The CIA being in Ukraine since the 1950's, keeping the Bandera Nationalist and Nazi collaboration movement alive and well, for an eventual conflict with Russia, is why Russia launched the SMO.

Yea, because literally everything that ever happens is because of the CIA.

Yeah, just let the CIA do whatever. It's not like the Russian civilization lost nearly 30 million lives defeating the Nazis who were also propped up by Western Banks.

Google molotov ribbentrop. Plenty of enabling blame to go around. Also a disproportionate number of the Soviet dead - not Russian civilization - were belarussians, poles, ukrainians, balts, and other non Russian minorities. Yes, the west is bad and does bad things. But history is not black and white, there are no innocent empires.

After nearly a decade of rejections from the west, signing a non aggression pact to buy time is not the same as giving Nazis the money and material they needed to rise to power and conquer the German Communists who were opposing them.

History is not black and white, it's just that the West consistently is on the wrong side of History.
