[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Explain this to me like I am five.

Donbas is Russian speaking area.

Zelensky had to learn Ukrainian language after he became president.

Ukraine is traditionally under russian control.  Ukraine has not no sustained period of independence for hundreds of years.

Why do we need to figure for Donbas region?[/quote]

On 2020, Donbas would have picked to be part of Russia.  Now, they have changed their mind and want to be Ukraine.[/quote]

Well if it’s such a fickle matter, why should we care?[/quote]

Because Russia is basically pre-WWII Nazi Germany, except way more dangerous.  The question is, 'would you have contained Hitler in 1938?'  In 20/20 hindsight, the answer is 'yes'.  It would have saved millions of lives.

Here you go.  Phosphorous bombs on civilian buildings.  No, it's not a video game.  It's real.

The Russian Army is out of control - raping women, kidnapping children, murdering civilians and executing POWs.  The Europeans are pretty freaked out.  The Russian Government is an organized crime family in charge of nuclear weapons.  Show any weakness or fear, and yes, they will not stop.  The Russian Government prides itself on ruthlessness and, for the lack of a better word, evil.[/quote]

It is far worse than that.

Russia actively interferes with U.S. politics; they have done so throughout the Cold War (even going back to the 1920s).

Now they use the internet and they are extreme effective.  They back radicals on the left, and now on the right too.

Why?

- to weaken the only other super-power:  the USA.   Yes - they still believe they are fighting the Cold War against “the West” and primarily the USA. And they believe they can “win.”

It is irrelevant if you believe the war is over.  As long as Putin believes it, and he seeks to reestablish the USSR, then:

- the Cold War is still on.

The EU mistakenly believed Russia under Putin could be their “trading partner.”

They now see they are still at war (the Cold War) with Russia.

And the Slavic states won’t let NATO or the EU fall into the trap of a “peace deal” with Putin.

Peace with Putin is no more realistic than peace with Hitler would have been.  Putin must die (or go on trial) and his regime must absolutely fall.  There is no other way forward.[/quote]
