TIL the CIA organized the Chechen rebellion. Funny how they allegedly did that while bailing out russia and Yeltsin while he was fighting the war, and they never recognized Chechen independence when the rebellion succeeded in 1996. Weird.
Grozny was bombarded because the CIA organized a rebellion. Georgia was invaded when Giorgia sent its troops to seize contested territories, Russia Push back to the Tbilissi and withdrew by itself.
Crimea was annexed after the coup in kiev, which installed a regime pro-NATO and posing a threat on the Naval base.
In the 3 cases it was in reaction to an event in which the USA were involved.
Russia asked to join NATO. This way Peace was guaranteed. USA refused.
Russia is under attack in a covert war since the fall of USSR. What happened in 2022 is the covert war became an overt proxy war.
That is the situation.
And europeans nations are accomplices of the CIA/US maneuvers.
They got 2 chances to solve the conflict, Minsk I and II. They were guarantors. They closed their eyes on what was happening there, they even trained the ukro army. So no, Russia has no lesson to receive from anyone.
We are the agressors.
