r/russianwarfootage is something else.

"They have been steadily losing ground since the beginning of the war."
Oh sweetie, they control less than half the territory they did at their peak.
It's the same shit with the tankies on Lemmy. They write these essays like they are payed per character and link the dumbest shit you can imagine. My favourite being some dude on youtube saying "It was the CIA, CIA man told me, trust me it's CIA man in trenchcoat, tiananmen square did not happen and if it did it was scary CIA man".
This sentiment is very common around the world. Every time something goes wrong it's not the government: "It's the USA/Europe/Jews! AAAARGH! They fear us so much! That's why they sabotage us all the time!" I hear this shit in my own family from time to time and it never stops being funny. I wish I could deep dive into an alternate reality like they do.
I mean, the USA and Europe did fuck lots of shit up during the cold war, let alone before then. Totally fair if people from South America, Africa and Asia are wary of us. No excuse for including jews though
Yeah, sure, but there's a difference between not wanting other nations interfering in your country's affairs (which is completely fair) and supporting Russia engaging in a blatantly imperialist offensive war just because they oppose "the West". That's just hypocrisy.
