A Ukrainian drone struck a civilian bus on the Krasnodar-Melitopol route in Zaporozhye Region, with all 11 people aboard escaping unharmed, officials say
I’m not just looking to history to predict the future, I’m using very recent history to analyze the present. This is basically a question of who I should believe: the source of every problem in the world for the entire time I’ve been alive (the US and its allies) or one of its victims. Maybe that makes me biased, but I’m just never going to believe anything the US says.
And the assumption I was operating under was “Russia’s claims for why they started the war are largely truthful” and “the US’s claims for why Russia started the war are largely false” which means addressing both the neonazi problem and NATO. It’s not just that there’s neonazis in the streets and in the army, it’s that they’re in the government installed by NATO and doing NATO’s bidding. In that context, it’s completely believable Crimea would want to escape the new Banderite regime that wants to exterminate their language and culture.
Ultimately, none of our arguing matters. We can go around and around in circles, but neither of us know what’s really going on. We can only guess, based on our own prior assumptions about how the world works. All we can really do is wait for history to resolve itself, maybe in a few decades we’ll know what really happened.
