Russian failed politician and TV host Ksenia Sobchak has said "What we see today is Russia fighting against the US and Ukraine is a hostage".This claim from Sobchak triggered me. Only 5 percent of Russians blame their own government for fueling the war in Ukraine. So. Thread⬇️
Sobchak calls Ukraine and Russia "brotherly nations", at the same time says "Not a single Russian politician would return Crimea to Ukraine, as it would be a political suicide". Hints America fuels and provokes. ⬇️
This is a common position among many Russians, even those, calling themselves liberal. "If you don't want war, why does the West keep supplying weapons to Ukraine?" - this phrase makes me vicious. Why?⬇️
Russia occupies our territories, kills our people, steals our property. But if we decide to get weapons, we are provocative? So if we don't want to provoke Russia, we should just lay down and surrender Ukraine?
Russian imperialism, like any other, is a threat to humanity. Because it is just wrong for one nation to be better than the other. Democracy is far from ideal, yet humans have not invented anything better than this. Empires must stay in the past.
