As a Canadian teacher, I’ve met so many Ukrainian refugee families and seen the result of the trauma caused by the Russian invasion first hand. Knowing that these fascist loving tankies are out here spreading such abhorrent lies and propaganda fills me with an overwhelming sense of hatred on behalf of the children that I watch struggle every day to find some feeling of safety, and believe that this is now their home.

I will take a dig at these malicious fucks every single time I see them attempt to pulls their lies from the dredges of .ml and plaster them on any community that isn’t in their sphere of influence. And I take great pleasure in watching Yog and his Ilk writhe every time they realize they can’t just rule 1 me to make the truth stop flowing.

    The West may have baited Russia but Russia didn’t need to take that bait. Regardless, when your own people are being massacred just across the border I can understand if it’s hard to watch and not do anything. Honestly I’d probably have made the same decision if it had been me.

    Was it a “bait”? I feel like baits usually don’t have actual consequences on that level and is that not only half of the reason why Russia invaded?

    I thought the joining NATO thing was the main reason for invasion to make sure that there is no NATO base directly next to Russia?

      That may have been the biggest reason and the straw that broke the camel’s back, but not the only one. The previous eight years of ethnic cleansing in Russian-speaking areas by the Banderite-aligned government was also a factor.
