    Russia is not my enemy. The EU is my enemy.

    Russia won’t sanction me and freeze my accounts for saying something they don’t like. Russia doesn’t force neoliberal austerity on my country. Russia doesn’t take my tax money to give to genocidal Israelis and American weapons corporations.

    Russia has never done anything bad to me. The EU has.

      LOL, Russia won’t sanction you, it will poison you or throw you out of a window.

      Russia is literally forcing austerity on the entire ukrainian nation.

      Putin is the richest russian, billionaire. Guess who gave him all that money?

      I don’t disagree with rich vs poor, but whitewashing Russia is just hilarious.

        Russia hasn’t poisoned me or thrown me out of a window. Ukraine is a victim of Western meddling and of its own stupid, self-destructive decisions. I don’t care about Putin, he isn’t taking my money, my own government is. The billionaires and corporations that make my life worse are not in Russia, they are here in Europe and in the US.

        It’s funny that you claim to care about the Skirpals, but you can’t even be bothered to remember the names of supposed victims of “Novichok poisoning”. Maybe I should be thankful for people like you. As long as you’re the main audience, the psyops will never be too complex, & will hammer on the same xenophobic tropes ad infinitum.

        The British government fucking poisoned the Skirpals I have a gajillion articles on it written by a dying 90-something CIA agent among other people. He is the coolest one though not the smartest.

          Please do share some of those articles, because that exact topic is something I’ve been meaning to start researching for a while now.

            Aaaa double reminder it’s gonna be like 2am soon. I got distracted by everyone I feud with on social media having a meltdown over the Platner thing. In the meantime here read some of these, they get into the military rushing in to do the toxicology & the impossibility of a nerve agent being used to do the job, as well as the reasons the British govt would want to kill them.

            The UI is terrible, the man is a “former” CIA agent, & the books are not on Anna’s Archive, overall his geopolitical analysis is crank shit. His breakdown of this case & a few other issues is excellent.

          So Russia is no better than the west in the end? It’s imperialism vs imperialism?

          Thank you for this.
