Nobody was talking about invading Ukraine before 2010, even in 2014 the idea about invasion was marginal: Crimea was something that wasn’t generally perceived as a part of Ukraine (bc reasons, don’t dive into it), while Donbass was washed as a separatist movement.
But there was also a significant piece of propaganda that demonized the new Ukrainian government, its people, and the whole premise of Ukraine’s existence. This propaganda was not a deliberate preparation for invasion, but a move that put the invasion card on Putin’s table as an option.
The very same is happening in the western media with the same methods used, like one discussed before. To have this option just in case they need to engage in a war with Russia.
I hate the US and Russia equally
As a Russian myself, I don’t. They are not equal at all: Russia is an established authoritarian state with imperialistic ambitions, while the US is a fully fledged imperialist with authoritarian ambitions. They both deserve hate, but for different aspects
Congratulations, you’re now the first user I’ve removed a tag from. For some reason, I must’ve thought you were shilling for russia a few months ago, but this comment proves I had you tagged wrong.
I don’t think you honestly care, but if I had a biscuit to give you, I would give you a biscuit.
