you have not owned anyone in your entire life fenderp
i was definitely wrong there and i made that statement before i took an actual look into the geopolitics around ukraine, shit happens
you can make a REEEEEEE list as many times as you want, the west danced on the nose of the russian bear until it snapped
i did not expect putin to get triggered, as i said, but in hindsight the failure to prevent this becomes worse every time i think about it
and thats why i reject the notion of taking sides fender, because thats what caused this conflict in the first place
what a load of bullcrap, ampootin.
first of all, you owned yourself with those posts. i didn't have to do anything but quote you. xD
secondly, the ukrainian people deciding (voting / rebelling / making their voices heard unmistakably) to align with the west, looking for prosperity and freedom, rather than commit to russian authoritarianism, censorship, and poverty is THEIR choice. even the moronic "it was all a coup by the west" narrative implodes when you just look at what they are sacrificing to fight back the overwhelming invading force. there is not a shred of doubt that they reject the russian invaders.
ukraine is not russia. the soviet union does not exist any more. trying to mislabel THEIR choice as "the west dancing on the nose of the russian bear" (lol) is dumb and does not reflect what actually happened.
and no, "taking sides" did NOT cause the conflict (not that anyone here is fooled about which side YOU took, constantly trying to justify russia's invasion by uncritically regurgitating kremlin propaganda like the NPC that you are) - what caused it was pootin's blind ambition, his desire to conquer land that simply doesn't belong to russia. the "taking sides" came AFTER that - and only truly despicable pieces of scum took russia's side, the side of murdering women and children, the side of destroying a whole country in order to conquer it.
