New York Times report demolishes the narrative of the “unprovoked war” in Ukraine

So, this is what we (the public) were spoon fed in the legacy "propaganda" news over and over. But, now, the New York Times has published an article that completely shatters this narrative. This is why you can't believe anything you hear from the legacy news and politicians and their flunkies.

Here is the link to the New York Times article for reference:

... and here is an excellent article from http://WSWS.org commenting on that article:
