    I guess Russia tricked Ukraine into killing thousands of eastern Ukrainians across several years, too.

        Ukraine has been under a civil war for the past 8 years, ever since the coup led by the US.

          Way to few know about this. A big part of the western narrative in Ukraine is that Russia is the aggressor. Biden said the ‘invasion is unprovoked’.

          We should have a thread where we could debate these thing and how to best counter it.

            It’s truly wild how much control western media has over people’s minds. You can find coverage of the civil war on every mainstream news outlet if you just search for “Ukraine” and exclude results from 2022. The west has reached the point where it doesn’t matter if they brazenly contradict themselves, they can beam press releases from the US department of state directly into people’s minds regardless.

            But yeah a masterpost on this would be useful.
