On the other hand, the West hasn't invaded another country and held "referendums" to force-annex bits of their territory.

Yeah? Russia didn't invade Iraq. There's another completely irrelevant bit if information.

Russia are being bad. That doesn't mean everything bad that happens must be Russia. And especially when it makes absolutely no sense for them to do what they're being accused of. And especially when America basically admitted it in advance.

idk why people are so blind on this matter. People are making up absurd reasons why Russia would do this while completely ignoring the logical reasons USA would do this. It's a clear demonstration of how brainwashed Western citizens are by our propaganda.

Yeah? Russia didn't invade Iraq.

I just said it was probably the West that blew up the pipeline. But really I don't care, because either side would have no qualms about doing it if it was in their interests. It's not like "Oh Russia would never do anything THAT horrible. The West is soooo evil."

Also, I don't understand why you're devoting so much energy to this question when in the bigger picture of Russia invading the Ukraine and force-annexing its territory, and all the blood that's being spilled to get to that point, this is a pretty minor transgression.


Are people in the West swallowing propaganda? Probably. So what else is new? You act like it's only stupid people who live in the West who are wilfully blind to their governments' bad behaviour. How many Russian citizens believe they are defending the rights of Russians in Kherson from the Ukrainian SS Nazi brigade, or whatever bullshit justification they're using? You never call them fools, last I recall you were arguing "yeah there's Nazis in the UA."

Fuck me, if you can't see which side is holding the moral high ground in a war of invasion and conquest...
