny how that happens so often around here, isn't it? Just another day in the neighborhood...

It certainly is funny and dumb. Apparently many Americans don’t want a history lesson to learn about why this war began. They just want to blame it all on Putin, like good little statist toadies.

War criminal Putin is not half the tactician the propaganda makes him out to be. He tried to own the whole place and that didn't work so now he's after the consolation prize. Nothing more complicated than that.

 

[gipper]

In a sane nation Biden calling someone a war criminal, would result in all laughing at him.

More proof we live in a failed state.

Here are some good questions you statist warmongers should be asking but never will.

Hovering above all of these grave dangers is the question of why? What interests does the U.S. have in Ukraine that are sufficiently vital or substantial to justify trifling with risks of this magnitude? Why did the U.S. not do more to try to diplomatically avert this horrific war, instead seemingly opting for the opposite: namely, discouraging Ukrainian President Zelensky from pursuing such talks on the alleged grounds of futility and rewarding Russian aggression, and not even exploring whether a vow of non-NATO-membership for Ukraine would suffice? How does growing U.S. involvement in this war benefit the people of the United States, particularly as they were already — before this war — weighed down by the dual burdens of pandemic-based economic depravations and rapidly escalating inflation?

Well. I happen to know, Lew. I have far, far more confidence in his ability to reason than I have in the desire of the fully indoctrinated to think critically, as the counter-dialogue over the course of the thread will no doubt predictably demonstrate.

So that's probably all I have to say about that.
