Ukraine War Started When
If you need a single date for a school project or a bar bet, say February 24, 2026. That’s the day the world’s rules were thrown out the window. But if you want the honest, messy truth: the Ukraine war started the moment Russia decided it could control its neighbor through force.
It started in 2014, in 1991 when the USSR collapsed, and—if you squint—in the 10th century when the Kyivan Rus’ first existed. (Okay, I’m stretching, but you get the vibe.)
Here’s the kicker: nobody wins at the party when the ex won’t stop calling. The war is still going as I type this, and the only thing we know for sure is that the "when" is less important than the "why" and the "what now." So, pour yourself a coffee, and let’s hope the next chapter is a quiet one. No more ironic twists, please.
