      That’s what I was thinking. Pretty much what I would expect them to say publicly. Who knows what they actually think…you don’t find it in the news, that’s for sure.

        Well, the US gave Ukraine about $400million in aid three days ago, probably planning to send more soon. That’s how you know what they really think.

        The US doesn’t support the attacks just like Russia is fighting Nazis. The equipment just fell off the truck, and all of our people take long smoke breaks, while being a smoke free force.

          People like that think this is a gotcha because they assume you think the same way as them. Picking a team and defending anything they do regardless of whether it makes sense. We can criticise the U.S and Russia, it doesn’t detract from the fucking horrible shit Russia is doing and must be called out on.

            Exactly. This isn’t the gotcha they think it is. One can be clear eyed and critical about countries on multiple sides of global conflicts.

        USA America shouldn’t have invaded them either.

        ETA: Corrected ‘America’ to ‘USA’. Thanks to @Ignacio for correcting me.

          And they have done so, multiple times, unchecked.

          And nobody held them accountable. Lmao.

            The world should have. World leaders and global organizations charged with ensuring global peace and security keep failing at their job. It is is a major reason why we see a rise in conflicts the world over.

        Correct. Although Afghanistan was fairly justified but the end result was 20 years of death.

        That’s ok because the US needed to denazify them. Oh I mean to get rid of WMDs, communists, and al Qaeda. The USA only use the nefarious propaganda for good, just ask them.

    Exactly why they handed out cluster bombs. They’re great for self-defence.
