Oh hey, we’re back to where it all begun. Only took a couple million displaced.

    Do you think the libs who’ve been saying that Ukraine trying to join NATO couldn’t have been a factor in the invasion because Ukraine never tried to join NATO will now stfu and self reflect?

    No, I’m not hopeful, either.

      The actual specifics of the conflict are entirely irrelevant to them. Their narrative is just: “Putin bad man. He invade country. This bad. The End.”

      They have no understanding or nuance, no ability to learn anything about the build up to the conflict, they just want to believe that Putin woke up one morning and ordered his army to invade Ukraine because he’s an evil bad man.

      They actively refuse to learn about the conflict and the west’s part in it. They want their simple movie narrative. They’re like goddamn zombies or something, only instead of brains, they feast on liberal fiction.

        They legitimately think Putin woke up one day and just randomly decide to invade Ukraine for no reason whatsoever.

        Which isn’t surprising, because I would be surprised if any of them even thought of Ukraine once before 2022. Certainly not any of the events from 2014. To them, Ukraine didn’t exist until it was their latest Cause.

          I think that’s the part that pisses me off about libs suddenly caring about the latest moral issue. They didn’t know anything about the situation, but now CNN or Reuters or whatever has told them about a thing they need to feel very strongly about and they’re suddenly world experts on whatever is happening.

          And they’re just so damn arrogant when you try to educate them, even using liberal approved sources they just deny everything about the issue so they can remain morally pure or whatever.
