    None of that really matters when Russia is the one that is invading a foreign country and killing its citizens. Funny how all of you keep ignoring that or you just recite the Russian government propaganda.

      Russia doesn’t share your assumption that it is a foreign country. That assumption is rather limited to English propaganda, and Russia hasn’t invested much resources in countering institutional propaganda in the English world - they don’t need to fight a pointless war at that front.

        I don’t care what Russia thinks. Pretty much the entire world agrees that Ukraine is a foreign country and if it weren’t I wonder why it let Ukraine have its own government and so on.

          30% population of pre-SMO Ukraine was Russian. And a dicriminated minority. Who invaded whom is a matter of how well versed you are with one side of propaganda and how ignorant of the other.

            Please provide evidence to the contrary then.

            It’s extremely easy to find tons of images of russian troops invading Ukraine.

            I have yet to find any images of Ukraine invading Russia.

              Russian side of propaganda is not too difficult to find, even in the English world. Why don’t you do a google search by yourself and list 10 results of what you found ?

                Why would I go out of my way to prove your point? Why would I ever look for Russian propaganda?

                Your argument is yours to prove not mine.

                  You haven’t substantiated your own assertion about NATO not invading Russia. It is your point at stake. I simply pointed you to an undeniable fact that torpedos your assertion, and pointed you to relevant literature, which you are refusing to look into.

                  Your point stands logically punctured. Feel free to flee.

                    Lol. You can’t just say without sources that NATO invaded Russia and then get mad when I deny it. That’s like the people that claim that the earth is flat say that everyone else has to prove otherwise.

                    Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and you have none.

            Why did the countries choose to join NATO? Maybe it was because Russia is a threat. A fact that was later proved by the invasion of Ukraine which actually made more countries join NATO.

              If we are making hypothesis, USA bullying smaller countries into joining its own gang is much more probable. After all, it is not disputed that USA has been bullying everyone into forcing sanctions against Russia and only big countries like India and Germany have been able take a stand against American bullying.

                My country joined because of Russia and their invasion of Ukraine not because of the USA.

                  Whatever makes you feel better. I am done here. I’ll leave some reading material for you though.

                  If you haven’t read actual Russian propaganda so far, I’d highly recommend reading the entire Big Serge’s Substack for a rather informed take from perspective of a Russian in USA.

                  Enjoy these long reads with good tea.

                Russia invaded Ukraine. The USA didn’t. They have also done terrible things but we are discussing the invasion of Ukraine now.

                Just because the USA has overthrown governments doesn’t give Russia any right to invade Ukraine many years later.

                here you are spewing ignorant drivel smugly.

                Ditto. A country which is so afraid of freedoms and rights can’t be trusted. Any reasonable country allows journalists to live.
