    Because the West is hypocritical and selfish. You can’t seriously expect the world to support you against Russia when you just spent 20 years on a murder spree in the Middle East.

      USA was called “Great Satan” by Iran when Suleimani was assassinated. Russia called them an “Empire of Lies”. Turns out, these descriptions were always true.

      Century of The Self documentary is immensely valuable in these times for anyone who has not seen it.

    Countless dead Vietnam, Iraq, Afganistan, Libya, Syria…

    Many in Cuba impoverished by an unjust embargo…

    Do we need more examples? The West is extremely hypocritical.

            “Its a war bro, like Iraq”

            “Its a genocide and massacre bro, look Bucha satellite photos, do not talk about how they got debunked”

            “Bro Russia lowkey dropped nukes like Chernobyl”

            - average C14, Right Sektor, Azov supporter liberal and knows only what Western MIC MSM tells

            Because you are incapable of differentiating the civilian and infrastructure destruction between Russia’s op in Ukraine and USA’s op in Iraq, Libya, Syria and many other places.

            I doubt you are incapable, so I will just call it intellectual dishonesty.

              I think I simply don’t share your view that it takes violence/terror against civilians for a conflict to be labeled a war (at least that’s what your previous comment seems to imply, you may correct me at any time).

              I doubt you are incapable, so I will just call it intellectual dishonesty.

              Thanks, very nice from you, comrade :D

                It is okay not to share views, but what is true shows in real time. And neither of us can do much about it apart from watching from the sidelines.

                Also definitely you are not some comrade, so stick to your political lane.

  • What it’s really baffling is actually how the majority of westerners aren’t seeing this NATO/US - Russia with the same scope as the non-western countries, since this time is as obvious as the “Iraq has Weapons of Mass Destruction” thing in 2003.

    Guys, I know indoctrination is a hell of a drug, but damn, this has reached cult levels already.

      Westerners are majorly racists. The news media anchors, citizens, various publications make it very open. The refugees that were entering Poland also made it clear who was blocked, harassed and beaten up. All non whites.

          The amount of people who have made that phrase problematic is wrong on many levels. It is what Nazis and racists do. Nazis first tilted Hindu Swastika to a 45° on left and made it their symbol, now they are using Nordic mythology symbols as their own. They take common language and symbols and adopt them to grift into masses’ discussions.
