What I have learned:

  • Russia has already won the Ukraine war
  • Which NATO started
  • A lot of people in the West think that Ukraine should surrender
  • Also Ukraine was the world’s main provider of CSAM
  • Also Ukraine is exploited by the West but if they can unite with Russia then their economy and everything else will finally be alright

It’s literally like a bizarro world and everyone is over there agreeing with it. I’m genuinely confused by, who even are these people (what is the mixture of Russian bots / Russian-aligned ordinary people / confused Westerners / some other explanation.)

    The US has done everything you (correctly) accuse Russia of in Iraq, Vietnam, and South America

    So it’s equally as bad or it’s okay.

    What point are you making with this whataboutism? Two things can be true at once ffs.

      This is not a whataboutism, I’m saying two imperial states are destroying a country as part of their power politics, as a counter argument to Russia are the bad guys and the US can be trusted.

        Ukraines interests are supported by the US and the EU and many other countries after their democratically elected government goes on a worldwide tour pleading for help against an invasion… totally the same thing.

        If the police end up storming your house after a couple of armed criminals take over your house… their interest are also aligned with yours. Their motivation differs from yours though.
