    not that i would die for fucking russia but its the lesser evil vs the us. i suppose its easier to see that if you are closely related to cia people.

    the us has done and and even admitted to stuff far worse than most out there. its not the biggest military budget in the world (of all time?) for nothing.

        ukraine is an US proxy to shoot at russia. the us is provoking and paying for the war to weaken russia.

        a win for russia is a loss for the west, which because of imperialism and colonialism, is a win for everyone else.

          But of course! Those poor Russians just had to do a whole invasion, entirely out of self defense!

            i didnt really put it that way, but kind of.

            the cia has been talking openly about provoking it since the mid to late 2000s. putin has also been saying he would take nato expansion as a sign of aggression. this war was completely avoidable.

            this talk of “evul russia” or “poor ukraine” is just propaganda to manufacture consent for spending billions on an useless war instead of addressing poverty or something useful, and people should stop believing it. this war is not about morals or being “good” or “evil” at all.
