Those are in contradiction. If someone is being irrationally controlling, then standing up to them and trying to protect their victims isn't "pushing buttons".
- 0xy 5y agoThere is no contradiction there. The US being incompetent and pushing buttons can be the motivation for actions that are unjustified in scope. I think the disconnect here is that you believe me being able to describe Putin's motivations means I somehow agree with them. Claims like Putin is invading to expand territory is conspiracy theory, and likely Ukrainian propaganda (like the debunked Ghost of Kyiv and Snake Island propaganda that covered HN). During war, both sides spill propaganda and lies. Just because one country is clearly in the wrong doesn't mean you should dutifully swallow the other side's propaganda.
