“It’s cute that people think we need to be manipulated to join NATO.”
Proceeds to obliterate any remaining doubt that they have indeed been manipulated into NATO bootthroating and Russophobia.
Lemmy? I don’t know, people, you’ve been seeming sus lately. Almost like we have a Redditor among us
Looking at the nearly constant number of downvotes to every non-natoid post and comment, there are around 3-5 people there really devoted to spreading their bootlicking. Unfortunately, said bootlicking is also more or less silently promoted there instead of being purged.
I always find it funny how libs always seem to ignore the obviously fashy stuff Ukraine does, no matter the evidence, and how Ukraine violated the Minsk agreement repeatedly.
I particularly love how western media has been openly talking about nazi problem in Ukraine and dangers of NATO encroachment for decades. Now all of a sudden all of that’s been memory holed.
Watching the media do a whiplash-inducing 180 during the lead-up to the war was one of those moments where you’re like “wow they’re really just manufacturing this shit right in front of our eyes, huh?” You can see pre-2022 there was a ton of news coverage about how Ukraine was one of the most corrupt countries and was infested with nazis and then suddenly we’re spammed with articles about how wholesome Ukraine is being bullied by Russia for no particular reason (and NATO must save them, naturally). Any criticism of Ukraine or the west’s involvement is immediately shut down with “that’s Russian propaganda!”
Side note: I watched my neighbors put up Ukrainian flags on their houses all around the same time earlier this year, and as of about a month ago all the flags are gone lol. I guess the war isn’t entertaining for Americans anymore.
