Previous megathreads:
ask them when the last time they thought about ukraine before 2022 was
ask them how often they put themselves in the shoes of their perceived enemies, not as a way of feeling sorry for their enemies, but as a way of understanding their motivations and strategies
ask them if there was ever a time in their lives the news got them riled up about something, only for them to realize they were being lied to or misled later on
ask them what they would do if certain commodities they take for granted were no longer on the shelves because someone across the world decided to blockade the shipments
Ain't no penetrating these propagandized galaxy brains. To them, the Russians have just always been the enemy, they're both unironic fans of Reagan, despite being Canucks. Any means are justified to them of course, they're well insulated from the chance of actually doing any fighting or anything so they've got no real skin in the game, it's just culture war shit as usual. I can explain that Russia has always been unjustifiably been viewed as the enemy empire, ever since the revolution and beyond, and that just confirms their preconceptions: Communism was bad so it was good to try and keep the Tsar in power.
Pardon my cope, these threads keep me sane among madpeople
