And once again I'm not supporting Russians in invading Ukraine. However, it's very important to acknowledge that the west is responsible for similar and far worse kinds of invasions. Yet, those never get the same coverage as Ukraine. Perhaps people in the west need to first learn how to hold their own governments accountable for the atrocities they commit.
Plus they are trying to prolong a pointless war that Ukraine can't win and where with every second it passes there's a bigger threat of nuclear annihilation.
We have a big influx of racists and imperial ghouls here lately.
I have a whole posse of trolls following me around now. I think we're headed for levels of hysteria not seen since the Cold War here. So, anything is definitely possible in the short term.
What's going to be interesting is how these people react when they become personally affected by all this. Right now, they're just playing a spectator sport thinking that it's only Ukrainians and Russians who are going to suffer.
Nah, i downvoted because the op appears to promote Russian imperialism and whataboutism, and that is a big red flag to me. I’m assuming most of the folks in here agree with the sentiment of this post, but the purpose of it is to pretend that Russian imperialism is fine because America does it? That’s absolute shit.
No, I think the purpose is to point out the hypocrisy of media coverage of different crises in the world based on the ethnicity (skin color) of the people involved.
