Please be honest with yourself, do you really think they invaded for no good reason and murdering civilians like there's no tomorrow. Do you really think that is the case? Why would anyone do that? Please be rational, we need to be rational now.
- andybak 5y agoOK but history shows us many occasions when countries have done both these things - so it's not exactly stretching one's credulity. I think GP's ever so slightly overstated things. There is a reason (albeit one that is unjustifiable) and "slaughtering civilians" isn't currently the main activity (which is not to say the current civilian death toll isn't awful). However - Putin's actions are almost completely indefensible on both moral and long-term strategic grounds.
- synergyS 5y agoAbsolutely we need to resolve things differently in 21st century. World where ordinary people would not be treated like a cattle essentially by any government sounds like utopia. Maybe Mars :D
- concerned_user 5y agoIn 2012 new gas deposits were discovered in Ukraine. On the coast in Crimea territorial waters, in Donbass and in Carpathian mountains next to Transnistria. Tension spots popped up suspiciously near those deposits in recent years, could be a coincidence of course. Developing those deposits would make Ukraine more independent from Russia.
