Yes, and you seemed very determined to go out of your way to say an invasion talk was just made up sh*t by the West.
Again I would like to state you even quoted a Russia official who denied an invasion was about to happen...and who obviously was found to be a liar.
So next time instead of making long worded post after long post

100% convinced of being in the right while saying almost everybody else is completely in the wrong...you should learn to keep your mouth closed instead of acting like a mindless lapdog.
Go back and read some of the long winded replies you have in this thread where you pulled every single crazy conspiracy idea you could think of to justify your view.
Wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Hope they aren't all as oblivious as your recent ones.
Russia is not the one who provoked the military operations in Ukraine. It is the West who has been moving it's military to Russia's doorstep. After having persevered for 30 years in trying to work with the West, Russia has reached the limit of it's patience.
Ukriane military ops' responsibility and cause lays squarely on the West. When it has blatantly disregarded and has been arrogantly dismissive about Russia's security concerns. It is the West who perpetrated the Maidan Revolt and transformed it into a bloodied coup. Nuland and McCain were there in Maidan in 2014. So there can be no one who can argue the case that the West is not complicit in Ukraine's acts of oppression against the People of Donetsk and Lugansk.
As history has shown, it is the West and not Russia nor China, who has expedited regime changes through war, or political lobbying or economic sanctions against other countries.
Russia would not have carried out military operations in Ukraine, if the West was not hell bent on pushing NATO at Russia's doorstep. Over the last 20 years or so, NATO has expanded, enveloping 14 nations into its fold. If NATO is a defensive alliance, then why has it been expanding? And now that NATO has expanded, whom has it do so, against?
It isn't Russia who had lied in the UNSC about WMD in Iraq, it was America. But people who are brainwashed, ignorant or have selective memory, do not seem to remember this.
The West attempted to play with fire when it provoked Russia. Now watch how the West gets burnt to the ground!
