It's crazy how we all feel like we know what's going on, at least to some degree. I find it funny how we choose when to trust/distrust the media. I would wager that the general public (and even more informed folks) probably have no idea what the real reasons for these large scale conflicts are. History shows that the context in which these events begin is usually just BS, and the truth gets uncovered years later. I'm trying to see someone grind a tank gun though, I know that much. FS or BS smith with a solid pop out would be ideal. Just need to build the right ramp for the side of a tank.
War happened cos NATO, an obsolete organization founded by nazis and rabid anti communists, kept pushing russia towards the red line Putin clearly and firmly drew for like the past 20 years. As an added bonus, if the US gets their way, and they will because the EU are liberal pansies whose sole purpose is for "muh free market", they get to sell their expensive gas at a premium to europeans. So basically, another wrestle between two imperialist forces, and the working class stuck in the middle or suffering from the resulting price hikes; literally every fucking guy involved in this conflict is rotten to the core and civilians will pay the price.
I get that the west isn’t perfect, but your getting very “but both sides” and implying the west and the country that literally decided to do this as the same when… only Russia decided to invade. Very sus
I'm just putting context where it needs to be though, fact is, this conflict was literally provoqued by the US
ever since Clinton approved Putin to succeed Yeltsin in 93 https://www.rferl.org/a/putin-s-a-solid-man-declassified-memos-offer-window-into-yeltsin-clinton-relationship/29462317.htmlNot to mention they also funded and supported the far right coup of 2014, and put a literal comedian in charge (foreshadowing
). I'm not supporting Russia or Putin, you can check my post history I made this very clear every time I wrote about the war in relevant threads, I'm just sick of people comparing Putin to Hitler or begging the US to get involved or clowns comparing an actual war where civilians are getting killed in a wrestling match between two right wing nationalist regimes to a Marvel capeshit movie. Call me an asshole but Putin has been saying the same thing for the past 15 years,
don't cross my line or I will reply accordingly, the reality is the US benefits from Russia invading, and did everything to push Putin into action. So yes, both sides
are equally terrible and cynical.
