(They also tried to do the same thing to ethnically Russian areas of Georgia in 2008, but the Russians managed to put that one down.) Once that happened war broke out in the Eastern areas of Ukraine that lead to an unofficial Russian intervention (again, not like the CIA has never done the same thing). During that intervention the Russians shot down MH17. There has been a "ceasefire" for some time now, but they have been basically been at war ever since 2014.

Back to today. Over the weekend the Russian supported rebel forces in Eastern Ukraine said they were going to start fighting again, and I think today Russia officially recognized the breakaway regions. Vlad knows he has the west by the balls because we keep electing leftist politicians who don't understand physics or reality, and go "green" by enriching tyrants (such as Vlad himself) in places that don't exist because the the T.V hasn't told us about them. You are about to start paying for your ESG scores and all that non-sense. TBH, we need something like oil at $150/barrel and the Starbucks groupies to not be able to afford their lattes anymore to wake this country up. This is the only thing that will do it. Too many of us grew up in too much comfort, ignorance, and insulation from reality. Best to get it over with now.
