    Over on r/Europe they were already calling for a nuclear holocaust of Russia. How can these people function knowing they keep being wrong?

      calling for nuclear holocaust, just to take their minds off their heating bill as a result of a conflict their governments don’t want to defy the US

        Worldnews is also like this. There are multiple posts about how it’s certainly Russia who did this, and all the LARPers are calling for war. Even in the post about Biden saying it’s unlikely you’ve got people blaming Russia.

        You’ve got people saying that it’s Russia’s fault because they invaded and if they never did that, Ukraine wouldn’t do this. It’s mental gymnastics of an Olympic level.

          Russia (and the soviet union before) have always been a target of hate and a scapegoat for the west.

          By the very same logic it’s Ukraine fault for Donbas war, and it’s USA fault for 2014 coup and it’s again USA fault for Cold War, etc etc till we arrive at that weird slimy creature crawling from the sea to land some billions years ago.
