With all the reading I’ve been doing on the invasion, the gods of algorithm showed two interesting viewpoints of why Russia is invading Ukraine.

1) It’s for the resources. Apparently, there are huge deposits of resources in the Black Sea off the coast of Ukraine/Crimea as well as natural gas deposits under Ukrain.

2) It’s historical. The birthplace of Soviet Russia originated from Ukraine and are thus “one people” with Russians.


Again, I absolutely believe the western democracies HAVE to retaliate in force. It’s democracy at stake. Where are all the Republican hawks who are spouting how great US democracy is and how great freedom is?
