Can't say that's surprising. There are a lot of theories about the Wuhan Flu having originated in Winnipeg. I guess we should be expecting a Russian invasion shortly. You know, to deNazify us. We'd best not resist them either, or they'll start aggressively killing and bombing us, rather than killing and bombing us with a smile.

Start with Transcona !!

Interesting backstory to the American funded biolabs:



What's more interesting is the backstory to Ukraine in the leadup to the Russian invasion.

First off the "invaded a sovereign country" narrative sounds more and more like horse sh*t when you consider the fact that the Zelensky government went out of their way to ban "pro-Russian" political parties (aka - any political party that does NOT agree to WEF style globalism), democratically dis-enfranchising almost 1/3 of the country, particularly (but not limited to) ethnic Russians in Southern and Eastern Ukraine.

Viktor Medvedchuk is an important figure, who while was definitely pro-Russian (and a good friend of Putin) - still had more popular support and potentially could have unseated Zelensky.

A year BEFORE the Russian invasion, Medvedchuk's political party was polling higher than Zelensky's... so Zelensky sanctioned his party.

A comparable example would be the Trudeau government banning the Bloc Quebecois from fundraising (say by ordering all bank accounts linked to the BQ being frozen).

The bigger problem is that since 2014, Ukraine had failed to secure peace in the Donbass region which, by the sounds of it are a consequence of corruption and incompetence of the Zelenksy government (especially by integrating psychotic radical neo-Nazi movements into their military).

A consequence of the conflict is very large numbers of civilian casualties, primarily among the Russian speaking population.

Putin's position seems to be that the civilian casualties among the Russian speaking population of the region, combined with corruption and outright anti-democratic measures taken by Zelensky, along with both Ukraine's aspirations to join NATO and NATO's not so subtle nudging of Ukraine.

All of this presented a very real security threat to Russia which the Russians (not just Putin) seem well aware as a reasonable justification for the invasion.

TLDR: There are no good guys in Ukraine, not from a Western perspective.

Zelensky and Putin are both thugs and no good will come from Western involvement in the conflict.

What's worse is it seems as if important people in the West (such as the Biden family) have a LOT of hidden dirt in Ukraine...

So the whole the "invaded a sovereign country" propaganda narrative might actually be a codeword for: "the Zelensky government is hiding something very important for the globalists."

Zelensky is basically butt buddies with Trudeau. They're cut from the same cloth.

Zelenski was about to launch a massive attack against the autonomous regions (backed by the west) in an attempt to gain final control. Apparently azov were promised land that they “liberated” from the people living there. That’s why russia invaded.

Crimea was part of Russia since the 1700's. It was taken from the Turks.

Don't know why Ukraine is so butthurt about that.

Crimea was part of Russia since the 1700's. It was taken from the Turks.

Don't know why Ukraine is so butthurt about that.

Actually, was only a Turkish (Ottoman) vassal, not their land for real.

"The Crimean Khanate was one of the successor states of the Golden Horde. In 1475, it entered into an alliance with the Ottoman Empire which gradually evolved into a vassalage. The Ottoman tutelage (or protectorate) over the Crimean Khanate lasted for exactly 300 years (1475-1774)." ttps://shc.stanford.edu/events/ottoman-empire-and-crimean-khanate-symbiotic-alliance-or-veiled-rivalry
Eventually, the Russian Empire got tired of their raids and when they had sufficient power, they canceled those buggers. Good riddance, because the Tatars trade was a constant large supply of young female Christian sex slaves for the Constantinople slave markets.
