I do believe that the USA is the aggressor and affected the Ukrainian election.

I am not particularly upset about the crimean invasion, even though it was a war crime and act of aggression.

I am actually a fan of russia's work in syria, I do not believe Israel should be able to take over the whole region as they have been attempting to do. Nor do I believe in the right of israel to exist as a racist apartheid state, and the creation of israel historically was a brazen warcrime.

The United States is also committing war crimes by whatever it is doing in Syria, which is an act of aggression.

However ,there is a ton of evidence that Russians have infiltrated the american media, including steemit, and that they various russian oligarchs own Donald Trump. Meaning not only is he a horrible businessman, but he is a fraud and traitor.

My views regarding russia are complex because I believe it is a complex issue where both sides have done a lot of wrong, but I agree with Putin that all of the current problems go back to the refusal of the United States to enter into a peacetime posture after the fall of the berlin wall. And of course the expansion of nato, and the placement of bases.

My beliefs actually are about western civilization, I do not believe even russia or israel could stand alone against china without the united states. So both Russia and Israel need to begin acting like western nations, with freedom of speech, rejection of racism and rule of law/balance of power within their governments.

At the moment I have simply been in conflct with accounts/people/entities who clearly are not what they say they are. And anyone, including assange, who accepts the use of sock puppet/sybil accounts is ruining the internet and polluting to the world to a point where no one can believe anything.

So, it is not that any one person says any one thing that is pro russia, but what I am seeing on clarity's account, and a nest of others which I have recently blogged about, simply harp about how Trump isn't tied to russia, when it is a clear fact that he owes them a ton of money and his entire organization is half russian. And then the republicans/fox news who for decades demonized russia and then flipped on a dime in november 2016.

So there is plenty of blame to go around, but anyone actually interested in peace rather than picking a side and going loco, needs to be careful to maintain objectivity and distance from parties that clearly are not deserving of allegiance.
