    I’m not Canadian, I can’t help being born in a NATO country, and I am firmly against my country’s decision to help the US.

    You, on the other hand, can choose to look at what’s really happening in Ukraine and realise that maybe - just maybe - Russia is the bad guy.

      Wowzers, so you’re just sitting at the nazi bar then? I wonder where I have heard the one before! 😁

      can choose to look at what’s really happening in Ukraine

      I did whats really happening in ukraine is that the empire installed an illegitimate nazi proxy gov in 2014 that has proceeded to genocide ethnic Russian-ukrainians and the empire used them to springboard their proxy war against russia

      What you think you know about the Ukraine war is nothing but manufactured consent

        I resent the idea that I’m sitting at the nazi bar. A more accurate metaphor would be that I am in a nazi town that I cannot yet leave, and that every other town for miles is in a similar situation.

        I am well aware of manufactured consent. This is happening, but not in the way you think. The idea of a genocide against Russian-Ukrainians is a lie being told by Putin and his government in order to manufacture consent for the invasion and annexation of Ukraine.

        Putin’s government is what I would consider fascist. It is widely known to be authoritarian, anti-communist, homophobic, and nationalist.

        Looking briefly at Ukrainian political history, it seems that Yanukovych (the president from 2010–2014) was also a lot closer to being a nazi than Poroshenko or Zelenskyy, based on his supression of the media, cronyism, corruption, concentration of power, corporate raiding, and supression of the masses.

        Why do you say that Poroshenko’s government was a “nazi proxy gov(ernment)”?
