      I still really absolutely never said a fucking thing about Russia. This is deflection mate. Pure and simple. All I did was refute your claim that Ukraine is democratic. By bringing up the very publicly available information that Ukraine itself provided regarding their non-democratic practices.

          You don’t “try” to be democratic. Either your people get a voice or they don’t. And when you ban your largest opposition party your people don’t get a voice. Simple as.

          And you accuse me of “cherry-picking” and using a “propaganda handbook” but wait’ll you read how fucking often the West has backed fascist and far-right governments under the guise of gaining “more democratic status” as you put it. That is the epitome of the propaganda handbook.

          Take a fucking look at literally ever nation post US-backed coups to see the exact same fucking lines, ending with the people suffering immensely in exchange for the military-industrial complex to ramp up sales, and for the resources of that nation to be ruthlessly exploited by wall street. A thing that is literally what is being promised for Ukraine.

          Honest to god. Read a fucking book.

              My take is that anyone who is on the same side as America in pretty much anything, while America is lapping up the blood like fucking water in the desert and slapping arms deals around left and right is a complete fucking muppet

                  Your obsession with getting me to try to say something in defense of Russia so you can confidently claim I’m a Russian troll or something is wild.

                  My entire conversation has been about Ukraine’s status as a non-democratic, far-right government whose people are being ruthlessly exploited by American businesses and fed into the maws of war so that wall street can profit.

                  If you cared about the people of Ukraine (the fucking people not the fascist government and the corporations they are stooges for) you wouldn’t spend your days online shilling US talking points designed to manufacture consent for continuing hostilities, while the threat of a looming winter energy crisis haunts Western Europe.

                  A looming energy crisis that would remind European citizens that this entirely manufactured war could be brought to an end through negotiations, something which would save lives in Russia, Ukraine, and Western Europe, but which would cost America money.

                  America hates to lose money however, and loves the business of war, so in order to make sure this conflict drags on as long as possible and as many people as possible die, they need to ensure that Western Europe doesn’t cave to energy demands and negotiate a deal with Russia, bringing an end to the war and re-opening the flow of gas.

                  Which brings us to the start of this thread: America has the most to gain from this sabotage.
