- Cyph0n 1y agoWell, that’s my point. This is the only major ongoing conflict where the US and major Western powers are virtually unconditionally backing the “bad guys”. So it makes sense that there would be more attention and pushback on this one versus others.
- JumpCrisscross 1y agoHmm, thank you. Hadn’t considered that. (It’s interesting because it requires disentangling anti-American sentiments from the equation.)
