Just putting this into a thread so I don’t have to retype it every time someone asks the question, What justification did Putin have to invade Ukraine.
Remember the Cuba missile crisis? JFK was ready to start a nuclear war over Russia putting missiles in Cuba.
If Ukraine was a member of NATO, it 100% would be used as a missile base. And a bulwark with which to attack Russia’s heart, a mere 150 miles away. Imagine if Cuba was 150 miles by road away from DC (instead of 1200 miles away). Do you think JFK would have allowed Russia to install missiles in Charleston SC?
Yeah, probably not.
However the stated reasons were:
1) To protect the Russian speaking civilians in the Donbass from the daily artillery shelling since 2014.
2) To re-establish water supply to Crimea. Like the gutless worms they are, Ukraine had put a dam across the natural stream that was bringing water to Crimea.
3) Russia quite understandably hates NAZIs. NAZIs killed tens of millions of Russians in WWII. Ukraine had established a Bandara worshipping NAZI leadership. Putin hates NAZIs and seeks to deNAZIfy Ukraine.
4) Ukraine had undergone a massive military build up since the West toppled the elected leader and installed Zelensky.
The military needed to be reduced in capability.
5) Ukraine must agree never to join NATO, for the reasons I explained above.
In 2022, a tape surfaced of Angela Merkel saying the Minsk agreement was only agreed to in order to give Ukraine time to become stronger. If this would not infuriate you in Putin’s position, then you have no pulse.
6) Since the war has begun, something like 8-12 bioweapons labs have been discovered. They posed a clear threat to Russia, at least until they could be inspected and determined otherwise. Russia has taken loads of evidence to the UN and begged for an investigation. The UN ignored them.
7) Since the war has begun, children’s organ harvesting operations have been discovered in Ukraine. You have to be against that no matter what side you take unless you are a genuine monster.
8) conduct during the war:
8.1 Ukraine has been torturing civilians, and of course POWs. Routinely, as in all the time.
8.2 Ukraine is shown on video walking along and shooting prisoners in the legs as they lay on the ground blindfolded and defenseless.
Orders to castrate all prisoners.
8.3 Ukraine has been taking cheap shots at civilian regions of Russia. (They bombed the Moscow mall for example).
And they attacked the Crimean bridge which Russia took great
pains not to use to move military equipment across.
8.4 Ukraine continued to shell the civilians in the Donbass until Russia drove them back out of artillery range. This took over a year as I recall.
And Ukraine launched many many attacks on the nuclear power plant at Zap… Trying to crack it open and spew radiation far and wide, creating another Chernobyl.
8.5 Ukraine dispensed many thousands of plastic “butterfly mines, or “Green Parrot Mines” throughout Donbass civilian towns. Blowing up women and children’s legs must bring them great pleasure.
8.6 the use of FPV drones is now a fact of modern battle. But it has always been an unwritten rule that you don’t shoot a soldier when he is taking a dump. Well, Ukraine didn’t follow that rule at all. There is something completely soulless about chasing a guy with his pants around his ankles with a drone operated by a coward 20 miles away. War is disgusting enough without going the extra mile.
