It’s just something the US has to say to avoid World War 3.

That’s what I was thinking. Pretty much what I would expect them to say publicly. Who knows what they actually think…you don’t find it in the news, that’s for sure.

Well, the US gave Ukraine about $400million in aid three days ago, probably planning to send more soon. That’s how you know what they really think.

The US doesn’t support the attacks just like Russia is fighting Nazis. The equipment just fell off the truck, and all of our people take long smoke breaks, while being a smoke free force.

America did not invade any nation. Those nations were invaded only by the US.

People like that think this is a gotcha because they assume you think the same way as them. Picking a team and defending anything they do regardless of whether it makes sense. We can criticise the U.S and Russia, it doesn’t detract from the fucking horrible shit Russia is doing and must be called out on.

Yes exactly. Like that.

Also, US didn’t annex those countries.

Correct. Although Afghanistan was fairly justified but the end result was 20 years of death.

That’s ok because the US needed to denazify them. Oh I mean to get rid of WMDs, communists, and al Qaeda. The USA only use the nefarious propaganda for good, just ask them.

Exactly why they handed out cluster bombs. They’re great for self-defence.
