That’s bullshit. I’m sorry, but I’m tired of apologists falling to Russian state lies. Falling over to Russian lies is not independent thinking.
The first rule of kremnology is that Russia always lies without a shame, as lies are usefull and they incur zero cost on the liar.
Russia invaded because they felt Ukraine was showing a bad example of slavic people becoming a democracy.
Also Russia has always had an affinity towards Ukrainian genocide. See Holodomor.
Also there is the narrative of lost colonial honor, Crimea, Catherine the great, and other idiotic pseudo-historical ramblings of a demented autocratic propagnada.

- watwut 2y agoThe amount of lying coming from Russia is the next level tho.
- fsloth 2y agoNo, the use of lying in Russian dialogue is quite next level. It’s way beyond what is expected in western international policy. It’s the ”i know they are lying, they know i know, and yet they lie”. One of the points is not to convince but to confuse.
