No, it makes it okay for a foreign country to invade with just cause when there was…

1. A coup
2. The next election was won through the popularity of a tv series, where the election winner played president on tv. This was not a coincidence.
3. It became very clear that the policies of these two presidents that it would completely isolate Ukraine from Russia, despite half of Ukraine being Russian and the other half semi-Russian.
4. This upset parts of Ukraine that have deep economic ties with Russia so much, that they declared independence of Ukraine to join Russia, starting with Crimea.
5. This in turn was painted by US/UK media as aggressive annexation by Putin.
6. It also became clear that Zelensky wanted to join the EU at all costs.
7. This concerned Russia as the EU doesn’t seem to be independent of NATO policy and having nukes placed close to Russia’s border aimed at Moscow in areas where xx% of the population would consider themselves Russian wanting to join Russia is considered a nightmare scenario for Russia if separatist conflict would be taking place there.
8. Russia then made negotiations with Ukraine to address both concerns and Ukraine did not uphold their part of the agreement. This happened twice and in both cases this ended up with military victory for Russia and the separatist areas.
9. Russia also negotiated with NATO, since NATO was supplying Ukraine with arms to end this conflict and it became clear that NATO and the EU were pushing Ukraine to further the conflict.
10. At this point Russia decided that it was time to act before things would get further out of control, showing Ukraine’s president that they were willing to wage war in order to prevent high otential nuclear conflict, by doing a small flash invasion, while preparing for world war III.
11. Ukraine’s president then flipped, saying he was willing to take the situation serious, but then flopped when UK’s former prime minister came to visit him telling Zelensky that NATO was prepared to fully support Ukraine with whatever military equipment he needed.

Is eight years of ethnic cleansing, three broken treaties and potential nukes in the hands of a nazi junta not “just cause” enough for you?

There was just cause. The Kiev regime has killed 13,000 civilians in the Donbass region, and had amassed huge amounts of troops to retake the seperatist regions shortly before Russian intervention stopped the invasion.

The west treats Ukraine like they do Israel. After the western-supported Euromaidan coup in 2014, they’ve armed millitant Banderites to crack down on communists and geopolitical adversaries of the west.

Its government came to power as a result of a US-backed coup, for starters.

edit: For the record, I upvoted you because your question is fair and valid if you don’t know the history and context of the situation. And the western media where many people understandably (if sadly) get their information from will never provide that history and context. That is why we get these confidently ignorant people coming into threads like this gobsmacked that anyone can deny what they see as the obvious truth of Russia’s “unjustified invasion by a foreign aggressor.”

The meme is trying to portray Russia as a misunderstood good guy while everyone else is evil.

No it doesn’t, you’re strawmanning

I agree with most of the evil flags being there rightfully, but Ukraine is literally defending itself from unjustified invasion.

You think being invaded automatically makes a country good?

Uh, what? Look at the context of this post, jackass. The meme is trying to portray Russia as a misunderstood good guy

The flag of Russia isn’t even in the meme, “jackass.” The flag of the USSR is, though sadly it hasn’t existed for a few decades now. Like most clueless liberals happily drowning in propaganda, you are falsely equating modern capitalist Russia with the USSR.

And that’s not even getting into the fact that even modern Russia (whose flag appears nowhere in this image, genius) was wholly justified in entering the civil war that had already been ongoing inside Ukraine on behalf of the eastern regions of Ukraine whose civilians were being slaughtered by the Ukrainian government’s militias. But I admit that it’s hard to keep a straight face when talking to someone who uses NATO buzzwords like “unjustified foreign aggressor” because I keep having to facepalm.

Begging liberals to stop thinking of the world in terms of “good guys and bad guys” like overgrown toddlers and start looking at things in terms of cause and effect like adults

Kiev is run by Bandera-upholding Neo-Nazis that took power in the western-backed Euromaidan coup in 2014. Since then, 13,000+ civilians in the Donbass region have been killed by the Kiev regime, which is why Donetsk and Luhansk voted to secede. Communists generally support Russian intervention to protect the DPR and LPR against the western-backed fascists, who shortly before Russian intervention had ammassed huge forces to invade the Donbass region and retake it.

Ukraine is supported by the west for similar reasons as Israel, they are governed by the far-right and serve western interests in their respective regions.
