(3,317 posts)that Russian troops have crossed the border to Ukraine and participated in hostilities?
Or are you referring to the only "proof" presented, dark spots on the ground on the Russian side allegedly indicating that rockets were fired?
I don't think anybody said that "Russians would never do anything nefarious like the evil Americans." That must be something you have made up in your own head. No, they act according to their interests, just like the US do. Except Russia is relatively weak and still struggles not to be fragmented, marginalized and taken over. Or, worst case scenario but obviously no longer unthinkable, attacked and destroyed.
The recent elections in Ukraine were presidential elections, BTW, there were no recent elections that established a majority for the "government" in Parliament, which currently consists of Neoliberals and Neonazis. On the contrary, that government has just stepped down to make way for new elections. But these will take place only after some parties have been outlawed or otherwise repressed, to make sure the coup leaders prevail.
