Ukraine 2022-2025. The war that should never have been

Back in 2022 when the war started in Ukraine, I sat at a table with some people who were obviously Zelensky fan-boys and -girls. Putin was the obvious aggressor and poor Zelensky the hero defending his country after the US offered him a helicopter ride out and he refused.

There was so much ignorance, stupidity and memory-loss at the table that day that I didn’t know where to start.

This one tree-hugging cow asked me what I thought.

I was surprised; they usually don’t bother with other people’s opinions.

Nevertheless, I told her that Zelensky basically had two choices; capitulate now, keep his country intact and save millions of lives…or capitulate once his country is destroyed and millions of people are dead. She gasped and almost choked on her tofu salad. How could I suggest that he should simply give up and hand over his country? She was almost in tears.

Look, I don’t like Putin. He suffers from little-man-syndrome and poisons his critics, but I am not so narrow-minded that I believe he was the sole “aggressor” here.

When you scratch the bear’s balls with a thorny twig, don’t complain when he klap’s you.

I followed the situation around the Ukraine for a LONG time. I didn’t pretend nothing was going on in Eastern Ukraine years before Putin finally invaded.

Just Google American bases around the world and see how they slowly surrounded the Russian “Heartland” that Halford Mackinder spoke of. Whosoever controls this Heartland controls the world.

We further know that since the collapse of the USSR in 1990, NATO and the EU expanded East, ever closer to Russia, after the deal was NOT to expand East. These are facts. Since German reunification 16 new countries joined NATO. Expansion of NATO

Now you can say what you want about Putin, but he is not stupid, and he could see what was happening. In 2007 in his speech in Munich, he called the West out. They pretended that he was simply crazy…a conspiracy theorist talking about a “Unipolar World Order”.

Nobody in the West had the intention to build military bases close to Russia from where missiles could strike Moscow in seconds.

Nevertheless, Putin went ahead, and he started to modernize, retrain and re-equip the Russian military.

In 2014, the president of Ukraine, Yanukovich, refused to sign a trade deal with the EU and decided to rather remain pro-Russia. The CIA instigated the “Revolution of Dignity”, AKA the Maidan Revolution. The Eastern Part of Ukraine was ethnically Russian, and they started a counter revolution that was pro-Russian. Russia invaded the Crimea, to protect their interests. Crimea was historically Russian and they have a massive Navy base there. Cut a long story short, ultra-corrupt Petro Poroshenko (the chocolate guy mentioned in the Panama Papers) became the new Ukrainian President from 2014-2019.

In 2014 the Crimea and Eastern Ukraine held referendums and chose to become Russian. For that they would be severely punished by neo-Nazi para-military (read terrorist) groups such as AZOV and the “Banderites”. Again the chorus of libtarded naysayers, tree-huggers and ignant liars bellowed that AZOV was not (really) neo-Nutzi. It was all just “Russian propaganda” and disinformation. Well you can go read up on who Stepan Bandera was and how AZAOV was founded.

Fact is, these criminal, corrupt low-lifers went into Eastern Ukraine, raped, robbed and pillaged rural civilians, and burned down their farms to punish and intimidate them for wanting to break away from Ukraine. 3600 Civilians were killed at their hands.

Putin's white truck convoys

The Donbassians cried to Putin for help. Putin sent in a convoy of 280 white, KamAz trucks, with some 2,000 tonnes of humanitarian supplies including 400 tonnes of cereal, 100 tonnes of sugar, 62 tonnes of baby food, 54 tonnes of medical equipment and medication, 12,000 sleeping bags, and 69 portable power generators.

At first Zelensky and the US wanted to prevent the trucks from entering, citing that they might contain weapons. What if they did? Would the AZOV neo-Nutzi’s prefer the Donbassians to not resist and rather die quietly like rural white farmers in South Africa?

Nevertheless, starting in August 2014 until 2018 Russia sent more than 80 such convoys into Donbass. Some estimates are over 100 convoys between 2014-2021. I saw it on BBC, SKY, Al Jazeera, CNN and every other news agency regularly. Yet when the war broke out in 2022, nobody could recall seeing the white trucks? How was that possible? I saw them almost every night on TV.

AZOV - The not neo-Nazi, neo-Nazi brigade

Yet, suddenly nobody could recall the murderous terrorist campaign of AZOV against the ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine that raged for EIGHT YEARS!!! How?

The mind boggles. It is as if libtards sometimes have screening eyes and selective memories. In their minds, Putin was an evil aggressor who simply walked over the border and was going to invade and take over the whole of Europe. He had to be stopped, no matter what it took. So, in typical libtard fashion, they started throwing money at the problem, hoping it would go away.

I was just shaking my head in disbelief at a useless war that could have and should have been prevented. They thought Putin was just bluffing. I mean, these idiots brought us to the brink of nuclear war, convinced that they could win!

I knew from the start exactly how the war would end. Virtually in a stalemate. It is what happens when people who are closely related and speak the same language fight. They don’t like to kill each other face to face. They would rather use remote tactics such as drones, artillery and missiles. When they fight each other for too long, they learn each other’s tactics and eventually it just becomes a meat grinder where officers poor lives away.

Fortunately now President Trump and President Putin are talking. Zelensky, the cocaine addicted sexual deviate and thief is jumping up and down like a petulant toddler. His country in ruins, millions dead and he will have to capitulate.
