Ukraine has been played pretty well by both russia and the US. Even zelensky seems fishy at times.

Heh, Lol. Yeah, I found the site too, Russian site, whining about Ukrainian Neo-Nazis and parroting the conspiracy theory that America has biolabs in Ukraine to use against Russia. So yeah, garbage source. |
Every country has a minority neo-nazi population.
If people are so worried about them then surely in 2022 there are at least 10 better ways to deal with the problem then invade a country.

Putin doesn't even believe that, he just knows he has a better chance at manipulating his own population by accusing the Ukrainians of being Nazis. Putin just wants Russia to be restored to a great power like USSR and wants to be known like Catherine the Great, but his actions make him look more like Ivan the Terrible.

Agree hence why my comment. Pretty weak excuse to go to war. Can't believe people believe it.
Ahh I see, now they just start to abduct every mayor and replace them. Start to tell everyone in these cities that protesting is extremism and that everyone has to give his weapon away. They will go from house to house and control everyone.
Something which mostly works in Russia and Belarus surely works in Ukraine as well I guess.
That's the so called freedom Putin is talking about. You are free to kiss his feet

Countries like Russia, North Korea, Iran, and now China have had their populations brainwashed for decades. Brainwashed people do things we can't understand. The Russian mom who refused to believe what her own daughter was describing in Ukraine, that she witnessed with her own eyes, is a sample that I'm sure could be applied to many Russians. If you believe the state over your own adult kids, that's a level of brainwashing we can't even fathom in free-thinking nations.

That mayor who has been illegally installed in the position as a Russian puppet needs to be charged with treason by the Ukrainian authorities as soon as they are able to liberate the area. Same goes for any other political collaborators.
Also the irony of her trying to pass it of as a "committee of the people's chosen ones" given the local populace are going to have zero say in the matter.

Ok, Syrians I can understand the logic. Serbians, not so much as they haven't fought a war in 20 years. Nagorno-Karabakh (also known as Artsakh) is very strange. I’m assuming they mean the ethnic Armenians and not the Russians stationed there as peace-keepers. They fought a war 18 months ago and got creamed. Not great experience and seems they are ineffective. One of the big takeaways was they used poor and out-dated tactics, similar to Russia now. Are they just being thrown there as cannon-fodder so Putin doesn't have to use his own soldiers?

My tone is harsh but I've been following this very closely for days now and a lot of what I've seen disgusts me, the child screaming at the bomb being dropped near his home, the father crying and hugging his daughter as he sends her away, senseless deaths and destruction, the Ukraine citizens don't want this, the Russian citizens don't want this, make no mistake, this is Putin's war, only that lunatic wants this war, his government are clearly terrified of him, his citizens are terrified of him and it isn't their fault either, even the soldiers of Russia are being pointlessly sent to their deaths, young soldiers. So if I see you rushing in to say "WEST BAD" when there is very clearly only one true aggressor here, only one country invading another, only one killing hundreds/thousands and for what? Cause Putin feels nostalgic about USSR and wants some sort of legacy? The fucker barely mentioned NATO in his rant about Ukraine's right to exist, if you jump in to take a bullet for Russia then you're a lost cause, go to some deep-web Pro-Putin circle-jerk, I don't want to see that shit in here. The only evil here is Putin and we should focus on that but also showing our support to Ukraine and Russians that don't support this war. |
The only evil here is Putin? RIDICULOUS.
You followed the news closely for days and you now you think you know the truth, cute.
The only reason the media cares about Ukrainians is because the invader here is Russia. No ones gives two shits about the Yemenis living in absolute dire states for almost a decade now bombarded by the Saudis who are emboldened, armed and guided by the West. Yemenis got their two minutes in the sun when Biden promised to do something (to help his campaign image no more). Forget about the invasion of Iraq which the west was totally behind and the disasters that brought to the Middle East, and forget about murkier areas of conflicts like Palestine that's been ongoing since forever.
You can absolutely say the west is bad while also acknowledging that Putin is bad as well.
I am glad the invasion is getting the global resistance it's getting, but I am not kidding myself for a second that the governments of the west are doing this out of the kindness of their hearts. I don't know what countries like Yemen need to get similar attention, find oil wells or maybe be less brown?
The fact that the media is capable of covering the Ukrainian invasion justly and objectively is just further damning evidence that similar conflicts get ignored because they're convenient for the west foreign policies. It isn't a bad time to point this out, it isn't a "pro-Putin" to highlight this, and it isn't whataboutism.
Drop your juvenile binary goggles and take the opportunity to highlight to Biden while his response to Russia is appropriate, he should extend it to other countries even of those countries are allies.
