That they started by taking Crimea, exactly.
Apologists always want to go back to who really threw the first stone, as if Russia has been a great world citizen this whole time and as if imperialist invasion was a great way to reduce sanctions or increase economic cooperation
Are you saying who started the war isn't relevant? Why would you not want to determine this to have a full picture of the situation?
I'm saying if you go all the way back to who looked at who wrong in the lunch line in 1963, you can try to justify anyone invading anyone else's homes with tanks and missiles, but that doesn't make it an actual valid justification. Generally the party that "starts a war" is the one that rolls their tanks first.
