People are really arguing that Putin is not the aggressor in the Ukrainian war?
I think it's a binary thinking problem.
"The global super power that was supposedly the good guys turns out to be problematic, so..... I guess the person they said was the bad guy must be pretty great."
Das vedanya to that bullshit. The wannabe tsar's imperialist ambitions continue to fuck both Ukraine and his own people.
Sure. The free-Palestine-but-occupy-Ukraine, poor-Putin-was-provoked-into-it-but-never-mind-Hamas'-attack-on-Israel crowd is pretty self-negating and nonsensical for people who live in the real world.
Personally, I think both Israel and especially Russia are swatting flies w/sledgehammers and using thin excuses to justify absolutely disgusting foreign policies that are far worse than what we currently practice in the States. But some people prefer seeking out conspiracy theories to justify their biases. Most of 'em, right and left, are not worth your time or mine. Anyway, it's Election Day...
