But that's a separate debate about the role of capitalism in modern society. It's surely up to the Ukrainian people to decide their own fate, under free and fair elections under the auspices of OSCE.
You should question, but won't, who exactly the lands are to liberated for. The answer is Corporate and Financial interests. It isn't the inhabitants of those regions that NATO want to "liberate", just the land and resources. Your post was in response to the above.
There is a separate debate about the role of capitalism, Steve, I agree with that. In this instance though that question is also central to the morality of arming and funding the continuation of the slaughter. It is only Russia who are offering self determination to the people of each region. The Ukraine regime have already sold the economic rights of resources and land to the likes of Blackrock. Free and fair elections are not on their agenda and they make no secret of this.
If your desire is free and fair elections then you are supporting the wrong side. The Ukrainians have openly stated this. Such as Kyrylo Budanov, Chief of Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ukraine MOD. His words reported below;
“The majority of the radical pro-Russian population, upon the arrival of Ukrainian units in Crimea through any form of advancement, be it offensive or otherwise, will promptly depart for the Russian Federation via the ferry crossing,” Budanov believes.
“No one will remain here.”
In response to inquiries regarding the crossing, Budanov dismissed the necessity of the Crimean Bridge.
“They will vacate this territory — they are not suicidal, believe me,” he said. Does that sound to you as if the intention is free and fair elections, Steve?
It sounds like a threat of genocide to me.
