They are freeing Russian-Ukrainians in Ukraine.
Those have been suffering for 12 years.

Ukraine had a coup and the new leader decided to oppress the Russian-Ukrainians.
Zelensky presented himself as a peace candidate opposing the warmongering corrupt government,
but did the opposite once in power.

Large parts of Russia have been given to Ukraine in the past during the Soviet times,
ironically to prevent invasion of both Russia and Ukraine from Western powers.
Russia wants those areas back and those areas want Russia back.
The Russian-Ukrainians in Donetsk and Lugansk Oblasts
tried doing an independence referendum before the war,
but were shot and killed at the polling station.

@folaht @Shatur

These sound like Russian propaganda talking points. The simple matter of the fact is that Russia invaded Ukraine wayyy before 4 years ago. They are simply trying to put the USSR back together and you Ukraine isn’t having it.

Ukraine is a US puppet regime, has been since the US-backed coup in 2014, invading and overthrowing them is doing the world a favor

You realise the Donbas has been getting shelled by western Ukraine since 2014 right? That the people of the Donbas are majority ethnic Russians? That those people have been asking for Russia to help them for years?

Whatever about the "real" motives etc etc this war is liberatory for the people of the Donbas, that liberation being a side effect of the war to avoid NATO missiles on the Russian border doesn't change the material outcome.

With that type of poor argumentation I can defeat all your arguments with one full swoop.
Anything you say are now Usonian propaganda talking points.
