    I guess ignoring how Ukrainians ran the russian puppet heading their country out of the country

    A very euphemistic way to describe a coup. It’s amazing how much liberals start to sound like January 6th MAGA chuds as soon as it’s about a foreign country.

      Context and nuance sure are dead, arent they, folks? Those of you reading that dont have opinions bought and paid for by the russian govt, please look more into the euro maidan protests. The Ukrainian ppl overwhelmingly rejected russian interests running their country.

      It sickens me how much fascist deflection there is on online spaces. Take note that immediately the russian trolls/bots try to conflate any and all politics with trumpism in hopes of muddying political rhetoric in YOUR respective countries. Bc when u cant convince the proles to vote for trump/johnson/bolsonaro/orban/la pen, u can still convince them not to vote against them either.

      Very interesting how these efforts have been ramped up in time for election season in the most powerful nation on the planet. Stay sane folks.

      CW: “Foxes and Wolves” quote

      “The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the “smiling” fox.” – Malcolm X

      Republicans and Democrats descend from the same genetic ancestors: white supremacy and Amerikan exceptionalism. Still a dog, just built different between the two.
