Weird how westoids always think the worlds geopolitical struggles are centered on them, but then deny that their countries sending weapons to Neo-Nazi extremist and supporting a Far-right coup in a country is responsible for creating the material conditions for the war to happen.

But yeah, I guess it’s Will Smith’s fault Ukraine is going to lose because he distracted Americans from Thinking and Praying hard enough. Also, Zelensky is personally counting the number of Ukrainian flags in people’s bios, and if it goes below a certain threshold, that’s the deciding factor in whether he sues for peace or not.

Utter fucking Brainworms.

    It’s amazing how they happen to say something very close to the truth with regards of how the Afghanistan, Palestine or Syria conflicts and the concentration camps where they keep immigrants are easily ignored and deemed boring by libs after a while… besides blatant racism ofc.

      It’s all just entertainment to them. Politics is just a way for libs to cultivate their identity and virtue signal to others.

        Because all the wars and suffering are happening over there. I would go as far as to argue that the visceral reaction of EU to the “migrant crisis” in 2015 was born not so much out of sheer racism, but rather because it “brought the problems” to their doorstep. Even the war in Ukraine is basically watching a twitch stream of CoD to them. Hence the idiotic memes like the “ghost of Kiev”. It’s all just a game, a game that is happening far away.

    Yeah, people really drink the Liberal kool-aid that they’re saving the world by tweeting their support for “current thing”. That Redditor is talking like he’s some hard-fought, downtrodden hero who’s disheartened about the average person’s fickleness when it comes to justice, but it’s Reddit.

    What is the context of this? I don’t see where they are saying “Ukraine is losing because Will Smith…”
    On its own, everything they’re saying is correct. The Will Smith drama is fake performance for ratings and it comes at the exact time word gets out about Russian POWs being tortured.

      “In the absence of popular support Ukraine may need to sue for peace”

      This implies that because popular support is dwindling, that that’s the reason Ukraine is going to lose.

      He’s right that Westwoids are easily distracted. But what they imply, is incorrect. Ukraine isn’t going to give up because there’s less western popular support. They’ll give up because Russia is winning and the western government material support would never be enough.

      Will Smith Oscar drama wouldn’t have stopped people from dismissing Ukrainian warcrimes. It’s already been dismissed as Russian misinformation. Even when Ukrainian accounts put out the videos of the warcrimes themselves. The brainwashing is so complete they don’t need a distraction.

      Also the context of this comment is a Reddit front page World News post about Russia repositioning forces near Kiev.
