It's just something the US has to say to avoid World War 3.
That's what I was thinking. Pretty much what I would expect them to say publicly. Who knows what they actually think...you don't find it in the news, that's for sure.
The US doesn't support the attacks just like Russia is fighting Nazis. The equipment just fell off the truck, and all of our people take long smoke breaks, while being a smoke free force.
Well, the US gave Ukraine about $400million in aid three days ago, probably planning to send more soon. That's how you know what they really think.
Thanks, that makes a lot of sense
Bingo. "do not back" doesn’t mean "don’t".
Maybe don't invade a sovereign nation? 🤷
Like muricans did to Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan and co?
Yes.
People like that think this is a gotcha because they assume you think the same way as them. Picking a team and defending anything they do regardless of whether it makes sense. We can criticise the U.S and Russia, it doesn't detract from the fucking horrible shit Russia is doing and must be called out on.
USA
Americashouldn't have invaded them either.ETA: Corrected 'America' to 'USA'. Thanks to @Ignacio for correcting me.
America did not invade any nation. Those nations were invaded only by the US.
You are right, its the USA's doing and I should not conflat one country with all the nations in America. I'm sorry. I'll correct my mistake pronto.
And they have done so, multiple times, unchecked.
And nobody held them accountable. Lmao.
The world should have. World leaders and global organizations charged with ensuring global peace and security keep failing at their job. It is is a major reason why we see a rise in conflicts the world over.
Yes exactly. Like that.
Also, US didn’t annex those countries.
Correct. Although Afghanistan was fairly justified but the end result was 20 years of death.
Why was invading Afghanistan justified? And who gets go decide such things?
Agreed, and russia paid a lot to help those countries fight back.
I am totally fine with peace by making war painful.
Russia had bounties on American soldiers in Afghanistan. We're just taking a more direct approach.
Your mama taught you that 2 wrongs make a right?
That's ok because the US needed to denazify them. Oh I mean to get rid of WMDs, communists, and al Qaeda. The USA only use the nefarious propaganda for good, just ask them.
Doesn't devalue the criticism against Russia.
Wink, wink
Exactly why they handed out cluster bombs. They're great for self-defence.
Yes they are, if invaders have made trenches in your country.
The middle of the end
