The war is continuing because Putin is continuing it. He could stop it tomorrow. He does not. Because he does not care how many million Russians or Ukrainians die. He simply does not care.
Anything else is just victim blaming and treating Ukrainians like little children who could not possibly have an opinion of their own.
Now that I think of it, is it maybe some kind of projection? Russians can't go to the toilet without first being told by the glorious leader what he thinks about it, so clearly Ukrainians must be the same?
Overthrowing a democratically elected government in a country to install a fascist regime that sacrifices the country for western interests is definitely a good analogy for rape.
Separated without a legitimate election, unlike the rest of Ukraine, yes. So there were several free elections in most of Ukraine since the revolution, and no free elections in Donbas.
Why would they not be able to get one? Are you suggesting Ukrainians are unable to govern themselves or hold free elections? Where is the proof of that?
Are you suggesting that Ukraine can not ever hold free elections after a coup, but Donbas can while under armed invasion of a foreign country?
