The entirety of America's media do not agree on one thing, profits above all else. That's just you oversimplifying everything into a monolith to validate an thought-terminating narrative. It's mental fast food.

@dannylojkovic5205 It's not a proxy war. Ukraine was the third largest nuclear weapon stockpile in 1994. They signed away those nukes when they signed Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances for a promise of peace and territorial integrity. When Russia violated that peace treaty, the US was just upholding their promise when they got Ukraine to sign the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as part of the Budapest Memorandum. Russia's leaders do not have their nation’s interests in mind. Only their own personal interests. If NATO's plan was expansion, they wouldn't turn countries down or drag out the process. Ukraine applied to join NATO back in the 1990s. Ukraine was the first post-Soviet country to start under the Partnership for Peace initiative. Yet 30ish years later, they're still not part of NATO. That sounds too slow for NATO to be serious about expansion.

@lettuceatter_9956 Why should I believe the story of "multiple assassination attempts" against Assange? Sounds shady.

@MyHandleIs You got that backwards. P Riot were imprisoned when they got famous enough.

@MyHandleIs But were they actually valid examples?

@joek600 It's not a real argument. It's a persecution complex. Some people always feel like victims. Today, it's "American agents" Tomorrow, it's someone else. It's always someone else's fault. Never taking responsibility for yourself.

@wederMaxim Россия подписала Будапештский меморандум о гарантиях безопасности. Они нарушили это соглашение. Теперь другие страны, подписавшие это соглашение, соблюдают соглашение, отправляя помощь. Почему мы не можем поверить, что Россия сдержит свое слово?

@dobrasilaomundo.8086 Assange is still alive. Ravil Maganov, the billionaire oligarch, CEO of Lukoil (the second largest company in Russia) and vocal critic of Putin, was thrown out his hospital window on the day Putin visited the hospital. CCTV footage was not available because cameras had been "turned off for repairs". There were over 12 Russian oligarchs who died in suspicious circumstances in 2022 after the invasion. Dan Rapoport was defenestrated from his high rise apartment in Washington DC. The Editor-in-chief of Komsomolskaya Pravda was suffocated while on the way to lunch. Grigory Kochenov, Director of Agima IT, fell to his death from his balcony while officials from the Investigative Committee executed a search warrant for his apartment. Alexander Subbotin, Board member of Lukoil and Putin critic, died from a drug-induced heart attack. Yuri Voronov, CEO of Astra Shipping, a subcontractor of Gazprom, found dead in his pool with gunshots to his head and the pistol left next to the pool. Sergey Protosenya, Deputy Chairman of Novatek, found dead in Spain, his wife and daughter found dead in their beds with blunt axe wounds and stab wounds. Pavel Antov, deputy of the Legislative Assembly of Vladimir Oblast, thrown out of window from Hotel Sai International in India (another Russian colleague, Vladimir Bidenov, died in the same hotel two days prior) Vladislav Avayev, Vice President of Gazprombank, Wife and 13-year-old daughter found dead beside him. Vasily Melnikov, CEO of Medstorm, Wife and two sons found dead beside him. How many people falling out windows or off cliffs or off their boats or down stairwells, often days apart, do you need for it to not be a coincidence?

@gyllenspetzfamily7993 Ah, you're of those people who pigeonhole everything into two groups. There are no wrong ones.

@gyllenspetzfamily7993 If you're not willing to explain, then why should we believe you? Unless you know this person and their professors in person, you are just projecting vague assumptions on to them..

@dylanmurphy9389 Nothing will happen at a "anti Ukraine, pro Russia protest in a western university". That's less heated than anti-abortion protest and those happen all the time.

@dimasakbar7668 If European countries would spend 2% of the GDP on their own defence instead of leaning on US support, then the US wouldn't be pushed into "US as the creator / guarantor of world peace".

@andreasc.2182 And now your grandchildren will be taught that your generation of Germans dragged its feet in supporting Ukraine. Now that Russia is acting the aggressor, Germany has a chance to counterbalance their grandfather's misdeeds through support today.

@danwilliams4096 The US did not sign a non-aggression treaty with Iraq. Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances where they promised not to invade Ukraine. Now other countries who also signed, like the US, are upholding their part by sending aid to Ukraine as part of that agreement.

@wederMaxim Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances. They need to uphold the promise made in that by leaving Ukraine alone.

@moustachio05 No, they did not.

@KuroiReaper "In US you have protest few stores get robbed and that is it." is recency bias and confirmation bias. The American Revolution and Civil War started with protests. The Boston Tea Party for the first. Bleeding Kansas, a violent state-level civil war from 1854 to 1861 with different state capitals, two different constitutions, and two different legislatures. Russia has had revolutions where one authoritarian power replaces another, but never a civil war involving authoritarian vs freedom groups within Russia. Russians don't take Ukrainians seriously. They should, because those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Ukranians were upset about the Cassette Scandal, where president Leonid Kuchma was caught on tape ordering the kidnapping of journalist Georgiy Gongadze, whose decapitated corpse had recently been found. This led to the bloodless Orange Revolution where protestors forced a new election that ousted Yanukovych in 2004. Then the Euromaidan protests of 2014 which culminated in the Revolution of Dignity, where thousands of protestors marched to the parliament while being fired at police but did not break under fire. The police withdrew from central Kyiv, which came under effective control of the protesters. Yanukovych fled the city. The Ukrainian parliament voted to remove Yanukovych from office by 328 to 0 (72.8% of the parliament's 450 members). Yanukovych alleged that this vote was illegal and asked Russia for help. Russia invaded Crimea in response. If the Ukrainians were determined enough to walk en masse through sniper and riot police gunfire to protest in 2014, why would Russia expect anything different in 2022? You don't know history. This is Ukraine's Great Patriotic War.

@MyHandleIs Different wording is used when including different examples or facets of an topic to cover many angles. If you think in terms of "one side" instead of topics or issues to fix, that's not common sense, it's your conformation bias. Not everything you disagree with is propaganda.

@markedwarddavis2014 "America is always, always the good guy" is a false binary. The world is a messy, complicated place regardless, even if you only think in black-or-white terms.
