> Instead of What would be the fun of that? Anyway, it's not like people would even care unless you poke holes in their ideas first. > What, in your view, are the real reasons behind Russia's actions Fulfilling its role in Minsk agreements that it is legally bound to, duh. Spiced by assuming no good faith or credibility from its former western partners, who at this point even publicly confessed that they were lying about these agreements in the first place. > and what is your evidence that those are the real reasons These kind of questions kind of stagger me, because they are like "what's your evidence that the sky is blue and Earth is round". I guess largely because it is a simple, yet very concrete and grounded cause-effect that doesn't require inventing an alternate reality or a new prognosis each time a new datapoint presents itself. It is definitely more realistic than fantasizing about "Russian tanks in Budapest" or explaining every specific bit of reality with vaguest, maximalist and most intangible crap.
