people also forget that ukraine first began terror operations in 2014 against the innocent civilians of donbas who requested more autonomy. its always convenient that history always starts whenever it is most satisfactory for liberals
Yeah, to be honest, a lot of things were not reported or reported wrongly by the media... there's at least 2 sides to 1 story, but seing as how Putin was close to Trump, plus the fact that Russia was always portraied as the villan in the cold war, it's understandable why things were not reported correctly and not every fact was layed out.
For the record, I'm not pro one side or the other. Just saying that things are not always as they seem.
the prevailing opinion on hexbear is that we care about the citizens of donbas and the normal people that were drawn into this insane death spiral by the west. we generally dont support the governments of russia (some do critically support russia on very specific terms) or ukraine for a variety of reasons, but our primary point is to oppose the american military industrial complex.
It's pointless... at least in my mind... oposing that is, the military industrial complex, doesn't matter which country it belongs to.
We have a saying around here: сила бога не моли. Litelarly translated it means power doesn't ask anything from god. Basically, this applies to everything in life. If you're powerful enough, you don't ask anyone for anything, even aproval... it's just how things are 🤷.
