I love how some of the imbeciles in this thread are eating up the west narration of Ukrainian citizens overtaking the Russian army or are providing some level of competent resistance against Russian forces.
The west and their colonial arrogance never ceases to amaze considering the hell that they have done on this Earth and are now trying to use a moral rhetoric against Putin.
The irony and the sheep who are reposting these hot takes on social media are the worst type of humans.
Colonial amnesia is what you're suffering from.
I definitely don’t disagree with pointing out the West’s own criminality but despite the messenger having dirt on their hands doesn’t change the accuracy of the message itself.
Right now, we can only go by verifiable sources but what’s clear is that this isn’t going like Russia thought it would given the supposed advantages. Maybe if they did this in 2014 during the Maidan protests like how they went into Belarus and helped Lukashenko maintain power it would’ve worked but 8 years of a Russian backed separatist war is going to spur patriotism and nationalism amongst Ukrainians you gotta admit that. Plus, the whole Maidan protest was fueled by growing anti-Russian sentiment which they linked to their country being corrupt and underdeveloped compared to other European counterparts.
But I’m with you, I don’t like being spoon fed Western narratives because I saw first hand how fukkin dangerous that can be to be a blind believer. It’s best to hear both sides and come to a conclusion. America is a far bigger goon than Russia could ever hope to be and that’s with a several hundred year head start. But that doesn’t mean that Russia isn’t the criminal of the moment right now.
