      There’s no treason in sabotaging an unjust war

      The treason was starting the war. In the first place

        Agreed that the US should not have started this by backing the 2014 fascist coup.

          It’s not worth even arguing with people like you that support colonialism and empire. I’m just registering this here that people can see straight through your shitty, projecting delusions.

            that support colonialism and empire

            I don’t support the US though?

            Did this war not start because the US backed the 2014 fascist coup? And the subsequent killing of ethnic Russians in Eastern Ukraine like Donbas and Crimea for resisting?

            These were the results of the 2010 elections.

            Eastern Ukrainians don’t support the current fascist gov, and even welcomed the Russian army as liberators in 2022.

              welcomed as liberators

              Oof. Not sure if English is your first language, comrade, but you should be aware that this direct quote, “we will be welcomed as liberators” was used as justification for the invasion of Iraq by Cheney, and has such a negative connotation that it is now only used sarcastically.

              Saying it evokes the strong memory of it being a bullshit statement to justify doing something awful. And, based on what you’re saying… that assessment rings true.

                The title of the article itself uses that phrase so not much I can do about that.

                It’s detailed and lists tons of sources and images. And I can indeed see this happening based on the shit the post-2014 puppet gov had been doing to eastern Ukrainians.
