- As Russia’s special military operation reaches the one year mark, we wonder what is happening now and what will happen next;

- Equally important is what started this conflict;

- NATO has repeatedly attacked and destroyed allies of Russia around the globe throughout the 21st century;

- NATO has also constantly encroached eastward toward Russia’s borders;

- The Western media admits that the US has repeatedly overthrown nations along Russia’s borders and installed client regimes in their place;

- The Western media also admits that these nations pose a threat to Russia including Georgia which in 2008 actually attacked Russian forces;

- Ukraine from 2014 onward was a repeat of US meddling in Georgia that left Russia with only one choice, not if conflict would come but when it would be fought? At a time convenient for NATO or for Russia?

- The US is pursuing a similar campaign of encroachment, encirclement, and proxy war with China giving Beijing every reason to support Russia in its current operations in Ukraine;
