How Ukraine’s Fake Culture War Became a Real Geopolitical Conflict
Part one of a series where I try to figure out why Russia invaded Ukraine.
The outline for the series will go something like this
Part One: A history of Ukraine before the war, and how its incredibly Byzantine politics accidently sucked in its paranoid neighbor.
Part Two: A history of Russia’s war on Ukraine from 2014 to the escalation in 2022, and how it ended up sparking a new Cold War.
Part Three: A survey of all the popular theories of why Russia invaded Ukraine and why they’re wrong, and a history of American foreign policy in Eastern Europe, especially NATO expansion.
Part Four: The incredibly stupid and insane story of a fringe political sect and how it connects to both the war and a lot of other terrible things that have happened in the last 10 years.
