• Excuse them, we usually hear “war” when it should be called “piracy”, “massacre”, “imperialist conquest”, “genocide”… Either way, this conflict is showing me that I would rather be attacked by Russia instead of any Western country and even my own country (we had a Civil War already), frankly.

        Because you are incapable of differentiating the civilian and infrastructure destruction between Russia’s op in Ukraine and USA’s op in Iraq, Libya, Syria and many other places.

        I doubt you are incapable, so I will just call it intellectual dishonesty.

          I think I simply don’t share your view that it takes violence/terror against civilians for a conflict to be labeled a war (at least that’s what your previous comment seems to imply, you may correct me at any time).

          I doubt you are incapable, so I will just call it intellectual dishonesty.

          Thanks, very nice from you, comrade :D

            It is okay not to share views, but what is true shows in real time. And neither of us can do much about it apart from watching from the sidelines.

            Also definitely you are not some comrade, so stick to your political lane.

        “Its a war bro, like Iraq”

        “Its a genocide and massacre bro, look Bucha satellite photos, do not talk about how they got debunked”

        “Bro Russia lowkey dropped nukes like Chernobyl”

        - average C14, Right Sektor, Azov supporter liberal and knows only what Western MIC MSM tells

                  25 Rules of Disinformation

                  Sidetrack Opponents with Name-Calling and Ridicule ~ This is also known as the primary ‘attack the messenger’ ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as ‘kooks’, ‘right-wing’, ‘liberal’, ‘left-wing’, ‘terrorists’, ‘conspiracy buffs’, ‘radicals’, ‘militia’, ‘racists’, ‘religious fanatics’, ‘sexual deviates’, and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.

                    So, who started with the implied lies, conflating Russia’s op in Ukraine with USA’s genocide and destruction in Iraq?
