I think what people also forget is that Russians are the largest ethnic minority in Ukraine. Almost 20% of the country identify as Russian, this is the largest single Russian community in the world outside of Russia. In most of the Eastern regions Russians make up the majority of the population. But i'm sure those in the West know better about the traditions, needs, wants and history of these people.

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.

No, the simple solution is NATO withdrawal. Russia is within its rights to defend itself from its sworn enemy NATO.

The immediate priority must be to stop the killing and not engage in meaningless finger pointing.
The only person who can do that is Putin, he could stop it immediately.
Maybe then they could agree to talks with no preconditions?

Withdrawal from Ukraine, sir.
Russia has been making its position clear for 10+ years in response to the lies told by James Baker and the Bush crown.
Why is everybody surprised that Russia finally took action?
The dark history of Ukraine was explored in Stone's "Ukraine On Fire", but now that bit of knowledge and information has been censored, too much truth.
Oliver Stone Criticizes “Mr. Putin’s Aggression In Ukraine” After Previously Saying There Was “No Proof” Russia Intended To Invade
deadline.com...
After the invasion, Stone — who had also criticized the media for using the term “invasion” to characterize Russia’s plans — came around.
“Although the United States has many wars of aggression on its conscience, it doesn’t justify Mr. Putin’s aggression in Ukraine. A dozen wrongs don’t make a right. Russia was wrong to invade.”
Withdrawal from Ukraine, sir.

And that makes you a military expert ?
Exactly what were you trying to prove ?
That I have done a lot of fighting and so I see things differently. RT wants to play the righteousness card here in suggesting over and over that Russia is saving the people of Ukraine from the Nazis. I don't see people parading in the streets cheering on the Russians in Ukraine do you? Russia has flexed their power, and so has America and other countries right back.
There really is no good guys here, never has been.....
Over 4 million Ukraines in the east were sure happy to see the Russian forces and they are hoping that the Ukrainian government won't be bombarding them with rockets as missiles anymore.
Another 2.5 million in Crimea were happy to see the Russian army and they are even happier now that they have fresh water flowing back in the Peninsula after the Ukrainian government denied them of water forb8 years, killed their crops and ruined all the farm land.
There are countless more Ukrainians happy to see the Russians they are just to scared to publicly show their appreciation.
Just because the American media pushes their agenda that nobody in Ukraine was happy to see the Russians, that's far from the truth. Do you notice all the American media only reports in the west? Where the views are anti Russian? You will never see the American media in the east talking to the people, you will never see them in Crimea anymore either, only in the west in the anti Russian areas.

The Americans helped the Ukrainian accomplices of the German Nazis to kill Soviet people (Ukrainians and Russians mainly).
I would like to know how the Americans feel about this.

I seen some interviews of before and after talking to locals in Crimea who were looking forward to Russian reunification, then when it happened, it sucked and they lost businesses as communities became militarized and all sorts of calamities.
You can assume if you're generalizing, you're most likely wrong and have been subjected to propaganda.
Put it this way
If Russia invaded the USA, there would be some in the USA that would be happy about this
(several seemingly on this website)
