Yeah ‘cause russia’s never pulled false-flag stunts, like the Moscow theater attack, Beslan school massacre, downing MH17, etc. etc.
Most people who are rational aren’t giving Russia a pass. They also aren’t buying the Ukraine propaganda.
We can’t just forget the videos of McCain and Graham, purposely whipping up Uke soldiers to attack Russia over the years. We know there has been a lot of provocation by western leaders to get this war going. We also can’t ignore the horrible treatment Russians in Ukraine have been dealt by their own government. Zelensky promised to fix that, but he didn’t and it is not hard to guess why.
We also know it was entirely not necessary because their were attempts by many to resolve the issues without war. The west urged Zelensky to ignore any attempts to solve the issues.
Who wins or who loses is irrelevant and certainly should be none of our business because we have grave issues needing attention in the US. We are in no way financially able to keep shoveling billions to a country across the globe that is none of our business except for the corrupt politicians using that place as a playground for wrongdoing and global domination.
