I've seen both libs and chuds say this shit. Like take 5 minutes to learn about the events that led up to this invasion instead of assuming big bad crazy Putin just woke up one day and decided to invade. They literally have no idea why the war is happening and have just decided it's not worth looking into and must've just happened out of nowhere without any causes.
How could that camel have collapsed under a single piece of straw when it had just been standing there for so long?!
They literally have no idea why the war is happening and have just decided it’s not worth looking into
Its not like we haven't had a media firehose of horseshit spewing across every screen in the country for the last six months. Libs aren't making any kind of conscious choice. They're simply eating from the same neoliberal slop bucket full that gave us the Steele Dossier and "COVID can't hurt us because we have such a great health care system!"
Garbage in, garbage out. If you ask why Putin invaded, you'll get answers ranging from "He wanted to use Stalin's Big Spoon and steal all their grain" to "Russia is doing imperial expansionism, just like when they conquered Crimea and North Ossetia" because that's the history they find every time they turn on the TV.
On the flip side, if you ask the conservatives what is going on, you get a bunch of shit about COVID bio-weapons labs in Ukraine, Sneaky China doing a fifth column to pit all the white people against each other, and Ukraine being an elaborate ploy to distract us all from Illegal Immigrants On Our Border. Again, not because no conservative has ever looked into anything, but because this is what conservative media trumpets to their listeners 24/7.
