Interesting article that talks about the similarities between now and 1938, and the sort of lessons we can learn from history.

You have to go back over 200 years to get France invading Russia. Russia invaded Paris in 1813. Everyone invaded everyone in the 1800’s. Russia was invading all its neighbors in the 1800’s.

The US/UK supporting the Russian Czar during the Civil War isn’t an invasion.
Yeah just like how this is special military operation!
There is no civil war in Ukraine and Putin recognizes Zelensky as the legitimate head of state. So not the same at all.
But the two republics are also recognized and did ask for help as well, hence the SMO- and idk what you would consider 2014-2022 in ukraine but civil war would be a fair description in my opinion.
Only a few countries recognize Donbas.

Yet Russia didn’t defend Donbas but invaded all of Ukraine. They had troops outside of Kiev before being fought back.

Literally 1984 censorship if you’re pretending otherwise
If it was a negotiated withdrawal, Russian troops would not have been killed by Ukraine. Russian troops would have left before being forced to withdraw.
Which is beside the point that their attempt to take Kiev makes your claim that it was defensive a lie.
???
How did you take that from anything I said
