Good lord, the comments on that article. I guess I shouldn't expect any better from RT, but man it does really make me sad that so many people are happy living in a fantasy world where Ukrainians are the bad guys in this conflict.
If you think that's bad you really don't want to look at what's goin on in Palestine.
A lot of Palestinians died in that conflict. And they are, surprisingly, people too.
I think this is a bad faith reading of the other comment. Perhaps Warrior of Ukraine meant that they're European, and as such is more emotionally and intellectually invested in the war in Ukraine than in the ongoing conflict of non-Europeans (which you rightly identified as "people too", of course) in Palestine/Israel.
And I think I absolutely correctly read "Who cares about those people, they're not Europeans", and the quotes about the word conflict were just a cherry on top. The correct answer to whatabout is not "we should only care about my issue because I am important and you are less than that".
I didn't see that intention. Perhaps u/JackBruh@lemm.ee would come back and clarify his intent. Otherwise, I largely agree with you. Whataboutism makes it as if when you care about one thing, you have to care about every thing, but no one person can fix every thing. It makes cynics of us all
Wow this is news to me when did this happen
Plans have been discovered that Russia intended to invade other countries including Moldova and the other surrounding eastern European countries once they were done with Ukraine. Putin had no plans to stop his conquest, he wants to rebuild the Soviet Union.
Racism
Keep deflecting
And you have a Nazi flag
That is going to require them to train their military or something. So I'm guessing it might be easier for them to just wait a couple of thousand years until all of Europe is underwater as it will be faster.
Good. I hope to see the EU and the country of “Ukraine” removed from the map. The world will know peace further than it does now if Russia were able to do that
Ukraine is the bad guy as they are fascist dictators who will (hopefully) be a former country in the future
Pretty sure invading another country for their natural resources doesn't make you the good guys, no matter what excuse your country invents to justify their actions.
If Ukraine had not been threatening Russia by allowing NATO in, might not be an issue. Ukraine can continue to lose and I will enjoy the sight. Keep defending losing fascists
Seek mental help.
Says the literal Nazi-defended
