Those ‘Putin puppets’ seem based enough, tho…
Comment on Ukrainian forces withdraw from Avdiivka to avoid encirclement, army chief says

Trusting the west was their key mistake, I agree.

What, if you had to guess, is the agenda?
empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 months ago
The agenda generally boils down to “west Bad, anything not-west Good” without any nuance regardless of the topic. Hate and criticize the west sure, but Putin’s militarized, iron-fist Russia (and same for the CCP) is actively worse in every possible manner. The 14yo-level tankieisms are very annoying to hear so frequently, which is why I keep hexbear’s posts instance blocked on my account.
The west was happy to pour weapons into Ukraine for almost two years, but Putin is not stupid and knows his KGB tricks to spread careful propaganda designed to gradually sour us against Ukraine’s defense. Our alt-right conservatives are chomping at the bit for a fascist dictatorship and he wouldn’t let such an opportunity slide. Now we have the likes of Tucker Carlson actively interviewing Putin for his propaganda tour, and Republicans are happy to spoil all of Ukraine’s aid for unclear, transparently corrupt political brownie points. Ukraine was right to trust the west. But we are failing our end of the deal by not recognizing and instantly rejecting the obvious manipulation by a despot who thrives on the internal chaos of his enemies.
