The narrative is beginning to resemble the “Afghanistan Papers”. 20 years of public lies / 20 years of private truths

Slava ukraine winter war 2.0

No need for any alternative viewpoints to balance reality over never-ending aggression.
She even pointed out the USSR leaving Afghanistan, but couldn't think of another power far farther away who did the same but only after 20 years of death, destruction and richer weapons manufactures thanks to poorer Americans.

[@JameBlack]

No comparison here. America never wanted to conquer Afghanistan or any other country. It was just a reaction to 9/11.

[@franklinblunt69]

An invasion that became opportunity for occupation, corruption, & other malfeasance.

[@kevinjenner9502]

Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and the US invasion was declared illegal by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan on Sept 15, 2004.

Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Fixed the title for you

[@jonobester5817]

I thought you people were professionals?? Trump is on Russia’s side!

[@nemomen14]

not Ukraine, nor Russia benefit from this war. go figure who does

[@shadowwolfkano]

War benefits the rich. Ukraine's public utilities have been dismantled and privatized. Russia has solidified it's hold on Crimea and access to the black sea. The people who suffer are the Ukrainian people, the sanctioned Russian people, and the war conscripts forced to fight a war they didn't ask for. Ukraine will never be the same.

[@Hookooo]

As always, conspiracy nut theories benefit from human stupidity.

[@world-traveler880]

Then Russia should leave

[@TomTom-rh5gk]

The US is the only one who benefits.
