Russia and Ukraine

[The Architect Of Fate]

I threw in Hungary as the nearest EU country....nearest in culture.
Still... no reason for invasion.

By all measures, Ukraine economic performance had been calamitous, even if we were to ignore the natural resources and soviet bequeathed infrastructure.

And why was it like that?

Indeed if a bad economy is a justification for invading nations. Then I guess the G7 nations have the right to invade the whole third and developing worlds.

Let's sum it up 

1. Ukraine has the right to join any organization it wants without fear of military retaliation and if Russia is threatened by this its job is to increase defenses within its own borders. Invading other countries is not a valid response 


2. The presence of fascists within a nation is not a justification for invading other countries and endangering the lives of people who have nothing to do with said fascists


3. Being the same ethnic group is not a justification for invading other countries. It wasn't when Hitler did it and isn't now.


4. Formerly owning a place doesn't give you rights to it. otherwise, every former colonial power could claim any place they use to own.


5. Ukraine's abuses of ethnic Russians are a matter of international law and are not a justification for invading other countries.


6. American wars of aggression do not justify Russian ones
