The only "world power" (as laughable as it currently is) trying to "conquer" anything right now is Russia. Enough with this Kremlin-propaganda-parotting tankie crap.

Ok, so the US just routinely drops drone bombs on countries for fun?

Edit: What about the 2014 US lead coup to install their own puppet government in Ukraine??? Thats totally fine and has nothing to do with Russia's stance on the Ukraine situation?

Seems like you are the one who needs to take a step back from propaganda....

We can walk and chew gum. We can recognize problems with US imperialism, and problems with Russian imperialism.

And calling 2014 elections a "coup" is denying Ukrainians their agency. I've been to Ukraine, I've worked with Ukrainians, and I had visited Janukovych's former residence near Kyiv. A journalism conference is organized there every year these days. 2014 was the Ukrainian people showing the finger to Putin and his lackeys.

How would you explain Zelensky's open commentary regarding being entirely unable to do a thing without US approval prior to this conflict? To such an extent he was literally about to step down. Maybe I misunderstand the Presidential role, is it common for the leader of a country to need foreign approval before anything can be done?

Edit: spelling correction
