    The same Russia that’s currently trying to invade Ukraine?

      I’m sure you’ve heard of Pol Pot and the killing fields of Cambodia.

      Did you know who stopped Pol Pot? It was Vietnam. Vietnam, already devastated by a series of wars, undertook a invasion of Cambodia and deposed Pol Pot, partly because Pol Pot was killing ethnic Vietnamese people who lived in Cambodia.

      And throughout the whole thing, America condemned Vietnam. America accused Vietnam of being expansionist. America was on Cambodia’s side.

      Just a thought.

          I’m saying the Russia/Ukraine situation seems very analogous to the Vietnam/Cambodia situation.

                And who was president of Ukraine while that was happening? Viktor Yanukovich, pro-Russian stooge and convicted traitor.

                Now, why would a pro-Russian Ukrainian be giving Russia cover to invade Ukraine? I’m sure we’ll never know, but maybe there are some falsehoods we can flag and eliminate from consideration.

                  No, it was Petro Poroschenko, the pro-European billionaire installed as president by an American-backed coup.

                    Russia invaded the Donbas in April 2014. Poroshenko didn’t become president until June.

                    Jesus, you all don’t even know your own history.

            I agree we need Ukraine to stop Putin.

      The Russia that is trying to liberate the Donbas from Ukrainian oppression, yes.

        (Reminder that the Donbas is majority ethnic Russian and has been fighting for independence from Ukraine since 2014, which resulted in them being bombed by their own government.)

          Yeah when you raise a militia with the help of another country and shoot at the government it tends to shoot back.

              This is another joke right? Russia has infamously been leveling towns to take territory, specifically targeting civilian shelters, and been caught torturing civilians.

                  How much are you being paid? Because this whole sub should be called /c/FreeBlowjobsForBiden.

                    And I don’t know what you think the Irish Republican Army has to do with anything.

                    The Internet Research Agency, known in Russian Internet slang as the Trolls from Olgino or Kremlinbots, was a Russian company which was engaged in online propaganda and influence operations on behalf of Russian business and political interests. It was linked to Yevgeny Prigozhin, a former Russian oligarch who was leader of the Wagner Group, and based in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

                    But I have a feeling you’re just playing dumb.

                  Then pick up a newspaper. Any newspaper other than RT.
