Though I try to argue that the Russian Invasion of Ukraine was not only provoked but forced, and the US empire actively worked on this project, to destroy and dismantle Russia (and it's predecessor, USSR, for the same real reasons--competition) for decades, going back to at least 1944 when we started supporting Ukrainian nationalists (and Nazis), and you don't even have to believe my story on the Maidan for there to be sufficient evidence because the case is over-determined, it is a much easier case to make if you accept all the facts I do, which most in West probably don't, thanks to endless programming by western media, instead calling them "Russian Propaganda."
1) The 2014 Maidan Revolution was actively supported if not planned and orchestrated by US. (My actual belief is that it was yet another Color Revolution--orchestrated by NED, CIA and State Department. But you don't have to believe all that for the war still to have been provoked.)
2) The snipers who shot on protestors were neonazies (and who were actually firing on a group of pro-Russian protestor/counter-protestors). They were NOT government troops. (For one thing, Yanukovich would not be that stupid, nor would his "friend" Putin, both of which well knew the Color Revolution script. But even if they were that stupid, the typical response would be investigation not regime change. How many times have US officers or troops killed Americans without causing regime change in USA?)
3) The anti-Maidan sentiments in majority or plurality pro-Russian regions (Donbas and Crimea) was organic. Russia gave minimal security assistance (to hold back the neonazis) but was not forcing people to vote for autonomy or re-unification with Russia. In fact, both in Donbas and Crimea by that point, the sentiment was already for re-unification with Russia. But (oppositional to western prejudices about him) Putin held back that option from Donbas. They were only allowed to vote for autonomy within a Ukrainian federation...the view later demanded by Minsk and Minsk II aggrements (and Russia's official position today...basically no NATO and no armed Nazis in Ukraine).
4) Even if he headline numbers of the Crimean Referendum were a bit overstated (and it's not hard to estimate by how much...even assuming all non-participants would have voted against re-unification it still gets over 80%), re-unificiation with Russia did and still does represent the vast majority preference in Crimea. The reason the Referendum is considered faulty in the west is precisely because all the agencies which could have made it official are controlled by the US and fundamentally opposed to the idea. US wants that port in Crimea, and to deny Russians from it.
5) The deaths in the trade union building in Odessa were caused deliberately or accidentally by Neonazis. (But this is not actually material to the question, only perhaps to the widespread anti-Maidan sentiments among most in Donbas, which is also caused by other things, such as the banning of Russian language--the first act of the post-Maidan regime--, the banning of pro-Russian political candidates and parties, and the elevation of Banderites as heroes. So that feeling is actually over-determined.)
6) Neonazis (or perhaps more correctly, Banderites) effectively control the Ukrainian government by being the 'Deep State' behind it, which answers to it's key backer...the USA. 'Elections' are a sham in virtually all countries, and mostly of all in Ukraine, one of the most corrupt countries on earth. When given the choice, people voted for the self-declared 'Peace' candidate Zelenskyy who said he would seek peace with Russia, and then did the opposite.
7) The Ideology of Banderites is explicitly to drive out Russians from Ukraine. Despite having lived in Donbas for hundreds of years...and as long as Ukrainians have (!)...Russians are seen as inherently inferior.
8) The Ukrainian Civil War was essentially ethnic cleansing and killed 14,000 people, mostly ethnic Russians in Donbas, 2014-2022.
9) Ukraine had planned a major attack on Donbas and Crimea in March 2022, and had already started softening Donbas targets with increased artillery attacks starting before Russia started emergency procedures, including later the SMO. Russia gave numerous warnings and sought negotiations to resolve the issue without success at that time, as they had done for decades prior (!).
Anyway, this and dozens of other things which I believe to be true are called 'Russian Propaganda' by people brainwashed by western media. Here's a great article on this, written in early 2022!
