They sure are bringing a lot of artillery weapons for “peacekeeping everyday Ukrainians”.

The article makes no outright statements my guy everything is described as an allegation or an implication and not even of genocide but forced labor, something that happens in every industrialized capitalist country out there

You act as if the UN making those accusations doesn’t hold some serious ground. UN reports have been the basis for many serious undertakings by those combined nations.

Don’t worry, I’ll wait for you to find some other biased info dump.

It's not an invasion tho lol and no Western governments are even calling it that

It's a big escalation tho for sure

None of these statements besides the first are any you would hear me saying.

I've said multiple times itt that Ukraine joining NATO would significantly increase the odds of a direct nuclear war between Russia and the West

At this point it's a matter of time before China makes a move in Taiwan

Yeah and instead he mentioned "freedom" and "democracy" 50 times in those first 30 minutes lmfao. Putin doesn't give a f*** about the type of governance of Ukraine, he cares about their political, economic, military and cultural relations with Russia/the West. He couldn't care less about its democratic status and neither does the West.

Also the reason Ukrainian NATO membership would increase the odds of a nuclear war is because there are major territorial disputes between Ukraine and Russia, a nuclear power.

Ukraine has already said they want to "liberate" the Crimea

If Ukraine does that, you think Russia isn't gonna fight back militarily?

If that happens, article 5 applies and boom, the whole of NATO is now at war with Russia.

That's why it really makes no sense to want Ukraine to be a part of NATO, unless you're a fanatic Ukrainian nationalist.

They’ve marched their tanks and troopers over the Ukrainian border without the Ukrainian government’s permission. The literal definition of an invasion.

Several Western governments are referring to it as that. The Biden administration are already making it clear that it’s an invasion of a foreign nation and a huge crime against international law.

The West def cares.

They would absolutely want a NATO nation on the border with Russia. And Russia is showing exactly why they might need it.

They do want NATO expansion yes, but they don't care about the democracy status like that. Turkey is literally in NATO bruh

"Russian troops moving into the Donbas would not in itself be a new step," the US official said. "Russia has had forces in the Donbas region for the past eight years," despite denials from the Kremlin, and "they are apparently now making the decision to do this in a more overt and open way."

.

The senior administration official said the U.S. believes Russia has "plans for an invasion at any moment, most likely in response to attacks Russia falsely claims are occurring in the Donbas," and that such an invasion could go far beyond the separatist-held territories.

They're not calling this an invasion here, you got any links where they call it that?

And did you miss the fascist-backed coup by the US in 2014? Or Hungary devolving into a fascist dictatorship while nobody does anything? Neither side cares about democracy of Eastern European countries, they care about their economic, political and military ties.

And what does that video say about Ukraine joining NATO supposedly not increasing the chances of nuclear war lol?

It's pretty simple, Ukraine has territorial disputes with a major nuclear power. If that eventually turns into a direct military conflict while it's a part of NATO, then we're all at war with Russia.

Key word here: "planning".

They said they were planning that yesterday.

Putin started it today.

NATO or not, everyone should be worried about Russia taking back the former USSR nations and nothing being done about it.

Gay folk alone are in serious danger if the Russians come to their country.

I was asking whether you had any statements of Western officials calling this the "invasion" that they've been warning. Not your own interpretation lol.

Bro, I get the feeling you’d go into full semantics no matter how far this goes.

You act like them fully announcing this and then sending thousands of troops over isn’t anything serious because “oh, they already had troops illegally invading there”.

When is this gonna be a Russian invasion of Ukraine for you?

Yeah because other Eastern European countries are shining examples of LGBT rights lol

Russia hasn't committed any acts of military aggression against countries besides the Ukraine and Georgia, and neither of these were unprovoked

Putin isn't just gonna re-establish the USSR out of nowhere lmao
