The US invaded and occupied 2 countries on the pretext of terrorism and “weapons of mass destruction”.

Russia is seen as an invading force for attempting to protect Russian population in a country that borders its own.

If you’d asked me in 2012 if I supported dissolving NATO, I’d have called you crazy.

Ask me now…

If you ever asked me if I supported dissolving NATO I always would have said yes.

This made me laugh...

Despite Zelensky’s appeals, it appears that Biden is likely to skip his planned peace summit, apparently preferring to attend a fundraiser in California with celebrities including George Clooney and Julia Roberts.

probably best indication yet that US is checking out of the conflict

To be America's enemy is dangerous, to be it's ally is absolutely fatal.

Also round of applause to Zelensky who thinks the best way to get America to keep funding him is to talk shit about them hoping to shame them into supporting him. Clearly doesn't have a basic understanding of American politics. Can't shame them or try to make things be on your terms, best you can do is convince them it was their genius idea to help you.

Browbeating and shaming is the neoliberal way. He learned it from the best!

To be fair if I had the the choice between Zelensky and George Clooney I would go with Clooney as well. Clooney is a much better actor

Someone posted a screenshot of an article about some European political event. One picture included the politicians laughing and strolling down the street, and below that picture was one of Ukrainian soldiers deep in some mud carrying artillery

Isn't George Clooney's wife Amal part of the ICC investigation against Israel?

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 31 points 6 months ago

Lmao Zelenskys plan is still to hold a peace negotiation that doesn't include the person he's at war with, who has clearly stated their terms for a ceasefire.

"The war will end when putin fucks off back to russia" is still the deeply unserious position held by world leaders apparently.

I think we should send another reddit battalion

They mobilized a mod of r/Ukraine recently.

[-] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

A Russian victory in Ukraine would rewrite the map of Europe and present the continent with a threat not seen for more than 80 years. We must not forget this.

Weird. No one seems to care about the US rewriting the maps of Cuba to include Guantanamo in its territories.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 25 points 6 months ago

Or Syria where US occupies more territory than Russia is in Ukraine...

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 14 points 6 months ago

The US decided that Assad wasn’t the real president and entered the country and declared some rebel as the true government, therefore they never invaded anyone because the real government invited them lol.

Imagine if China and Russia recognized Trump as the actual president and occupied the US to fight against the illegitimate Biden junta.

Seriously...? You mean proportionally, right?

The western media is going through a worse cognitive dissonance than what I went through before coming out
