not sure if this has been posted here before, but it's not new. i felt like this was a pretty solid summary of the devolving situation in eastern europe. i think it lands where a lot of us are, which is that the working people of ukraine are suffering due to the profitable war mongering of capitalist powers (but also, the ukrainian state genuinely has a nazi problem, not that russia's invasion had anything to do with that really).

    Word. It doesn't get brought up anymore but the President's son had a free money job on the UA state gas company board. That's how in bed they are with the US.

      Because like with Hillary's emails, Trumpists latched on to real instances of corruption and turned them into wild conspiracy theories to try to take down Hillary/Biden. So now anyone concerned with the actual corruption at the core is lumped in with right-wing conspiracy theorists.

      Doesn't it? I still bring up the Hunter/Burisma connection all the time IRL.
