If those ethnic Russians are being oppressed and targeted in those regions as some reporting suggests would you then consider the invasion as merited?

But to be honest, our government in it's present state, is no better than that of the USSR. And Russia knows the truth of this condition better than we do, generally.

I know I'm being guilty of repeating myself over and over again here but Putin is the person who ordered this invasion and he is the one man who could put an immediate stop to the killing - but he chooses not to.
That is down to Putin and no-one else.

He has also threaten other nations and threaten nuclear war if he doesn't get his way. As you said, instead of bank rolling a proxy war for 8 years, maybe put it to the world community instead. People are talking about Russians dying in the east and once again it is Putin driving that bus, the fighting would stop if he stops. How can anyone sit here and see Putin bank roll mercs to fight in the east for 8 years and just say oh those damn Nazis in Ukraine.
Even during WWII the Russians were allies,....
A government that no longer exists.
But to be honest, our government in it's present state, is no better than that of the USSR.
If Russia invaded the USA, there would be some in the USA that would be happy about this
If people were allowed to know the truth, maybe so, maybe so....

He has borrowed so much from the Nazi's playbook.

There is too much disinformation and suppressed information for me to take a side either way.
That being said, there is a simple way to end this war, Russia withdraws.

I noticed that I'm the one post on the first page you didn't respond to.
Am I wrong?
If Russia withdraws, the conflict would be over, right?

No, the simple solution is NATO withdrawal. Russia is within its rights to defend itself from its sworn enemy NATO.
This invasion could have been prevented by honest and respectful diplomacy on the part of the NATO group, but they were not interested in honest and respectful diplomacy. They are unable to conduct such negotiations.

And Russia is free to destroy threatening enemies on its border. Indeed, for the people of Donbass, Russia is obliged to destroy threatening enemies on its borders.
