Russian In Australia Booted For Speaking a Little Truth

I support neither side because they both obviously serve the same hidden agenda, but it really bothers me that this fact about the Donbas region has been totally ignored by almost everyone. Everyone talks about how Russia invaded Ukraine because of NATO expansion, but nobody mentions the fact that Putin declared several cities in the Donbas region, which have been at war with the Ukrainian government since 2014, independent the day before he invaded.

And of course it can be argued that the conflict in the Donbas region that has been going on since 2014 is the product of the club as well, of course it can be argued that it's what Putin uses to justify war. However, I believe it's perfectly reasonable to do what Sasha Gillies-Lekakis did here and use Ukraine's actions in the Donbas region to justify Putin's invasion and something worth mentioning to people who are trying to make it like Ukraine is totally innocent and Putin has no justification for his actions.

I'd also like to say, I find it ridiculous that the mainstream media will proudly show videos of Ukrainian civilians making Molotov cocktails with their infant children and then complain when Russia kills these civilians. To me, both sides are dying for corrupt governments that they should be overthrowing.

"Everybody talks, talks, talks about these questions, but what is said about them lacks the minimum of clarity without which talking becomes a harmful operation. Because talking always has certain consequences. And since talking about these subjects has become general -for years, people have practically talked about nothing else, and allowed no one to talk about anything else -the consequences of all this chatter are, obviously, very serious." -Man and People, by Jose Ortega y Gasset
