> This is opinion. Russia doesn't claim this, nor do their actions suggest this is their goal. Invasion is hardly ever about territory expansion. Afghanisatan, Iraq, Libya. Take your pick. They want to overthrow Zelenskyy and the other govt officials and install his own puppet government. He invaded and took over Crimea. There's no other way to read this situation than conquest. > She was in Europe advocating Ukraine join NATO after Russia stated it is unacceptable. How is this not provocation? Kamala Harris is a liability and has a long line of incompetent decision making in her career, whether it's throwing innocent black men in jail as a prosecutor or being highly involved in the Afghanistan catastrophe. This is simply her latest failure in leadership. It's obvious you have a political bias here and are casting undo blame on the administration. Blaming VP Harris for Russia invading Ukraine is straight out of Fox News talking points, which have become an extension of RT and other parroted Russian propaganda. This invasion has been in the works for over a year. Putin has been moving forces to the border for months. It was going to happen regardless of any of the west's posturing. The only thing we could've done is been more proactive about sanctions in attempt to dissuade, but that would've been seen as escalation as well. It's clear that Putin is willing to draw the iron curtain again, and he put himself in a position where he has no good out.
