I hope I don’t get castrated for this by everyone here but I’m genuinely curious so I’m going to ask. For coxtext, I’m a dirty commie removed hippie dick suckin left wing lib (not a meme, I am literally a Liberal Democrat). Now that that’s out of the way, I’d like to ask someone who disagrees with me why they think that supporting Ukraine is a bad move? The way I see it, the longer this war goes on, the weaker Russia gets. Sure it’s costing the US (and other countries) a lot of money and resources but we are essentially weakining a not-so-friendly country of ours without having to send our own troops to fight it. Why is this a bad thing? Should I not care if Russia gets more powerful than it already is? Am I removed?

    The ethnic Russian population in eastern Uktain have been shelled by artilley, aimed at them by Aziv Nazis for the last 8 years.

    At this point if Ukraine gained back the DPR it would almost certainly result in an ethnic cleansing.

    I’m dumbass yt gringette living in imperial core and technically a neutral party to the whole war debate thing and also haven’t been paying attention about any of this ,but I accidentally read all this shit I didn’t want to read and I’m somewhat technically ethnically Russian and just want to follow up with a quick question.

    Is there a list or map of international consensus for which countries agree/disagree on the narrative(s) established on my quoted items? I just want to look at some cool maps.

      I’m not sure a map is needed. During the time it was happening, it was reported as fact.

      If you click tools in Google, you can filter search results by year. There’s plenty of reporting of it from around the world from 2014 - 2019. The narrative just suddenly shifts in the west in 2020.
