They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

How could Russia 'invade' Donbas if they were invited? You've been asked this several times and avoided answering every one.

I'll rephrase it, Russia should've defended Donbas and nothing else. Going further than Donbas is an unequivocal invasion.

I've answered all your "questions" hexshit.

the only way one could believe this is a viable military strategy is if you have gamerbrain. if Ukraine knew that Russia was not going to go beyond the Donbass then when not just set up a shitload of defense and artillery positions along the border? it would be a massive military advantage to Ukraine and it's not as if the Western response would have been tempered because of it, they were sanctioning Russia even before the war began

You realise that would mean war with Ukraine, and that it's universally accepted that you can attack an enemy country you're already at war with.

Nope. Crimea stayed within Crimea. This is simply Russia having bloodlust.

I can tell you're a Catholic by the way you think that you just declaring something makes it true.
