    Yes, I don’t have the simplistic thinking of the western mouthpieces.
    He is simply the lesser evil, and that’s not hard when the other side is the worstt imperial aggressive country to ever exist.

      Worse than imperial China? The Mongols? Alexander the Great? The Dutch and Dutch East India Company? The British? The French? The Spanish?

      There is no “lesser evil.” There are assholes in charge who kill and enslave people just living their lives. There are rulers and enforcers who work together to trick the public en masse that any one of them is better than another. When at its core, owning and harming others is inherently wrong with no middle ground and benevolent slavers are still slavers.

      Just like it isn’t the Russian people who want war or want to fight in war, it is Putin and the wealthy who want it, to kill their own men and to thin the herd. They can then take their money and stuff after they die. It’s not just about what they gain from Ukraine, it’s also about an attack on their own people.

            You write the most insane stuff and you expect me to engage with that?
            You’re some political illiterate US lib.
            Zero understanding of history or geopolitics.
            And with the pretentiousness of an american you think you know what the Russian people think or want.
            “they are made to go to the meatgrinder for evil Pootin!”
            Simplistic and pathetic statements.
            Only worthy of ridicule, which I sometimes enjoy.
            Stick to commenting on games, smash burgers or whatever it is you peasants do, but geopolitics is not for you.

            Take your own advice and…
            “go to Bluesky” LOL
