Ukrainian troops have been selling weapon systems to Donbass/Russia for a long time, probably since the start of the war in 2014. And this is obviously not allowed by the military leadership, but done by frontline units on their own. Sure the “actual price” is higher, but its not like they have a lot of buyers to choose from. And for the poorest country in Europe, thats a huge amount of money.
Inflation has nothing to do with the war, it already started much earlier. The main reason is that central banks are printing endless money for years now, and more money with same amount of products means things get more expensive. Sanctions also have an effect, but these were obviously not introduced by Russia.
One country lobbying politicians in another is definitely foreign meddling, and would be completely forbidden if Pakistan did it in the u.s. Where do you get the idea that China “bought” the Pakistani military? As far as I know, they are generally pro-us.
Who negotiated what in Afghanistan? The Taliban won the war and gained control of the state, it wasnt a matter of negotiation.
Guess your news didnt tell you about these guys. Or the 200 mercenaries that died in the rocket strike near Lviv.
They are doing it in other countries to avoid any controls. And specifically near Russia, because they are trying to develop biological weapons that would target only ethnic Russians. Its also worth noting that u.s. is the only country which does not permit independent checks of its biological labs, so the suspicion is more than warranted.
But the fascists who control Mariupol arent letting any civilians out. Even destroying bridges and pointing guns at civilians. And they dont inform civilians about the existing humanitarian corridor. You can hardly blame that on Russia.

So there are some explosions near or in a city. Thats no surprise, we are talking about a warzone after all. Besides, there is no indication who fired, or what was hit.
Here are some interesting pictures:

Sure i will just believe some random website called mediabiasfactcheck.com. Bet its funded by the u.s. government as well, and gives high ratings to propaganda rags like new york times.
First of all, it doesnt matter which side you or I want to win. And you seem to be under the impression that the war started last week, which is wrong. The war started in 2014, after the u.s. coup in kiev. Lugansk and Donetsk didnt accept that illegal change of government, and were attacked with tanks. Russia has since then demanded u.s. and nato to stand out of ukraine, but were ignored. Ukraine was about to start another offensive on Donbass, and threatened to acquire nuclear weapons (they still have know-how from soviet times).
In general you seem to make a lot of assumptions about me, but know very little about the conflict itself.
“Decisive air battle”, what a joker. Most Ukrainian planes, airports and air defenses were destroyed by standoff weapons in the first hours of the war. Russia has air superiority since multiple days now. Of couse thats ignoring the ghost of kiev, who shoots down a dozen Russian planes every day lmao.
Which city specifically? Is there video evidence? I have seen plenty of videos of Russian troops, and they are completely ignoring civilians. You can see for yourself, on telegram search “intel slava z”. Also there is lots of evidence of Ukranian military setting up artillery next to schools, or hiding in civilian buildings. Clearly to provoke these images of Russian attacks on civilian targets. By the way, Russia is giving out food at this point, Ukrainians are looting and shooting each other.
These weather balloons fly very high so a missile is about the only way to reach it. And you can be sure that the US government will never admit that it was a weather balloon, because then it would be obvious that they are lying.
