A bit of background and a lot of hypocrisy in Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Russia is invading Ukraine, and it seems most people outside of Russia support Ukraine. This is certainly not due to any informed opinion on their part, but they merely repeat what the media tells them. It reminds me of around the year 2015 when Islamic terror attacks were common place in Europe. People would change their profile picture on Twitter or Facebook to the flag of the affected country and spout hastags like #PrayForParis or #JeSuisCharlie. This demonstrated a complete lack of understanding of the bigger picture of why this was happening, and also the lack of desire to want to understand the situation. It was merely an emotional response of childish people who were confronted with something unpleasant and scary. Their response to the Ukraine situation is no different.

It won't be my purpose to try to convince anyone to support Russia in this situation, but to try to analyze some of the reasons why this is happening. Perhaps I am somehow peculiar, since when I am confronted with something shocking and potentially dangerous, I try understand what is happening and what to do with it, instead being overtaken by emotion like a teenaged girl.

A Soft Start

First let's look at the background of our world from the past 20 years or so. A sort of soft starting point for this story can be said have been September 11, 2001. We all know the gist of what happened in America back then. However if you try to inquire further, people's conditioning kicks in and they stop out of fear of being called a conspiracy theorist, or if you bring it up to others, they get emotional and accuse you of being one. There are many unanswered questions regarding 9/11, such as the fact that in addition to the two towers, Building 7 was also destroyed despite no plane hitting it. The owner of the building, Larry Silverstein, even said on video to "pull it" suggesting it was a controlled demolition. Did they have time to rig the building with explosives during a terrorist attack? Not to mention the dancing Israelis who were arrested by the police, but later released. Back in Israel one of the men was shown on television saying he was working for Mossad, and he was there "to document the event" suggesting the Israelis knew in advance what was about to transpire.

But let's get past that for now, and assume it was merely the Taliban and Al-Qaida who were behind the attacks. How did they get into power? Back in the eighties the Americans supported them against the Soviet Union. You can see the movie Rambo III as evidence as it is a pro-Taliban propaganda piece. 9/11 already serves as contrast to our current situation. You are supposed to accept the superficial narrative given to us by the media, and if you question it, you are somehow in the wrong. Back then president George W. Bush said "either you're with us, or you're with the terrorists" when he started the War on Terror.

A short while after 9/11 America invaded Afghanistan due to their supposed role in 9/11, and as I said, let's assume the Taliban was responsible, it was still a self-inflicted wound by the US as they were the ones that helped Taliban into power. In 2003 America invaded Iraq due alleged weapons of mass destruction that did not turn out to exist. In 2011 NATO headed by the US took over Libya, and the president of the country Muammar Ghaddafi got sodomized to death with a bayonet after which secretary of state Hillary Clinton merely laughed about it. Starting from 2014 America tried to accomplish a similar outcome in Syria, although that has failed at least so far. America has also engaged in military operations in Pakistan, involved itself in the Somali civil war, perpetrated drone strikes in Yemen in the last 20 years to mention a few.

Why is then that when Russia attacks Ukraine, the whole western world suddenly gets concerned about this one act of war, while they were mostly silent in these others matters, or even participated in them? America invading other countries naturally does not excuse Russia to do so. However why the hypocrisy? Certainly America has been occasionally been criticized for its warlike actions, but no actual steps have been taken to curb their aggression. Russia receives all kinds of sanctions, and will even the removed from the SWIFT international banking system, but surely the actions of the United States has caused much more death and suffering in this millennium than Russia's.

Perhaps you might say the wars perpetrated by the United States have been justified, whereas Russia's are not. Let me remind you of Iraq. Donald Rumsfeld had explicitly stated that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, but that turned out to be a lie. Where is the outrage for that? Where are the sanctions, where is ostracizing America for it's immoral actions? Nowhere, since the US and most of Europe is ruled by an elite with a similar worldview. Call it globalism, or transnational liberalism, or something else. The reason Russia gets punished is not because it's actions are worse, but because it is viewed as an outsider.

The actions of America (possibly with a little help from Israel) in the middle-east have de-stabilized the region giving rise to the terrorist group ISIS or ISIL. Yet the international community pretends the group just magically puffed into existence.

So let me ask you, if are angry at Russia for invading Ukraine, did you get this emotional against the injustices perpetrated by America in the middle-east? Why not? Is the life of an Iraqi or an Afghani worth less than that of a Ukrainian? Was it perchance because the media didn't tell you to get angry? How about when Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 during the Beijing Olympics? Did you get angry? I can say I did, but not as much at Russia as the media. Back then Russia attacking one of its neighbors wasn't seen as a big deal so the media mostly ignored it whereas I wanted to know why are they were attacking. How is the Ukraine situation different from the Georgia situation back then?

Why is Russia doing this in the first place?

Have you even considered why Russia is attacking now? What motivated Vladimir Putin to declare the invasion in the first place? Supposedly the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine wants to be free from Ukraine, and Russia is there as a peacekeeping mission. Naturally it's an excuse, but how is it different from the excuses that America makes when they attack sovereign nations? Putin himself made an hour long speech before he started the war to explain some of his reasons. Some of them do not sound that convincing, such as Ukraine having not existed as an independent nation before Lenin created the state. Even if it is true, that does not excuse them from having the right to be independent now. Another reason stated was that Ukraine was getting too close to NATO, and Putin does not want more NATO presence next to its borders. It sounds like a reasonable position to take, especially since NATO was created for curbing the Soviet Union, which collapsed 30 years ago. Putin also mentioned something about Ukraine owing them money. I cannot say whether it is true, but if it is, another reasonable justification for invasion, especially since Ukraine and US have been rather unwilling to engage in diplomacy with Russia under the current political regime in the States.

Another couple of small details about Ukraine are the Orange Revolution in 2004, which installed an American puppet government, and the Maidan revolution in 2014, another American ploy to maintain control with the help of George Soros. Currently Ukraine is a US controlled nation, so how is it any worse if Russia takes over the country, since it's not truly independent right now anyway? Especially since Russia and Ukraine are historically and ethnically close, which is not something you can say about the United States and Ukraine.

One reason the west, or particularly the United States, is against this invasion is possibly related to the fact that president Biden's son, Hunter, worked for a Ukrainian gas company, Burisma.  Supposedly John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi and Mitt Romney too have children working for Ukrainian gas companies. This reeks of corruption, and were Russia to take over the country, some of this corruption could be made public, which is what the ruling elite of the US does not want to happen.

Another detail about Ukraine is that there are supposedly several American biolabs in the country. Either Putin might be worried they are developing bio-weapons that could be used against Russia, or perhaps the bio-labs contain information that Americans don't want made public, such as illegal research.

If you simply insist that Russia is the sole faulty party here, then tell me what should Russia do? America keeps building its military presence through NATO next to its borders, and subverting the democratic process in these countries to have governments that do their bidding. Is Russia supposed to sit quietly until every single nation surrounding it is controlled by the United States in one way or another? Is Russia supposed to allow the same subversion eventually to take place in their own country, or perhaps merely be taken over by the United States and its minions? It is not that I say this out of some great concern for Russia, but the rest of the world. I for one don't want the world to be one global empire controlled by America.

Further Possibilities

I do not think that Putin is acting altruistically here, and a sensible position usually is to oppose any war, but there is a possibility that if Russia manages to take over Ukraine is that it could have positive side-effects, such as exposing more of American shenanigans. That is merely a possibility however. Even if information existed within Ukraine that would bring to light more American corruption, and Russia got hold of the information, they might not make it public, and merely use to it to extort America for their own benefit. Then again they say the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and the military industrial complex ruling America is everybody's enemy even if you do not know it yourself.

Conversely a recently surfaced video of Klaus Schwab, the head of the World Economic Forum, where he says that Putin, along with politicians in various other countries, are members of their group. This war could simply be distraction from other issues, such as a pandemic where the cure appears to be more dangerous than the disease. It might be that both sides of the war are controlled by the same entity. Even if that is true, it is still hypocritical to condemn one side for their warlike actions, but not the other. Especially when America's track record is far bloodier than Russia's, if we exclude the Soviet Union, which we should since it is politically a separate entity.

Still it is quite simplistic to dismiss major events merely as the orchestrations of one conspiratorial mastermind. Even if Putin has been groomed by WEF it is possible, that he has detached himself from group, and wants to be independent.

Once again let me remind you, if you oppose this war out of principle, then tell me you have equally opposed the American wars with inarguably worse outcomes for the rest of the world. Being against all wars is a noble position, but to oppose the war in Ukraine, one must recognize that the United States is at least equally responsible as Russia through their meddling. The globalist war machine should be dismantled. That won't happen by merely complaining about Russia on social media.
