History lesson (from a Romanian analyst)
After the WWII, in 1945, Ukraine was recompensed by annexing Transcarpathia regions, Basarabia (southern part of East Moldavia), Polish Galicia and a part of the Romanian Bukovina. And in 1954, Crimeea was also handed out to Ukraine. 1/17

After the dismantling of USSR, Ukraine kept all these territories. In essence, Ukraine, in Eastern Europe, is Yugoslavia’s equivalent:an artificial state form that includes many ethnicities and their former territories,therefore an area of many political conflicts and chaos. 2/17
The agreement between the Russian federation and US was that the Russians remove their troops from the former GDR, to permit Germany’s reunification, and from the former communist countries, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Letonia, Estonia, Lithuania, 3/17
all of which were gonna be independent countries.All of this in exchange for the commitment that NATO would not expand to the East.The said countries, including Ukraine and Romania, would have been the buffer zones between NATO and the Russian federation.Russia did its part. 4/17
After the fall of USSR, Ukraine found itself being the third nuclear power in the world, having stocks of nuclear weapons bigger than the ones that China, UK and France were holding together. 5/17
Russia, US and UK made the commitment, through the Budapest memorandum, to respect the sovereignty and borders of Ukraine which would, in turn, surrender its nuclear arsenal. And Ukraine did that. All its nuclear heads were shipped to Russia and destroyed between 1994-1996. 6/17
All that Ukraine needed to do, if it had smart leaders, was to maintain its neutrality between the two nuclear powers. To become a Switzerland of the East. It would have benefited from the economic relations with Russia as well as from the open path towards the EU. 7/17
Having a population of 51 mil people, second in size after Russia, rich in natural resources, Ukraine had all the opportunities to become a desirable economic partner for the occident. What did Ukraine do? 8/17
After NATO broke its agreement with Russia and incorporated the former communist countries, bringing troops and military forces at the Russian border, Ukraine figured it would be best to be in both EU and NATO. 9/17
The 2013 Euromaidan, orchestrated by Soros, which led to the fall of the Ukrainian president and government and to the replacement of it with pro-occident forces, got Russia mad. So Putin said “oh, yeah? In that case, give us back the territories that were gifted to you.” 10/17
And in one swift move, he took back Crimeea, Donbas and Luhansk. Is it better that way? You didn’t like neutrality. Biden charmed you?
Biden was the VP in the Obama era at that time. He directly supported the Euromaidan. 11/17

After that, Biden installed Hunter in Ukraine who made colossal business deals. When the deals got investigated, Biden called the puppet of a president to fire the judge. Which he did. Every political analysis I see, flatly ignores all these. 12/17
What’s also ignored is the fact that Ukraine is the only European country that issued a law that denies any rights to the minorities (Romanian, Polish, Hungarian, etc).They can’t have school in their native language, they can’t have activities that preserve their traditions.13/17
To be eligible to enter NATO, you have to respect the fundamental rights of your people. Didn’t NATO have military interventions in other countries for this exact reason, to free them from dictatorships? But everyone is blind when it comes to Ukraine. 14/17
Why does this not smell fishy to anyone? And now Ukraine wants to start a WWIII and have everyone suffer. Romania just signed a military cooperation contract with Ukraine. Under the pressure of our “partners”. 15/17
We are supposed to help them keep our annexed territories and continue to discriminate the 500k Romanian people in Ukraine. It’s very hard to remain objective in a world that is becoming decadently moral each and every day. 16/17
The West, which used to be the epitome of democracy and political morality, has now become a monster. If we want to do an equitable analysis, we better be able to put ourselves in the shoes of the adversary. Because the adversary has its own interests, just like you do. 17/17
