So now we're at the stage of the narrative where the USA is distancing itself from the actions in Ukraine and bad outcomes will be attributed to failures of the Ukrainians. This will lead to the next stage of the narrative where the US uses these failures as justification for unhitching their wagon from what's happening politically. The US will, of course, remain connected to the region through arms shipments, black ops, training, and intelligence, but the form will shift to a loose network of autonomous partisans, like Al-Qaeda.

The only narrative I see is you trying desperately to create one.

Right? I'm glad they could take a break from TikTok conspiracy videos and grace us with this gem of a take.

Don’t worry, Ukraine will be totally different from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and Vietnam. It’s those stupid tankies who are wrong, not the US corporate press which was never punished for lying about Iraq’s WMDs.

So we go from some form of convoluted and manufactured narrative to you pulling in world history because…?

And why are hexbear users always so aggressive and use arguments like a five year old would, i.e. grab any and anything to try and deflect?

Calling yourself ‘tankies’ is my basis to call you childish btw.

That instance hexbear is an absurd place and a poster child equivalence for trolls.

Is there any chance you can discuss something without throwing temper tantrums?

Have you heard of context? Did history begin with the Ukraine War?

Hatred of children is ageist.

Well, there it is, proof of the absurdity of the hexbear instance users. Took only a couple of minutes.

There is no context here, you are manufactoring one in your head, just like op did.

And the cherry on the absurdity cake? Calling me ageist. Desperately trying to stick a hate label on me, absurd.
Like I said, discussing with hexbear users is impossible and prone to land you in a world of temper tantrums.

I know. Fish don't know they're wet.

So you are a fish now? You are confusing and seem prone to self inflicted embarrassment.
