 nostr:npub106n0pzzm6jk9mfh3xvlhh53qn7kjz8ja4f8h8r3n6ap706wvtahqltvfwa Russia is also lying. Their bela causi is neither Nazis nor preventing genocide, but rather to secure Crimea and keep NATO out of their sphere. Good reasons yet illegal. Russia was not invited into Ukraine by its government. This contravenes the UN Charter Russia agreed to uphold by an Act of their parliament. It is irrelevant that the USA does this all the time. Neither 'side' is innocent nor right.
The difference is that Rus lies respect our intelligence and Ukraine is hard to like.
