victory is around the corner guys, just a few more ten or hundred thousand young men through the meatgrinder for some dirt in donbass and you got this B)
remember when the mainstream media was calling for action AGAINST the ukranian regime for murdering civilians since 2014?
good times

https://twitter.com/mz_storymakers/status/1629436219556872193?t=8VOtSU_c1LJc2Vz513piZA&s=19that was when balanced opinions were still allowed, you could say russia has no business sending troops into ukraine AND call out ukranian nationalists murdering people
it's almost like it is STILL allowed to say nations should respect the desires of regional minorities (not astro-turfed rebellion by little green men though) and not oppress them politically or militarily, it's almost like it's STILL allowed to say that ukraine has a significant corruption problem, it's almost like it's STILL allowed to be concerned about ukrainian nationalists and neo-nazis, it's almost like literally NO ONE is thrown out of a window or poisoned for doing that...
it's almost as if honest people still DO acknowledge those things when they are brought up, and only hacks, who exclusively mention those things in order to make excuses for pootin's troops murdering ukrainians, are met with criticism and push-back (still not through open windows on high floors though), and the whole "
wE aRe nOt aLLoWeD tO cRiTiCisE uKrAiNe aNy LoNgEr" narrative is just a lie by dishonest propagandists.
it's ALMOST like context matters...
it's ALMOST like in reality those are still seen as legitimate concerns, but the overwhelming majority of intelligent people simply recognises that all of that pales in comparison with a FULL BLOWN MILITARY INVASION, KILLING TENS OF THOUSANDS, and does not pretend like any of that even remotely justifies the invasion - especially since most of those issues are even worse in russia itself, lol.
