The crisis in Ukraine was sparked by aggressive NATO expansion, a western-backed Banderite coup in 2014, and the inability of Russia to resolve the ensuing civil war and ethnic cleansing committed by the new Kiev regime against the Donbass with the Minsk agreements. Russia wanted to join NATO decades ago and join the imperialist club, but the west decided it would rather re-colonize Russia, hence the reciprocation from Russia.
In that case, it seems our views on reality and sources are too far apart to find agreement in a comment thread. If you get the chance, I would highly recommend visiting the ex-soviet republics in eastern Europe and speaking with the locals, including the Russian diaspora there. That has been eye opening for me.
Most people in many post-soviet countries such as Romania say that life was better under socialism, and that’s despite 35 years of anticommunist propaganda based on cold war myths and anti-Russian racism.
Go ahead, tell us again how wonderfully well capitalism has worked for Ukraine

I’d love to visit if I ever get the chance, for now the best I can do is pay attention to what’s available.
i’ve been looking for a western source that the american freedom of information act doesn’t immediately prove is propaganda; do you have any to share?
here’s a tldr and a clickable link if you’ve never heard of the freedom of information act:
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a federal law in the United States that grants individuals the right to request access to records held by federal government agencies. This law was enacted to promote transparency and accountability within the government.
