RE: Russia Invades Ukraine: What is going on?

in Economics3 years ago

That's a wonderful summary keeping everything in perspective. It's not only social media banning information which is pro Russian, but I have witnessed similar things happening here on Hive as well, where people are getting downvoted for sharing their views. This war has actually started 8 years ago, we are seeing it now, but the people of Crimea have been witnessing it in subtle ways right from then. Suddenly Covid has vanished from across the world and not it's all about Russia.

Sort:  

Mainstream media have oversimplified the war and therefore, have distorted the account of the situation. We need to go back to at least 2014 to understand how many of today's problems began. Arguably, we could go back much further when we consider NATOs expansion and before that to end of the Soviet Union and even before that. Russia and Ukraine have a long relationship, most of it we will probably never fully understand.
