Haven't we learned our lesson about unprovoked wars after watching East Europe for the past year and a half??
@emizeko - not sure if you're a Russian troll or a poor American doing the real fascists' work for them--but I'm sorry for you my friend and hope the best for you. If you missed it in my other comments, I'm currently serving in the US military and am very confident that Western media at large is on the money, and that a novice OSINTer could refute the fanfic you posted. Best wishes.
- Well we haven't learned after have a dozen unprovoked wars in the Middle East and North Africa so why would one more help?
  
  Well shit I guess we practically have to invade now
- This many people cannot have all never play Civilization. There must be someone on this god forsaken hellsite who understands what "Encirclement" means.
- unprovoked
  US-installed fash in Ukraine's government preparing a massive offensive against DPR & LPR after persecuting ethnic Russians and shelling Donbas for eight years killing ~16k and ignoring Minsk I & II and talking about acquiring nuclear weapons in violation of the Budapest memorandum

  lmao i hope you drown
- There is fairly public pro-Russian sentiment among Republicans and their supporters. Anything to be contrarian to what the libs are talking about, even if it's non-partisan.
  
  To be fair, the democrats were absolutely bloodthirsty when Obama was elected warlord and he waged war against the peoples of Syria and Libya. It's a bipartisan problem affecting both liberal parties.
  
  7 countries in 8 years 4 million dead. "im very good at killing people" was not an understament
  
  Oh I'm familiar with it. My entire family operates this way. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. I joined the military due to my parents fears about Russia and China invading or some shit. Now I'm the liberal because I've actually educated myself, and here they are defending the very things they were terrified of 25 years ago just to own the libs.
  
  Yeah, they were the types that sided with the McCarthyism as part of the Red Scare, who publicly accused political figures that they'd "rather go to Moscow" or outright saying they are un-American.
  Ironic that they'd now rather be Russian than Democrat, considering that the Russian Federation government is openly hostile to the freedom they take for granted.
  (Not harping on Russian culture, just the political and geopolitical stance of the Russian Federation. I actually like Slavic culture.)
  
  My mother was all into the satanic panic BS and Linin's words about winning the next war via education and indoctrination of youth in our schools. Dad turned out, interestingly enough, to be closeted gay when they divorced because he was also an abusive sack of shit father.
  The ironic part is that he is so indoctrinated from his small hometown upbringing that he still votes Republican-only and hides the fact his business partner and co-owner of his father's ranch he inherited is also his boyfriend, or at this point, common law husband. He still hides it because the small community he lives in would probably not be very welcoming. The funny thing is that, at least before it was revealed he was hiding a boyfriend, he was hugely homophobic.
  It took me literal years to deprogram, in no small part from reddit, traveling through the military, and seeing the hypocrisy of modern Christianity. It's sad that so many will never question the values they grew up with and will turn into the next generation ignoramus.

  'thank you for your service', you say when someone describes their career pushing paper in the afghani legation quarter
- I just want you to know as a member us military I hope you lose everything and end up drunk and homeless without ever being able to sleep. I'm glad that this is statistically likely.
