    And yet you still assume that the narrative of “conquest” must be true, because of what you’ve been told by Western media.

      Please share with the class the independent journalism that would illustrate how Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine is justified and not simply a dick-measuring exercise for Putin.

      You can GTFO with any dumbass memes about Nazis throwing salutes, if a decade-long war was launched against every country that has Nazis then no country would be able to get their britches on in the morning.

        Do I need to show you the history of Western meddling in elections and color revolutions and coups? Or the Western ambition towards conquering Asia? I think those are pretty well known and speak for themselves.

        With that history in mind, we can’t dismiss Russia’s claims about Maidan being a Western-backed coup. Even if you don’t want to assume Russia’s side of the story is true, you’re making an additional leap by assuming the Western “conquest” narrative.
