What Provoked Russia’s ‘Unprovoked’ Invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022
What provoked it was the same thing that provoked John Fitzgerald Kennedy to threaten the Soviet Union and Cuba with a U.S. invasion if the Soviet Union were to post its nuclear missiles in Cuba a mere 1,131 miles (30 minutes) away from America’s central command in Washington DC in 1962, but this time it would instead be Russia’s demand for the U.S. not to place its nuclear missiles in Ukraine a mere 317 miles (5 minutes) away from Russia’s central command in Moscow.
The overthrow of the democratically elected and neutralist President of Ukraine by a U.S. coup in February 2014 and installation by the U.S. of a rabidly anti-Russian regime instead, was done with the ultimate objective of posting U.S. nuclear missiles there against The Kremlin. The war in Ukraine started with that very bloody U.S. coup. Immediately, the U.S.-installed new leader of Ukraine changed Ukraine’s top generals and installed ones who declared that they would carry out a “filtration” to eliminate their opponents. This was necessary so that in such regions as Donbass and Crimea, where the vote had been over 75% for the U.S.-overthrown President, enough of the residents would be killed or else flee into Russia, so that ONLY anti-Russian candidates would then be able to win ‘democratic’ elections in Ukraine, and so the U.S.-installed regime would then remain permanently, but do so in a ‘democratic’ way (in order for the U.S. and its colonies — or ‘allies’ — to be able to claim they were fighting for “democracy,” which is the exact opposite of the truth).
The war in Ukraine started on 20 February 2014, the first day of the 7-day coup. The U.S.-installed new leader of Ukraine sacked the existing three Deputy Defense Ministers, on March 5th, and replaced them with three rabidly anti-Russian neo-Nazis, who were committed to this bombing-policy in Donbass.
