...From a strictly military point of view, it's true that Russia "invaded" Ukraine. But since "war is the continuation of politics by other means,".., this military deployment must be qualified & interpreted according to the political assumptions that give it its meaning.
...
Moreover, just like in Soviet times, Russia is depicted as an enemy from which the US & its puppet European governments must protect themselves &, at the same time, prevent Russia from protecting itself... english.almayadeen.net/articles/opini…

..The ineptitude of a European leadership also deserves other descriptions: short-sighted, corrupt, ignorant & submissive to ignominy in face of US hegemonism, leaving aside the fact that Washington willn't hesitate a second to wage new wars in Europe,.. english.almayadeen.net/articles/opini…
...or in its front yard in the Middle East as many times as it suits its interests, leaving behind its military adventures pain, death, and destruction in European societies. english.almayadeen.net/articles/opini…
Viktor Yanukovych observed that any president of the US would have reacted with violence if a major power like Russia had precipitated a coup in a border country, say Mexico, deposed a government friendly to Washington & installed in its place a profoundly anti-American regime.
In short, appearances do not always reveal the essence of things, & what at first glance appears to be one thing – an invasion – seen from another perspective & taking into account the historical & socio-political, & geopolitical context, may be something completely different.
