I’ve gotta be frank, as Americans we look like the most gullible, propagandized, simpleton sheep on the planet when people say shyt like this. Yes, the war in Ukraine is horrible but the standard has been set by the standard bearers in Washington and we have been convinced that this is the only way to conduct business. Why the fukk is Putin or any other leader beholden to international law? The main ones preaching the shyt don’t follow it.
For Americans, it’s totally normalized for our govt to overthrow countless govts and prop up horrible regimes that support their interests. So if geopolitics is to remain in this type of ignorance then what’s stopping Putin from playing that same game? Or China? Since these are our boogeymen. So long as we feel that the things our govt does around the world is excused by our need for safety (which we wouldn’t need if said govt didn’t spend so much time spreading violence and poverty around the globe) then you’ll see instances like Ukraine. Seriously, how can any of us feel comfortable enough to sit on a high horse when our tax dollars are being used for the ugliest form of geopolitical bullying the world has ever seen. It’s pretty disgusting.
