Noting Goom has the patience to respond, I feel I will give a brief response too.
Proximity said: "Firstly, Ukraine never chose to be invaded"
THIS IS NOT A TRUE STATEMENT.
I have posted this video from Zelensky's personal advisor, Alexey Arestovych, multiple times now. Yes it is in another language but it has subtitles and people should read it if they have not already. Here it is again:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xNHmHpERH8In this interview from 2019 (years prior to Russia's invasion!) he clearly outlined almost to the month, that Ukraine's actions would lead to Russia INVADING Ukraine. Therefore, as Ukraine refused to stop doing what it was doing (bombing eastern Ukraine, seeking to get US missiles in Ukraine) Russia invaded.
If you do something that someone does not like there is such a thing as cause and effect. as an example if one commits a crime, and the police arrest you, you chose to be arrested because you knowing committed the crime. Now sure, there is an argument of not getting caught, but you knew there was a credible risk of response to your erroneous action. So instead of robbing a bank try to find another way to make money. i.e. Ukraine had alot of options and the road they took was way too dangerous.
Comrade Testing Ground will just keep repeating NATO propaganda even when the time comes when Ukraine has finally run out of men and decisively lost the war.
Russia lost a lot of men and material therefor it's a win for NATO despite the fact that all Western backers have piled up even more debt than they already had, their top tier weapons like excalibur shells have become obsolete and need to be redesigned, military stockpiles have been emptied and it will take a decade or more to replenish all that stuff and will take a massive investment.
