      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.
