Okay well by your logic, If Russia and Ukraine hadn't been separated by the destruction of the Soviet Union, the conditions for this war would never have been set, which means that actually America holds the blame for all the deaths in this war, in addition to the record number of deaths caused by the dissolution of the USSR. Not to mention all the Nazi sleeper cells we've left all over Europe to create just such a situation- ever hear of Operation Gladio?
Frankly, if youre going to argue that the government with more control of a situation is responsible for every death, a good-faith extrapolation of that belief would have you shouting death to America with your whole heart, because the world military hegemon is responsible for more deaths around the world every single week than the entirety of this meat grinder war. The normal conditions of Pax Americana are more wretchedly gore-soaked and evil than anything we are taught to pearl clutch and grandstand about when other countries do them.
So did we when we destroyed Iraq and Afghanistan and created ISIS. Why should the country that lied and did those things be trusted about the cause of the war now? The war started in 2014 with the US coup and the slaughter of ethnic russians by nazi militias that were later incorporated into the military. Im the eight days before the invasion, the shelling there increased manyfold while the US predicted an invasion on this day, no wait, I mean this day. We forced the invasion, we got the war we wanted, and now that an entire generation of Ukranians are in the ground and the military is black-bagging guys to the front lines, now that Blackrock is getting fat off the liquidated assets, now you libs are trying to cope with your buyer's remorse for a war you though would end in Moscow by christmas by braying about who's responsible. If you really care about knowing who's responsible, just count the new swimming pools in Langley.
TLDR Russia is taking it's most logical path forward in a no-win scenario that the US went to extraordinary, murderous lengths to orchestrate.
