I have no idea who to root for and I honestly don’t care too much about it either country and don’t know why I should. I have never seen so much propaganda from both sides thrown out there
It’s new NPC programming since your “elected” officials realized that Covid fear isn’t polling well enough to get “elected” again this fall.
There is so much American, Ukrainian, and Russian propaganda about the war. I've been learning Russian and talking to many Russians and Ukrainians this past year.
Surprise surprise, a war is complex. I can't explain it very well because I struggle to understand it at times myself.There was an eight year civil war, decades of Soviet occupation and centuries of Imperial occupation before that. Just scratching the surface.
NGL, Russian language isn't as complex as the war going on. And declining nouns sucks.
Good on you for learning Russian, though. If you get a chance, go visit. The food is great, and the people are mostly good too.
"occupation"
Hard to call something an occupation if there didn't exist a stable predecessor polity to occupy. It'd be like saying that Sweden, then Russia "occupied" Finland before 1917, which would only be true in the loosest sense of the word and bases on Romantic, nationalist ideals that date from the historically recent 19th century.
