Just that. Someone uploaded this photo of Zelensky allegedly taking a selfie in Kupiansk, which is supposed to be a city already taken by Russian forces. I am not really informed of the situation in Kupiansk, but this is not the issue for me.
In the Politics subreddit, where this was published, the comments are overwhelmingly pro Ukraine, which, well, checks out. But what I find kind of trollish, are the comments surrounding Zelenksy. It’s like reading the five-star comments of the Google Play Services app in the Play Store, or something. They repeatedly talk about how big and glorious are Zelensky’s balls? Praising his balls, even though, he is a smaller guy? They praise the bold actions of Zelensky calling him a European hero, imagining his heroic dialogues as in some cheap hollywood movie, etc. To me, it just feels utterly fake? I mean, AI fake.
What do you make of this, guys? Please, remember, it’s not about the conflict itself.
Wow. This forum.
“Ukraine has corruption so…” (Implied: the US should let Russia invade and annex them)
“Russia and the US have some details in common if you blur your eyes so they are morally and politically identical”
“Zelensky sucks”
“How can anyone know what truth is in this topsy-turvy world?”
This type of double standard attitude…
You didn’t say this of NATO invading Yugoslavia did you?
Or for that matter Iraq, Afghanistan or Lybia.
Why not?
And the difference here is is that Russia isn’t even demanding a full-on regime change for a minority of people unlike the US/NATO.
Russia just wanted the parts where a majority of people wants an out, to be able to step out, negotiations where Ukraine steps down on it’s aggression against Russian minorities and promises not to use their country for nuclear missiles aimed at Russia in areas where Russian minorities live.
They’re not accusing Ukraine of having weapons of mass destruction without proof.
Yes, the US with it’s current concentration camps, legalized slavery in prisons, demanding peace prizes for conducting war against Venezuela among many many countries it invaded, tech oligarchs getting front seats and openly bragging about their political influence, openly bragging about supporting a genocide and calling anyone who protest that genocide peacefully terrorists, with a history of starting out with slave owners on stolen land, “demanding to be free”, which meant not having to pay taxes for tea, then continue with hundreds of genocides and having a civil war over the discussion whether or not slavery was bad, is indeed nowhere near similar to a country that decided to dethrone their monarchs, install socialism, was a thriving success, but with fossil fuels still determining winners and losers in the 19th and 20th century it got corrupt, is now capitalist but slowly moving back leftwards with eyes more and more looking to the socialist China as not only has the fossil fuel world going through massive changes that benefited China, Russia and the Middle East more than the US, but the energy production as a whole is going through a revolution not seen since the industrial revolution that’s pulling every country on the planet on a much more balanced scale.
