During the disastrous Vietnam War, it was said that the U.S. government treated society as a mushroom farm: it kept it in the dark and fed it manure. This comparison is inactive valid and applies to all governments. We should realize that our supposedly free media are not utilized to inform us and enlightened debate. They are only tools of brutal propaganda, no substance what we think.

What are the real causes of this war, you can understand, only seeing it in a broader context, but that is what no 1 does for fear of being Putin's agent.

1950 to 1990 "The CIA brings Ukrainian fascists to the United States and cooperates with them to weaken the russian Union in Ukraine, conducting sabotage and propaganda operations. Ukrainian fascist leader Mikola Lebed was transported to fresh York City, where he worked with the CIA at least until the 1960s. The 20th century and was inactive useful to her until 1991, the year Ukraine gained independence. The CIA even granted him American citizenship.

The Charter is based on the Helsinki Agreements and was updated in the 1999 European safety Charter. These papers form the basis for the Organisation for safety and Cooperation in Europe. The OSCE Charter says that no country or block can build its own safety at the expense of another country.

December 25, 1991 - The collapse of the russian Union. Over the next decade, traders and corporations from Wall Street and Washington are entering to deprive the country of assets that had previously been state property, to enrich itself, to aid in the uprising of the oligarchs, to impoverish the nations of Russia, Ukraine and another nations of the erstwhile russian Union.

The '90s. "The United States withdraws from the promise made to the last russian leader Gorbachev that they will not extend NATO to east Europe in exchange for united Germany.

We have the right to ask: against whom is this extension directed [NATO]? What happened to the assurances of our Western partners after the Warsaw Pact was dissolved? Where are those declarations today? Nobody even remembers them.

Putin speaks 3 years after the accession of the Baltic States – erstwhile russian republics bordering Russia – to the Alliance. The West degrades Putin and Russia, ignoring their legitimate concerns. A year after his NATO speech, he announces that Ukraine and Georgia will become members of the alliance. 4 another states of the erstwhile Warsaw Pact join in 2009.

2004-2005 - Orange revolution in Ukraine. The results of the free (confirmed by many abroad observers) elections are cancelled, giving the presidency in the second circular to Viktor Juszczenko, a associate of the United States, alternatively than elected Viktor Yanukovych. Yushchenko makes fascist leader Bandera the national hero of Ukraine. all year, Bandera's birthday is celebrated in Ukraine.

We agreed present that these countries would become NATO members." Russia is protesting hard. William Burns, then US Ambassador to Russia, and now CIA Director, warns in dispatch to Washington, D.C., revealed by WikiLeaksthat:

Foreign Minister Lavrow and another elder officials reiterated their strong opposition, stressing that Russia will see further expansion to the east as a possible military threat. NATO's enlargement, especially of Ukraine, remains an "emotional and tense issue" for Russia, but strategical policy considerations are besides at the heart of strong opposition to the membership of Ukraine and Georgia in NATO. Ukraine they include concerns that This issue can possibly divide the country into 2 parts, leading to force and evenAs any say, Civil WarWhich will force Russia to make an intervention decision. ... Lavrow stressed that Russia must see NATO's further expansion to the east, especially to Ukraine and Georgia, as a possible military threat.

Four months later, a crisis erupts in Georgia, ending in a short war with Russia. The European Union blames Russia for the provocation that took place on the part of Georgia.

November 2009 "Russia is looking for fresh safety solutions in Europe. Moscow publishes a draft proposal for a fresh European safety architecture, which the Kremlin believes should replace outdated institutions specified as NATO and the Organisation for safety and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).

The text published on the Kremlin's website on 29 November appears more than a year after president Dmitri Medvedev first formally raised the issue. Speaking in Berlin in June 2008, Medvedev said the fresh pact was essential to yet update the Cold War arrangements.

Ukrainian fascists parade around cities in parades with torches with portraits of Bandera.

The openly neo-Nazi Azov Battalion plays a key function in fighting. Wagner's forces arrive to support Donbas militias. The US again exaggerate this as a Russian "invasion" to Ukraine. "In the 21st century, it is simply impossible to behave in a 19th century by invading another country under a completely imaginary pretext," says U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who as a senator voted for the 2003 invasion of Iraq on the basis of a completely imaginary pretext.

2016 - The Democratic organization and its allied media in the United States attack utilizing a hoax known as Russiagate. They claim that Russia allegedly interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election to elect Donald Trump.

"What we should not be doing now is to further inflame the situation by buzzing the sword and inciting war" – Steinmeier in the paper says Bild am Sontag. "Who believes that a symbolic parade of tanks on the east border of the alliance will guarantee safety is wrong". Instead, Steinmeier calls for dialog with Moscow. "We are well advised not to make excuses to resume the old confrontation," he warns, adding that "to search only military solutions and a deterrent policy would be fatal."

December 2021 "Russia presents draft treaties to the United States and NATO, proposing a fresh safety architecture in Europe, reopening the 2009 failed Russian attempt. The treaties propose the removal of the Romanian rocket strategy and the withdrawal of parts of NATO troops deployed in east Europe.
