Okay! First things first: This is MY political OPINION. We will all stay respectful to eachother, yes?? Second thing, my knowledge is credible, but a bit spotty (and I don't feel like writing a whole report lol). Important stuff is in caps :)
I'm not in favor of war in general- innocent lives on both sides are lost, and that makes me very sad. I pray for those people. But this is why I'm kinda with Russia:
Background
1.) Back when the Soviet Union fell, Russia gave everyone back their land. That's why you see Lithuainia and Ukraine on the map these days! Now, when Russia was giving back land, one of the men in charge gave Ukraine A PIECE OF RUSSIAN LAND. THAT LAND HAS BEEN RUSSIA'S SINCE ITS BIRTH.
2.) There were a few rules that came with that land, however (they were fair)- their are only a couple main ones I am going cover.
a.) THE RUSSIANS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE THE START GET TO STAY AND LIVE THEIR LIVES.
b.) RUSSIA STILL GET'S ACCESS TO RUSSIA'S NAVAL/MILITARY BASE THERE.
Seems fair, right? These are very basic, btw.
Modern Issues
1.) Since the late 90's, the native Russians that had been living there HAVE BEEN BEATEN TO DEATH, SLAUGHTERED, HAD THEIR ANIMALS KILLED AND LEFT ON THEIR DOORSTEPS, SHOT IN THE HEAD WHILE REACHING FOR HELP IN A BURNING RUSSIAN BUILDING (LIT ON FIRE BY THE UNHAPPY UKRAINIANS), HAD THEIR CHILDREN MURDERED ON PLAYGROUNDS, AND HAD THEIR HOUSES BURNED AND BLOWN UP BY ANGRY UKRAINIANS. I have seen very, very disturbing footage. The Russians were the victims. 1,400 Russians (men, women, and children) have been killed by radical Ukranians since 2014.
a.) Why are they angry? They do not like the Russians being in "Ukraine."
2.) The Ukrainians took over and will not allow the Russians to use their own base, anymore.
3.) Did you see that footage of a "Russian" tank running over a car? It was proven to be a Ukrainian tank (how do they know? Russians made it so that you can tell which tank/military veichle is their's by painting a large white "Z" on several sides of the veichle). However, it was a Russian who stole the tank (I'm confused as to why). But you were never seen the whole footage- it was an accident, I think. The way he was driving, he was running. From what? Idk. But after he ran over the car, he pulled into a parking lot. Gunshots began going of, at him, and he hid on the side of the tank. I watched him get shot to death. It was very graphic :(
4.) Russia hasn't launched any missles, actually. They were Ukrainian. Personally, I think Ukraine is staging most of this. Ukraine has said they have killed many upon many Russian soldiers- Russia has said they have only lost a few Russian troops. I watched a Ukrainian video of a "dead Russian," and quite cleary see that his leg lifts. The camera quickly moves away right after that. It was quite difficult to catch.
5.) Ukraine stops every Ukrainian male between the ages of 17 and 64 at the border, and refuses to let them leave. They then armed civillians with military weapons, in which THEY ARE NOT TRAINED TO USE. Now, the Russians can't tell who is Russian and who is Ukrainian, and even if they aren't armed, as they are all dressed like normal people.
I have several, several more reasons.
But, like I said, I pray for the lives on both sides.
Maybe I'll make a part two??
God Bless :)
