None of that really matters when Russia is the one that is invading a foreign country and killing its citizens. Funny how all of you keep ignoring that or you just recite the Russian government propaganda.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (25 children)

It matters a whole lot actually because this a proxy war between NATO and Russia. NATO is just as responsible for what's happening, and in fact we now know that it was the west that intervened to stop negotiations in Istanbul that could've stopped the war back in 2022. Bleating about Russian propaganda isn't going to change the facts of the situation.

What I recite is what mainstream western media openly says now, and if you claim that's Russian propaganda then you're exposing yourself as a troll.

Russia invaded Ukraine. NATO didn't.

30% population of pre-SMO Ukraine was Russian. And a dicriminated minority. Who invaded whom is a matter of how well versed you are with one side of propaganda and how ignorant of the other.

Please provide evidence to the contrary then.

It's extremely easy to find tons of images of russian troops invading Ukraine.

I have yet to find any images of Ukraine invading Russia.

Russian side of propaganda is not too difficult to find, even in the English world. Why don't you do a google search by yourself and list 10 results of what you found ?

Why would I go out of my way to prove your point? Why would I ever look for Russian propaganda?

Your argument is yours to prove not mine.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You haven't substantiated your own assertion about NATO not invading Russia. It is your point at stake. I simply pointed you to an undeniable fact that torpedos your assertion, and pointed you to relevant literature, which you are refusing to look into.

Your point stands logically punctured. Feel free to flee.

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Lol. You can't just say without sources that NATO invaded Russia and then get mad when I deny it. That's like the people that claim that the earth is flat say that everyone else has to prove otherwise.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and you have none.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Flat eathers actually give what they think is evidenxe fir their claims.
Looks like you haven't actually read much there either.

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Lol, says the dude that gives no evidence.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Says the guy who needs no evidence for his beliefs.
