    Wait so the US is lying to you because they’re financially supporting Ukraine & with weapons, while they’re being fucking invaded, because Poland (an independent nation) decides to send ground troops into Russia (maybe to slow down the invasion of Ukraine???)

    Seems to me like you’re operating under the assumption that the United States of America runs the entire world. They don’t.

      It does play pretty well into the narrative that all countries weaker than Russia, China, and the US are puppets of one of those three. It really would make US-European relations so much easier if the US could just command them what to do. Could just command them to not build Nord Stream 1, could just command them to put their 2% into defense, could just command them to brush their fucking teeth (WTF England, it’s disgusting, have some basic hygiene).

    Outrage? At what, fighting back against the aggressor? This article is a joke. Neither Ukraine nor Poland would be doing anything at all if a scumbag tyrant didn’t invade. Russia is committing every warcrime possible, like they’re just checking them off a list, and this article takes issue with Ukraine fighting back.

    The outrage! How dare they not get conquered!

    Hoo boy, what a terrible and biased editorial, full of inaccuracies and incorrect implications! It’s good of you to show it to us here as a reminder of the kind of dishonesty being spread around.

      A long time ago, I kinda sorta noticed during the toxic 2016 presidential election in the United States.
      But when I (and a lot of other people) really noticed was right after russia invaded Ukraine, since then the barrage of non-stop, hollow, fact-less infotainment published multiple times a day, every single day, has been relentless.

      They publish A LOT of unverified hearsay with wishful thinking - meaning “shit you want to hear”. They’ve put putin on death’s door, the imminent collapse of the russian economy and society, or an imminent kremlin coup, countless times in the past year and a half.

      Yet another casualty in the clickbait enshittication of the internet.
