If you believe that Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was unprovoked, you will likely compare Putin to Hitler and will likely oppose President Trump’s peace negotiations with Russia. After all, if Putin’s invasion was unprovoked, a settlement would reward naked aggression and would be akin to Neville Chamberlain’s 1938 appeasement…

The only concrete assertion I see in this linked wall of text is:

Ukrainians are "dominated in their thinking by neo-Nazis”

…Which is false. And tremendously ironic in the current political climate in the EU/US.

The rest is just a whole bunch of whataboutism about how the US is a pompous, warmongering ass, which is true. But it’s no excuse.

@brucethemoose@lemmy.world Yeah it's too obvious to be the truth, right? /s

You know whataboutism is invoked when there isn't any intelligence response to the truth. The new NeoLiberal construct, to deflect the truth. You're a Nazi supporter. Unfortunately, we have many out west in Canada from the Ukrainian diaspora that came here during the Cold War. They had to be fervent anti-communists to be allowed in. Unfortunately for the rest of Canada, there are many Stepan Bandera monuments out west, wanna talk about that? Stepan Bandera was a Nazi, That's a fact.
