    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.

        It is not exactly a war though. You want to see a true invasion and war? Go look at Iraq or 2011 Libya or 2015 Syria.

          Soldiers of Russia enter Ukraine and kill Ukrainian soliders. How would you call it if not war?

            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.

            “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”
