I’m mostly asking on behalf of a comrade who is somewhat new to leftism. My own knowledge is only surface level, which is why I’m turning to Hexbear.

Could I get a rundown of the reasons for the conflict, for someone who only knows the basic Western position of “Russia bad” ? I’m not trying to say modern Russia is good, but there are reasons for this conflict, and it’s much more nuanced than how it’s presented in Western media, correct?

Any input from fellow Hexbears, sources, etc., is welcome. I truly appreciate the help.

    Glad this is so easily answered nowadays. Sure ideally Russia would figure out how to work with its neighbors in spite of NATO’s covert & overt actions, but ideally the ruling class of the US & NATO wouldn’t be insane neoconservatives lying to themselves to justify their weapon contracts’ dividends.
