      🤡

      Considering that the only way that Ukraine could’ve avoided being attacked, pillaged, having had their women raped and schools and hospitals bombed, and been locked into a forceful quagmire over their own goddamn home is if they didn’t miss the window to join NATO in the first place.

      Like, you can play word games and place rhetorical traps all you want, it doesn’t stop you from looking like an idiot for carrying water for the biggest crybully on planet Earth.

        Do you consider Ukraine not a part of NATO/aligned with the West de facto? If not since they got couped, by now? What does that even mean and how would it have changed things? America wanted to “'contain” Russia, and for it it used Ukraine, and here we are. The rest is wind.

          Odd choice of words. Countries are contained by their borders. Invaders are always the scum, there’s no situation where attacking Ukraine was justified.

          I wish someone would have “contained” them sooner so Ukraine wouldn’t have to deal with the sewage spill.

            It’s not an odd choice of words. It’s exactly the words used in certain circles.

            They are staying on message.
