You know Vlad is a Ukrainian name too, right?

Wouldn't it be great if Ukraine were free from Russian aggression and the Ukrainian people could live again in peace in their own country.

[–] HomerianSymphony 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, and it would also be great if Ukrainian citizens in the Donbas didn't have to worry about being bombed by their own government.

Ha! And you were trying to convince me that you weren't a Putin supporter!? Next thing you'll be claiming he's a leftist!

[–] HomerianSymphony 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Why does that mean I'm a Putin supporter?

Are those the only two sides? Support Putin or support Ukraine indiscriminately bombing its citizens?

It absurd to me that you would look at two and a half years of Russian imperial invasion of Ukraine and seek to paint Ukraine as the aggressor. Nothing makes it more clear that you support Putin than this. It's so obviously counter factual that you're either short of news sources that aren't Kremlin-controlled because you're Russian, or you're for some reason a Putin supporter from elsewhere.

and seek to paint Ukraine as the aggressor

I did not do that.

I'm just pointing out that there are two sides to this conflict.

[–] davidagain 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Rubbish. There's Russian aggression, Putin's trophy war, Russian invasion, Russian false flag operations and repeated Russian imperialist annexation of peaceful neighbours.

and repeated Russian imperialist annexation of peaceful neighbours.

Are you calling Ukraine peaceful?

Because this all started with a presidential coup in Ukraine in which at least 26 people were killed, including 10 policemen.

[–] davidagain 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, this all started with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. You're just repeating kremlin lies that no one believes outside Russia.

I get exactly 0% of my information from Russia because I don’t know any Russian.

I get a lot of my information from Wikipedia. Here, have a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_of_Dignity

You know that doesn't follow logically, no?
