This is what you cheerleaders wanted. War is a brutal act. Should have worked instead for Ukraine to honor the Minsk agreements that the country had signed onto.
You do realize that very probably none of the war cheerleaders knew anything about Minsk until you mentioned it. Now they’ve heard the word “Minsk”, but know nothing else. In fact, they hardly know anything about the war at all. Worse, they don’t want to know because they like simple-minded, moralistic narratives neatly packaged for them by someone else. Of course, I’m talking about the actual freepers who’ve bought the Biden/Neocon propaganda, just like so many bought the Covid propaganda. But, I suspect some of posters supporting the administration are paid, sociopathic trolls.
