Wouldn’t it be terrible if a foreign country invaded Ukraine, say people with negative self-awareness.
Yeah, I don’t think that the CIA’S “covert invasion” is nearly as high priority as the significantly less covert, actual, current invasion.
russia invading Ukraine for national security has much of the same trappings as america invading Iraq. but mls take the uncritical stance of america bad, russia good
Now I don’t feel so bad about being banned from .ml

Disclaimer, on Lemmy instance “block” isn’t really a block, more like a mute. So while you wont see posts from the blocked instances comms, you will still see individual users of that instance posts/comments if they post anywhere else
For an explainer on the current issue at hand with .ml, the megathread has an explanation and documentation for you https://lemmy.world/post/29072279
I disagree with lemmy.ml. but instances like these should still exist.
Nobody is calling for their shutdown, they can exist all they want, doesn’t mean everyone else has to contribute to their activity or federate with them
I feel like this post needs additional context. What the fuck am I looking at? Did the US have an invasion plan? Was it seriously considered? And if so when and by who?
It’s a blog post that uses a 1957 CIA invasion plan of Ukraine to frame the conflict in a very one-sided manner (ie. the CIA put Ukrainian nazis in power who then indirectly burned pro-Russian protestors to death in the Union House Building)
Even ignoring the very broad brush strokes the author paints with - I still don’t understand why he seems incapable of recognizing that two things can be true at once?
Like it is both possible for the the US to take advantage of Ukrainian tensions for their benefit - while also acknowledging that Russia is an imperialist power in and of itself and can also do the same.
I just don’t understand how you’d go through all the trouble of laying out how both sides are ripping up Ukraine and come out with the conclusion that it’s all the fault of Ukraine and the US.
Oh right we’re only allowed to make that connection if neolibs are in power…
It is Russian propaganda spread by tankies from the .ml instance.
