Seriously, we condemned Russia for invading Ukraine and have probably acknowledged that they most likely killed civilians while trying to bombard enemy positions, while also condemning Ukraine for lying for propaganda purposes, persecuting dissidents and political rivals, and using barrier troops to force men to fight instead of letting them flee the corrupt shithole.
Meanwhile, the regressive left and globalist conspirators aggressively and blindly defended Ukraine while intensifying the Russia bashing to the point where regressive leftist russophobia was documented to have escalated.
In all honesty, fuck everyone involved in this retarded conflict that could have been avoided with better diplomacy.
The only rational assessment anybody can make of the Ukraine situation is to admit that nobody has any idea what's going on on the ground, and that includes everyone who's actually there. That's the nature of war. Whatever anyone thinks of Russia's reasons for invading, or the role the West played in provoking them into it, none of that really matters now. I just don't want it spreading.
Absolutely. This doesn't stop the theorizing and speculation, though, as many of the following comments illustrate.
The worst thing about the war from my perspective is the unwillingness of the US to broker a peace negotiation. Nobody else is stepping in to do it either, probably under pressure from the US to stay out.
Why? My suspicion is that our deep state wants the longest possible war in order for US munitions corporations to sell the largest amount of weapons to the Ukrainians. How many billions have we shelled out to them already?
