Turned in the perception of Ukranians. The Azov movement was seen by many Ukranians for what they where.. right wing extremists they had no legitimacy. But when Russia invaded they fought the Russians tooth and nail, legitimizing them.

Biden articulated what Putin was saying himself. Joining NATO is the choice of a souverein nation and using that as an excuse for invasion is just that.. an excuse.

So no, I don't think I see it reversed. And what we are seeing unfold is clear. You claim to be anti imperialist but when Russia does it it's OK?

The war is horrible and can end with Russia withdrawing to within their own borders, but that won't happen as Putin will be punished by his "own" and replaced with someone else to do it.

I think you are turning around cause and effect. Fringe political extremist where turned into "heroic defenders of Ukraine the day little green men showed up to separate Crimea and the Donbas from Ukraine. If anything the Russian invasion have them legitimacy. It clearly says so in the links you provided.

Edit: And Putin stated Ukraine was not a country as early as the 90's even though the USSR fell apart and countries that where autonomous before, became independent again.

She had something that could be used against her, so it was a matter of time before someone used it.

Nah I'm good. It is typical that you use the CIA playbook. Immediately cast doubt and make counter accusations. I guess I shouldn't expect good faith.

You asserted that Chinese people are taught about this without any proof.

That which is asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. In other words, put up or sit down.

Also immediately implying that what people know that is not the official Chinese party line is misinfo seems to be straight from the Trump playbook.

And finally you refer to "a chinese friend" as an authority, you pulled a hattrick of fallacious conversation in that post.

Well, you can really zoom in on the individual, and decide. But if the person is in the military, or completely on the Russian government's dime, they are spokespeople for that government. That government is not welcome, by extension the athlestes are not welcome. The olympics should not be a platform for idols of the russian federation to gain a platform.

Natural gas .. Gaza. In the mean time less than a million dirt poor Guyanans are sitting on the worlds largest reserve. Getting in on that is way less of an issue for anyone.

You are drawing lines that are not there. Gaza is horrible enough without inventing nonsense around it.
