@tylnesh It's not a rant, I'm definitely not ranting. Most of what you've said to me is fueled by USA propaganda, and you seem to refuse to even acknowledge how there has been provocation promoted from the USA for many years (surely there's evidence of that from 2008 and 2014 in both links I placed). It's your choice to ignore them. I'm not on a mission to convince anyone, I'm just commenting on what I've read from reputable sources independent from both these mega powers.
