mainstream western treatment of the war and just how much it seems to have forgotten that war is hell.

What an incredibly Seppo take. Yes, we know, you don't know shit about war. But you didn't forget that war is hell: You never knew it in the first place. Your cities didn't get bombed, you're not halting construction sites and evacuate a couple of kilometre radius because yet another dud was found which has to be disposed of first.

War, for you, is something soldiers do abroad. Not something a people is subjected to at home.

Europe does remember, and that's precisely why we're backing Ukraine.

Are you backing Ukraine the same way the US backed Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war?

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

No. It's like supporting Finland in the Winter war.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

So you intend to cede Ukrainian land to Russia after the end of the war?

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Had Finland had more support there would have been no need for that kind of bullshit.

Don’t know what a Seppo is, sorry. Also not talking about whether one should or shouldn’t back Ukraine. And just talking about media coverage. No need to get aggressive, IMO.

You were talking about US media coverage, at the utmost Anglo media coverage, and equated it with western.
