I hope I don't get castrated for this by everyone here but I'm genuinely curious so I'm going to ask. For coxtext, I'm a dirty commie removed hippie dick suckin left wing lib (not a meme, I am literally a Liberal Democrat). Now that that's out of the way, I'd like to ask someone who disagrees with me why they think that supporting Ukraine is a bad move? The way I see it, the longer this war goes on, the weaker Russia gets. Sure it's costing the US (and other countries) a lot of money and resources but we are essentially weakining a not-so-friendly country of ours without having to send our own troops to fight it. Why is this a bad thing? Should I not care if Russia gets more powerful than it already is? Am I removed?

The ethnic Russian population in eastern Uktain have been shelled by artilley, aimed at them by Aziv Nazis for the last 8 years.

At this point if Ukraine gained back the DPR it would almost certainly result in an ethnic cleansing.

I'm dumbass yt gringette living in imperial core and technically a neutral party to the whole war debate thing and also haven't been paying attention about any of this ,but I accidentally read all this shit I didn't want to read and I'm somewhat technically ethnically Russian and just want to follow up with a quick question.

Is there a list or map of international consensus for which countries agree/disagree on the narrative(s) established on my quoted items? I just want to look at some cool maps.

I'm not sure a map is needed. During the time it was happening, it was reported as fact.

If you click tools in Google, you can filter search results by year. There's plenty of reporting of it from around the world from 2014 - 2019. The narrative just suddenly shifts in the west in 2020.

Eh... At least he's being honest and arguing in good faith (from what I saw)

I thought so too, but then: https://hexbear.net/comment/3738317

Well, it's a good thing from my perspective because I'm an American, I want my country to be powerful.

He IS being honest though. He's a nationalist who wants to harm anyone his government tells him is an enemy.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
