That doesn’t discount the fact that it was selected for that purpose.
WTF of course it discounts the fact that it was “selected for that purpose”.
I love how big Ukraine is on the Risk map.
It was intentional as propaganda. During the Cold War,
Nope. It is hundreds of years older that that.
It is from the book “The Last 100 Days” by John Toland. He was a reporter during WWII and said his book is based on “several thousand primary sources”.
Russia intelligence services have been producing conspiracy theory propaganda from even before the Communist era. Adolf Hitler was radicalized in 1909 to hate Jews by “The protocols of the Elders of Zion”. That’s right, he killed 6 million Jews because he bought into Russian bullshit.
Ukraine a White country and Iran is not
And yet Iran is literally where the “Aryians” originated who were idolized by Hitler.
, and to Western liberals, that makes all the difference in the world.
Here is the actual thing that makes all the difference in the world. It would be racist to think that Iranians don’t deserve human rights and freedom, which implies they aren’t as good as people in the west.
Russia, Iran - dictatorships.
Ukraine - democracy
Israel - democracy (but moving away)
It’s only when non-whites fight back that they start bloviating about “both sides bad”
To be thinking that Iranians aren’t good enough to deserve human rights and democracy because they aren’t western/white sounds racist.
The only way that “Iran” can win is if/when the people overthrow the Supreme Dictator
a little optimism and fantasize about good things happening in the world.
Well if the dictatorship is overthrown in Iran, that would be fantastically great. If Israel also gets rid of its terrible PM, that would be good too. Maybe both the people of Iran and Israel can both come out winners.
Iran has been under the control of two different mullahs for the last 45 years.
And to gain that control, they blatantly lied in 1979 and told everyone they supported democracy and would not be involved in government. They KNEW that people wanted freedom and democracy and so they just lied about it to gain control.
Without Iran’s support, Russia would be failing much faster in Ukraine as well.
One good thing about this is that Iran will have much fewer drones left to give to Putin to kill Ukranians.
WTF LMFAO. Iran is way closer to Nazi Germany than the British under Churchill which it doesn’t resemble in any way.
The biggest amount of suffering is because of the western imposed sanctions on Iran
Nope. 99% of the suffering is because of the Supreme Dictator
Your are supporting another regime change like the previous Shah which only serves Western purposes.
Nope. I want Iran to be able to chose their own leaders. To be thinking that Iranians aren’t good enough people to deserve freedom and basic human rights sounds a bit racist to me.
Iran also should have the right to chose their own leaders. But they don’t. Which is too bad. If they weren’t stuck with a Supreme Dictator making their decisions then they wouldn’t even need to be defending themselves right now.
Perhaps instead of finding and breaking fresh news
They still do exactly this. Their quality of reporting has not gone down at all. Getting the official lie from Traitorapist Trump on any topic does not add to the story at all. I actually prefer not hearing the unimportant lie Trump is telling on some specific story.
I would rather annex the US into Canada so that we get a much better health care system.
Just be glad you don’t live in Ukraine as National Public Radio has some grim first hand stories as to what Putin’s invasion was like for civilians.
https://www.npr.org/2022/04/30/1093339262/ukraine-russia-rape-war-crimes
[Accounts of alleged sexual violence coming out of Ukraine in recent weeks have been grim. A woman raped repeatedly by a Russian soldier after her husband was killed outside Kyiv. A mother of four gang raped by Russian soldiers in Kherson. The body of a Ukrainian woman found dead — naked and branded with a swastika. A woman raped by a Russian commander on the day tanks entered the village of Kalyta.
The number of reports that have emerged since the start of the war in late February suggests that rape in Ukraine at the hands of Russian soldiers may be widespread…]
Oh, so you’re not a sane person who can learn from their own mistakes. You’re just 100% divorced from reality. Don’t bother the adults anymore.
Just because the soldiers are Ukrainian doesnt mean the US isn’t at war.
The US isn’t at war. You thought we’ve been at war with China for the last 75 years because we gave military aid to Taiwan? You thought we entered WWII in 1940 because of the lend-lease program? LMFAO. Trump’s attack on Iran was way more of a ‘war’. He used US military forces and caused hundreds of US casualties.
US casualty list:
Trump’s attack on Iran: 100+
Putin’s attack on Ukraine: 0
Real people in Ukraine telling their actual first hand account stories of what Russian soldiers did is not a ‘propaganda machine’.
Reality doesn’t care about what people are saying. It matters what people are doing. The people who suffered and died because of Hitler and Putin are all real people who were real victims.
LOL I hadn’t seen that one.
