I've stayed away from politics for years,the only place I know that won't 100% lie to me is voat so I want to know, what did the kikes do this time with the whole Russian Ukraine thing?
The ukraine was a former SSR in the soviet union. When the soviet union broke up they declared independence. Unfortunately a lot of military and civil infrastructure was located in the Ukraine, so the Russians did a deal with them:
"You give us the nukes, we'll decommission them and we swearsy realsies you'll never need them. Also you can keep the crimea but we have to be able to use it as a trading port."
Flash forward to 2014 and the pro-russian regime governing the ukrained was overthrown by a pro-western coup intent on joining the EU. At the time it was called the "orange revolution" but soon afterwards the public became widely aware of the trend known as "colour revolutions" so it has since been renamed the "revolution of dignity."
The EU had already been pressuring Russian trade, so they faced a possibility where three of their very few ports (St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad and Rostov on Don) could be easily cut off by the EU at a moments' notice. Putin said fuck that and annexed the crimea. He also stirred up a proxy war in the part of the Ukraine between crimea and russia (the Donbas) and started angling to absorb it into Russia.
Things kept escalating until eventually Putin just outright invaded. It's hard to tell what exactly is happening, western media says the ukranians are fighting him fiercely with everything they have and grannies are capturing tank regiments etc. but from what I can tell the Russians are going to take the whole country without too much fuss.
So now the question is... is the west actually going to kick off WW3 over it?
