    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.
