Russia and it’s Ukrainian invasion

 

The following is a summary of resources relevant to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

I will try to keep it updated as much as possible, but suggestions in forms of comments are also welcome.

Let's all hope this won't turn into World War III.

To start our educational journey, one of the first steps we can't skip over is to cover the basics related to imperialism in general:

www.facebook.com/notes/were-all-in-this-together/imperialism-international-relations-conflicts-war-us-history/206812284024573

The usual official excuses and propaganda used by war criminal military empires, to deliberately escalate conflict, making their following offensive actions look more acceptable to the rest of the world:

While history might not always exactly repeat itself in minute details, it certainly, very much rhymes. As imperialistic strategies are very similar, once we understand and recognize the patterns, we can start forming an accurate idea even on what to expect.

Now that we covered the basics, hopefully ensuring us being more or less on the same page, from an informational standpoint, let's focus our attention to the history and the current state of affairs between Russia, Ukraine, U.S.A. and the rest of the world. As in every conflict, of any kind, it is always crucial to understand what is driving all parties involved in it, regardless of our own subjective level of agreement or disagreement with either of their potential motives and actual strategies.

And now, updates from the current conflict should make much more sense, reminding us even why representative democracy and informed voting have such a crucial importance, in order to avoid the brutality of war. With other words, it's in all our interest, as a global community, to take our civic duty much more seriously and elect better leaders and representatives, while we still can, before things get out of hand, requiring expensive, deadly sacrifices.
