Do you walk back your claim of Russians running over civilians with their tanks, as that incident was Ukrainian?? Everyone has a right to defend their homeland, but the narrative you push is extremely misleading, perhaps even outright false.
No need for personal attacks sweetie.
It is a disservice to critical free thinking to entertain your simple minded hypotheticals
without challenging the precedent of global destruction wrought upon the innocents of the bulk of the middle East and North Africa by the very same belligerents now accusing Russia of crimes against humanity after dismissing their attempts to repeatedly use diplomacy to have their grievances heard.

Even if the action is violent what’s the alternative available to him?
Russia took control of Crimea in February 2014. According to Ukrainian officials, the facilities of the Canal in Crimea were seized by the new de facto authorities in March 2014, who drove away the Ukrainian personnel. In the absence of maintenance on the Russian-controlled side, water could not reach the consumers. According to the Ukrainian Water Resource Agency, the Russian de facto authorities refused to pay for water delivery, accumulating a huge debt. Under such conditions, Ukraine blocked off the canal.

Your probably not getting an answer because your question is loaded.
By naming an aggressor you are emotionally loading your rather black and white question. Effectively setting up a peep who answers as either supporting your emotional knee jerk or condemning themselves in your eyes as on Putin’s ‘side’
There are alternatives to your solutions.
Either rephrase your query or open a little leeway to receive a more reasoned, less specific answer.
If you want any form of meaningful response that is.

LoL I'm not emotional about this, I'm being logical. It's a very simple question. If Putin invaded YOUR country would you fight back or submit to Putins rule. Explain what is loaded about this lmao.
The people in Ukraine are putting up a very good fight so that says a lot about the will of the citizens of Ukraine not wanting to be under the communist dictatorship rule of Putin. I don't blame them. I would be doing the same.

Something that is not been overlooked.
As the Russians moved in around Crimea. The Russian forces had destroyed a dam that was blocking water supply to Crimea.
Russian forces destroy blocking water supply to Crimea. Ukraine built dams on the canal after the referendum and 2014 "annexation"
There are likely things that Ukraine had done in the country that many of us we might not know in the west.
Russian troops blow up dam blocking water from Dnieper to Crimea. Crimea will get water again.
Crimea water dispute: Russia struggles to supply region
Yup as soon as Crimea voted to become a part of Russia the Ukraine immediately told their former citizens to "F off" and constructed Dams so the civilians and farmers would no longer have fresh water. This literally turned all the farm land into a barren desert and they could no longer grow crops and made it very hard for the Russian people to get drinking water as well extra DIV

I reluctantly agree with you.
I back the Ukrainian for the sake of it’s people. Putin is killing innocents

Where I have a problem is that fighting globalism is just as important as fighting communism.
We are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
All the issues that we fought against over the last few years have been swept under the rug and we’ve been forced to run back into mummy’s arms.
Genius on the globalist’s part. The UN, WEF, and Globalist agenda is moving forward at lighting speed and we’ve been hoodwinked into supporting and lending legitimacy to it.

callously running your neighbors over with tanks
Where you backing the Russian civilians when Ukraine was literally killing and dropping bombs on thousands of innocent Russian people in Donbass over the past several years
People's Republics (DPR and LPR, respectively), armed Russian separatist groups seized government building throughout the Donbas, leading to armed conflict with Ukrainian government forces.[30]
While the initial protests were largely native expressions of discontent with the new Ukrainian government, Russia took advantage of them to launch a co-ordinated political and military campaign against Ukraine.[31] Russian citizens led the separatist movement in Donetsk from April until August 2014, and were supported by volunteers and materiel from Russia.[32][33][34] As the conflict escalated in May 2014, Russia employed a "hybrid approach", deploying a combination of disinformation, irregular fighters, regular Russian troops, and conventional military support to destabilize the Donbas.[35][36]

Russia’s Supreme Court rules that the USSR did not invade Poland in 1939

The rulings are extraordinarily cynical. Whatever was said at Nuremberg, any genuine historian will confirm that the Soviet Union invaded what was then Poland on September 17, 1939.
To deny this is absurd when the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and its secret protocols which carved up Poland between the Soviet Union and Germany have long been in the public domain, and can be read about in any history book.

Are you talking about the Ukrainian armored vehicle that was recorded swerving across the road and crushing that Ukrainian car? The one the media were quick to falsely report as a Russian armored vehicle?

In the amount of time he's had, Putin could have annihilated The Ukraine and commenced the occupation of many countries which have made it their goal to remain a thorn in his side. The Baltic States are at the forefront of my mind, but Poland is a ripe candidate too. And, considering there's no manly armed force to oppose him, he could probably consolidate those gains quickly and shore up any effort to push back his new borders.
Hell ... for the life of me ... I can't understand why he has been so restrained. No one who knows what he's had to put up with could blame him.

Do you have actual evidence other than each side’s propaganda on who drove the Russian made armored vehicle?
