Yeah, right. It's only propaganda when it's coming from the enemy's side.
As an ethnic Russian who has never been to that country and has no love lost for Putin's regime, I am feeling less and less sympathy towards "the West" the longer this shit drags on.
Even though I have absolutely zero responsibility for this war, I was shat upon and called every name in the book from the likes of you pretty much every day for the past year. I'm noticing that it's definitely taking its toll on my worldview.
Your politicians were absolutely fine with Putin's regime when he was building up his power (for 20 years!) and destroying whatever was left of the opposition inside the country, because hey, cheap gas and oil, and money paid for that gas and oil were stolen by his cronies and funneled back into London and New York.
Now that this finally came back to bite you, my friends and relatives are somehow deemed responsible. Fuck off.
I feel sorry for you - and the original context is now deleted - but I would point out that many of the leaders in the west have not been okay with Putin for a very long time, and every Russian I have talked too has said either they can’t do anything about it, or the Ukrainians had it coming and Russia was abandoned after the Cold War (it was not), there should have been a Marshall plan(there was), that Russia has never been a aggressor (it frequently is), that Putin isn’t popular (he is) and that the Russians can do nothing about this(they can)x
