Very disheartening to see so much idiotic, misguided Russophobic and pro-Ukraine propaganda even on Neocities. Once again we see that the vast majority of westerners are easily-led sheep that will lap up whatever agendas their governments feed them. Putin is a bad guy for fighting to protect his people and his country's sovereignty from foreign aggressors, yet America is a beacon of Democracy despite how many

countries they have destroyed and how many people they have senselessly murdered or displaced? Westerners are taught to hate and fear China and Russia, yet the only real threats we face consistently come from our own governments and lying, censorship-happy media. Quite lamentable that in the so-called "land of the free", I have to rely on news outlets from other countries just to hear anything remotely close
to the truth.
Americans would lose their minds if China or Russia spend decades provoking them while planting troops and missiles along the Canadian and Mexican borders, but Russia is expected to just put up with this. If you agitate and threaten a bear enough times, no one with any sense will feel bad for you when the bear inevitably mauls you.
It's charming to see dictatorships that assault and crack down on innocent protesters, force millions of people to inject themselves with a dangerous experimental drug, and lock people up for smuggling FOOD during a lockdown, all suddenly coming out of the woodwork to stand up for "Democracy" in Ukraine. https://www.rt.com/russia/550675-trudeau-sanctions-putin-canada/
The US millitary complex rubs its hands together every time it can stir up yet another conflict. And the media complex is always in on the charade... yet again working to divide people.
@bmh 100%! The media is a disgusting and divisive force in society. They’ll probably try and politicize Russia’s attacks on Ukraine. Using tragedy to further a political agenda. I despair!
The U.S. just accused Russia of "manufacturing threats that do not exist in order to justify further aggression", which is ironically has been their exact M.O. for many decades now.
I don't follow political news and world events attentively, and am therefore largely ignorant of the background and causes of this conflict, but I still agree wholeheartedly that there is far too much suspicion, fear, and antipathy in the West towards Russia and Russians (and also towards China and the Chinese) that has been brought about by Western governments and mainstream media.
Also, I know that there is much enmity between you and Kuz, but I showed him these most recent posts of yours, and he said that he agrees with you and thinks that you are correct, if that means anything to you.
Thank you for your open-mindedness, as usual, @lolwut. I don't believe for a second that China and Russia are perfect, but they are in no way worse than the United States and western countries in general. People excuse 80 years of the U.S. running rampshod over the globe, creating death and mayhem wherever they go, but jump on China/Russia for every little thing they do, no matter how minor or reasonable.
Also, it may surprise you taht that DOES mean a lot to me. I was actually thinking about Kuz earlier today and thinking about asking to bury the hatchet with him, as I do not want to have a feud with a fellow Russian, especially in these times. I've caused enough bad blood lately as it is.
