      So criticising Russia or China is being brainwashed but criticising a Western country being open-minded and enlightened. Got it.

        Looking at YappyMonotheist’s post history, I’m pretty sure they’re just a troll, I would just ignore and move on.

          I’ve interacted with them before, I don’t think they’re a troll, just a chronically online weirdo with barely any understanding of anything they’re talking about.

          So is Russia currently engaged in an imperialist invasion and occupation of a neighbour to exert regional control and seize resources or is that just me being brainwashed?

            More like a defensive war post American coup of Ukraine since, if left to their own devices, Ukraine would’ve been an even stronger NATO FOB. No need to wait for that, unless you’re suicidal or in cahoots with the West, you can see how they act with impunity if they have the upper hand as they did with Iran (because they have their FOB colony, Israel) just some months ago… Russia and Europe WERE integrating, with Nord Steam and all, but America made its moves and weakened the continent (mostly Western Europe, Russia has other allies and financial avenues, the West only has daddy America) and everything followed from there. Remember: this war is a war against Western Europe more so than a war against Russia, and every European politician pushing for war has taken American/globalist money.

                Still you, lol. But it doesn’t matter, in 50 years time maybe your grandkids will read about it and tell you.

                  Why don’t you go and live in Russia, help defend them against the naughty evil Westerners then? Or better yet, go and fight on the front lines and defend mother Russia from the American empire, they’re recruiting right now!

                    The world is more complex than that, just because the West and its constant aggression and colonization makes them the biggest villains ever doesn’t mean they’re the only ones, and just Putin has had a lot of Russian innocent civilian blood in his hands on his climb to power (nvm the local repressions, the ethnic groups disregarded, etc), it’s not like he’s a moral man. It’s basically the mob Vs amoral Western corpos, and if you’ve seen Vegas you know it’s better to have the former than the latter. Also, what kind of argument is that? I’d rather join Greta, but I’m not that selfless and still too attached to earthly life, lol.
