  • social media manipulation

    Biggest social media are all owned by private american corporations in bed with the government. Same as before to me it doesn't sound much likely that the russian government can successfully manipulate them.

    There’s no reason to believe the USA being rich (which only means a few individuals and corporations are very rich, btw) or having the largest army could have prevented it.

    Having the largest army doesn't mean they have more guys running around in a field. USA has the most technological advanced army in the world, they have the biggest mass surveillance network, more military facilities around the world, more satellites in orbit and they top everyone else in cyberwarfare.

  • US is the richest country in the world and the one with the largest and most advanced army. To me it sound quite unlikely to believe that the president of USA is controlled by russia (a country that is 10 times less rich).

  • United States Imports from Russia was US$3.27 Billion during 2024

    Sounds like no government actually gives a fuck about stopping the ukraine war. Sending weapons to ukraine government is a more profitable business than cutting import and export to russia to 0.

  • This is how it works when your country has war on it’s land

    This is how you are told it works when your country has war on it's land.

    I would expect any European country to react the same with war on their land.

    I would expect the same, most of them are ruled by corrupted politicians with blood on their hands

    War is hell on earth

    I agree, drafting people by force brings you closer to hell.

  • the wikipedia link i posted

  • Ukrainians die to protect their homeland against invasion. Russians die for needless oligarchic aspirations of dominion of the elite. It’s not the same thing for either side, as many like to make it seem as if Ukraine has any responsibility in the matter.

    I think what some people are arguing about is that ukraine government practices much resemble these of the russian government. Ukraine government is also drafting people by force and arresting any male between 18-60 who tries to leave the border. Many people died as a result trying to flee.

    Drafting people by force is a needless authoritarian practice in any scenario.

  • One of the reasons russia could invade ukraine is because they have an army of conscripts. Rulers and politicians use people as their paws. Be wary of any ruler or government drafting people by force even when their claim is "defense", not being drafted by force does not limit the ability of individuals to defend themself.

  • Gotta keep war clean, neat, and bloodless.

    Something really scary is that AI is going to make this process much less troublesome for governments

  • I believe governments and media are preventing the pictures from gaza from flooding the news or there would be a public outrage.

  • I'm sure i've even commented before that they should kill putin but according to the propaganda you must have it tattoed on your body or it doesn't count and you are still a russian troll.

  • well known russia supporter

    Never supported the russian government in any of the comments i ever made. You sound brainwashed on propaganda.

  • Just yesterday people were cheering up germany government for rearming for war and everyone arguing against it was being downvoted.

  • Isn't conscription already a thing in USA? Many countries silently paused conscription but it's just there

  • Politicians never fight their wars. Conscription is slavery.

  • You are misinformed.

    European countries combined do indeed spend more money on war than russia. What the article you posted claim is that adjusted to their buying power russia spend the equivalent of more billions. Even if we compare these adjusted spending europe and russia are pretty much there.

  • name one that isn't or that isn't part of an alliance doing it

  • Who are you supposed to fight a war to begin with?

    Germany is not the only country in the world spending money on military pensions.

  • They spend billions each year their shit is already in order

  • You cannot expect atrocities to lead to anything good. We see it in gaza right now, the ongoing genocide will breed more terrorists and more conflicts.
