War, it seems, was the only option Russia’s opponents had ever considered.
While the so-called “collective west” (the U.S., NATO, the E.U. and the G7) continue to claim that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was an act of “unprovoked aggression,” the reality is far different: Russia had been duped into believing there was a diplomatic solution to the violence that had broken out in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine in the aftermath of the 2014 U.S.-backed Maidan coup in Kiev.
Instead, Ukraine and its Western partners were simply buying time until NATO could build a Ukrainian military capable of capturing the Donbass in its entirety, as well as evicting Russia from Crimea.

The west had a scheme, but it was a farcically uninformed one. They didn’t understand Russia or Russia’s capabilities, and they didn’t understand themselves or their limitations. They have conducted their scheme in a most child like fashion, and like children, they can not recognize their failure, and so, can not even comprehend their next step.
One can almost hear NATO’s leaders crying for their mommy. They have humiliated our countries.
