Wrong instance
Seems right to me
You're on world, not ml. People don't fall for that as easily here.
Fall for what? Correction on a meme and pointing to basic political history in Ukraine?
Ah yes pointing to the completely organic resistance movements that cropped up simultaneously with Russian equipment and Russian soldiers contributing. But of course the US psyop'd 80% of the entire country to be in favor of EU membership. And the strong definitely not russian backed leader said no, I will carry on the true will of the Ukrainian people, which is to be subservient to Russia. And the people unjustly protested and got righteously shot for it. And then the totally not russian tanks rolled in.
Unfortunately you have a censor-happy mod that doesn't like the basic history here being described but if you'd like to discuss that history I'd be happy to continue on another instance.
Well he asked you first
No, he asked op.
Why yes, I do. That's why I asked in a sassy way.
It did not contain any misinformation, just basic facts about what was happening in Ukraine in 2014 - Euromaidan, separatist movements, far right consolidation, etc. Things reported on constantly by mainstream Western press for 8 years. There is at least one overzealous mod that is removing my comments, comments that contain no misinformation, and with no requests for clarification or any actual challenge to what I said.
Feel free to ask me this question on a less censorious instance.
Ukraine: The Avoidable War
I’m curious as to what you think a reputable source is. One that agrees with you? I’m sure there are plenty of YouTube videos that do, are they disreputable and untrustworthy, simply because of the platform?
I was pointing out how it's funny to make basic grammatical errors while doing so.
Excellent contribution to the discourse.
We caught one!
