Ukraine is not a NATO member, it’s allied with it. NATO basically rejected Ukraine but decided to back them when Russia decided to expand its borders, not to save Ukraine or smth but because it’s against their interests. And I don’t care for Russia’s democracy, I don’t even like the current Russia government. I just don’t like NATO either because it’s also an imperialist tool. They are BOTH evil
Ur certainly right about Ukraine just being an ally country, def misspoke there so that’s my b. I’m just confused how you’ve managed to do the rhetorical acrobatics required to label Ukraine or nato as the aggressors here simply for having alliances of Ukraine having weapons. Russia is the country who started conflicts in 2014 and 2022 with the goal of taking land by force, yes? If you can’t acknowledge that reality then idk what there is to talk abt
not supporting the exploitative conditions that troops go through is one thing (and is absolutely valid), but you’re straight up bullshitting lmao. NATO did not attack first, while the Ukraine-Russia war is def able to be viewed as a proxy war for larger interests, that does not discredit the actual start of the war, being Russia’s invasion and annexation of Crimea back in 2014. Russia was indeed the initial aggressor in this war, not Ukraine (in which you redirect responsibility to NATO)
I never said Ukraine started the war, I said NATO attacked Russia first, in response to the OP. Russia attacked Ukraine first, then Ukraine fought back right, but between Russia and NATO, NATO attacked Russia first through Ukraine. And Ukraine is not a member of NATO. Which is why I said NATO isn’t a victim here.
Both sides have targeted and killed civilians, and both sides are imperialist. They are both world powers trying to gain more power at the expense of normal people’s lives. Also, Russian aggression against Ukraine is not Russian aggression against NATO. But NATO has involved itself in hope of weakening Russia and its influence, which is why I said it’s not the victim here and rather they entered into a conflict against Russia first.
