First time in my lifetime I've seen the US military might truly used for something good.
Me too. I've opposed every US war that occured in my 50 year life except this one.
when you're on the side of the US state department, you've done something wrong
Yup.
Before-the-events, did you think the same about Libya, Afghanistan, or Iraq?
Thanks for replying. This one made me think. I've written a longer response here, https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1022436, the start of which is not intended to be passive aggressive. I just wanted to frame it so as to deal with the issues rather than your personal interpretation.
No.
Why not? What's different about this one?
For one thing, this is a violent land grab. For another, this the effort and will of what... 50 countries? Vs about five: China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela. And those 50 countries are on average much more democratic than Russia and it's allies.
You've been brainwashed. The world stands with Russia on this and is opposed to America's war in Ukraine. The most provoked war in living memory.
The UN has consistently voted against Russia on this. There are a handful of authoritarian that back Russia but globally support for Ukraine is unparalleled.
These are mostly countries that are bullied into voting this way by the US. It doesn't reflect real sentiment.
No, the world really doesn't stand with Russia, if you have any understanding of international relations you would see that. Even the countries that have voted to support Russia are represented by relatively authoritarian governments.
And you're not suspicious at all, as to why that's the case?
Hold on just a minute while I base my worldview on YouTube....
