Nothing will come of it.
Separatists in Ukraine are fighting against Ukraine as they want to be back as a part of Russia
THe UN have been helping Ukrainians fight against the separatists through support in training, money and weapons so that the UN can set up bases in the Ukraine that bring them closer to Russia
Putin is pissed because he doesnt like the idea of the UN Using Ukraine to set up bases closer to his borders, so he supports the separatists.
Bost sides know that they are both wrong and right and as a result nothing much will come of it, unfortunately, outside of loss of Russian and Ukrainian lives.
UN Nations/ WEF will try to drive Russian stock down so that the wealthy in the UN can buy them up and have some control over the Russian economy, Putin will see it happening and will pull back his troops to prevent it.
Nothing more than a glorified shouting match.
Have you seen the news today? Putin has launched missiles and people are dying and there's an invasion taking place. That seems like more than nothing.
Seems to me Putin thinks this is 200 years ago and counties can operate like empires and just take over sovereign nations. For 20 years he's been saying Ukraine is part of Russia and not a real country. And lying to his people about how nasty Ukraine is and how they are the aggressors in order to drum up support. Now he's saying he's going to replace their leadership and install a new government in a country that's not his or Russia's. And killing people to do it.
That's a war. Not a shouting match.
That said, I shouldn't have even said this because yes we are ruining our nice fun TV music and movie thread lol.
