But you don't respect the people of Donbas from defending themselves from a Kyiv regime that came into power under a coup in 2014 and began attacking them?
You may not realize this right now, but the very people that are destroying The West with their green agendas, LGBTQ nonsense, and economic debacles are also heavily involved in supporting and agitating this Ukraine conflict. They cannot achieve their long term goals with a country like Russia standing in the way. Because as you are seeing now, they are loosing control of their economic monopoly thanks to their sanction schemes. Now there are parallel SWIFT-like systems being rolled out that will empower countries to not be enslaved by their system. These people cannot be allowed to win in Ukraine. And that includes the majority of leaders here at home... they need to be exposed and fail in their Ukraine project, also. The sooner these people are discredited and run out of power, the better the world would be.
Also, it would be wise to have a strong Russia in place to help counter China. China is a bigger concern, IMO, because they have been far to successful in influencing political leaders here and having them implement CCP modeled system in America. These Manchurian Candidates are successfully destroying this country from the inside out.
