Russian-ukraime War: Explanation Needed Here by Apologist02: 2:42pm On Mar 05, 2022
War is synonymous to destruction. Majority of the Ukrainian nor Russian citizens were not consulted before the situation got this bad, and they are expected to bear the brunt of the decisions made.
Having follow both the Pro-Putin and Pro-Western analysts, I have the following questions to ask and I will love if anyone can give objective answers.

1. Ukraine runs a similar style of government to the Russians. Why are the Pro-westerners in support of them knowing that they are prone to the same style of leadership authority that Putin presently has?
2. Western media are serially accused of leading propaganda against the Russians, pls where does the Pro-Putin analyst get their news and facts from? I want recommendations of places to check for authentic news.
3. Why did Putin and his government have to consistently deny any plan of invasion when Biden first raised the intelligence? They even mock and called the US a war monger.
4. The picture attached below is from Aljazeera. It shows currency rate between ruble and the dollars over the past 10 years. The evidence shows clearly that the ruble never recovered from the sanctions the Russian federation received during the Crimea Disputes. How do you think the present sanctions won't have a effect on Russian economy considering the fact that in less than one week after the sanctions their currency has falled by about 30%?

1. Ukraine is starting to lean more towards the west since the last President was kicked out and Zelensky got to power. The new president is pro west, a good opportunity for nato and EU to get closer to Russia bother and access to ghe large land mass of border between Ukraine and Russia. Well I know NATO should have expected a response from any Russia leader, the same way Any American leader would respond to Mexico or Canada aligning to Russia militarily.

2. I usually real from both sides… I read Sputnik for the pro Russian, CNN or Fox for pro western and Aljazeera or Vice for a neutral stand. For example; the audio click that said 13 Ukrainian soldiers were killed after telling Russians to Bleep off on that Island it’s all over western media, on Sputnik news their version says 80+ soldiers, and they all surrendered after their clip and were given a bus that took them to Kherson to join their family. So while Russia is till calling this Special OP, the west calls it an invasion. Both sides are right if you think about it, during an invasion you mostly use a small portion of your military and your old weapons but an invasion could sometimes be a declaration of war too just like Iraq and Syria.

3. I don’t know much about Russian economy but it’s been in the news for a while after Crimea situation that Russias been buying gold like crazy, and has so far managed to move upto 50% of its reserves into gold and some into Chinese currency. So I’m really not sure about how this sanctions will affect Russian economy without bleeding EU countries too, especially Germany and UK. The only sanctions that I know for sure that is working is the one against Putin friends, that definitely is very efficient and very personal.

It will affect everybody in Europe directly, and the rest of the world indirectly.

I just confirm that Euro fell from what it was last month. But I don't understand what you meant by "falling like never before" because the fall is 2.5%. Most currency fell by a slight margin also.

Interestingly, the dollar made a slight gain in the past days while yen has a slight fall. Interesting times ahead for the global powers.
