If attacks to civilian infrastructure and election interference are enough to claim war, Germany should be in the first instance at war with the US and Ukraine according to that logic, given the explosion of the Nordstream (much more important and evident than reported drinking water alteration or whatever you claim of DHL planes with incendiary devices). Also, Ukraine should be at war with the US for its interference in the election process in 2014, where the democratically elected leader was toppled in a blatant west-backed coup.

You know what Georgia and Ukraine have in common? They're in the Russian sphere of influence area and have been for the past century. What's happening is that the west keeps meddling in the Russian sphere of influence and Russia responds in the only way it can: militarily. Russia exhausted the possibilities of diplomacy with the west, warned repeatedly of the consequences of western-alignment of Ukraine (which, again, was done antidemocratically in 2014). That's the reason why Russia invaded Ukraine, because its diplomacy, soft power and interference were weaker than those of the west in maintaining a sphere of influence. Believe it or not, history didn't begin in 2022.

The EU should stop the US-directed meddling in Russia's sphere of influence, and start building relations with the countries that are actually sharing a continent with it. It's just too racist and too subservient to US interests to do so.

Putin is our fascist problem and people appeasing Putin are also a part of the problem.

Putin is a fascist and that's a problem, but he's not the one pushing to cut our healthcare and education and pensions budgets, he does that in Russia. He's not the one threatening our minorities and our women, he does that in Russia. Europe is more than capable of having fascism by itself without the help of Putin, and blaming everything on a Russian conspiracy is, well, a conspiracy. Russia isn't nearly powerful or influential enough to be mostly responsible for the fascist problem in the EU, there are a lot more material conditions thst give raise to that.

Stop fucking cheering for war. Stop your warmongering attitudes, stop presenting Europe as the fighting ground for WW3, you DO NOT WANT to see war in the EU, and it's absofuckinglutely not too late to go back.

Also, Ukraine should be at war with the US for its interference in the election process in 2014, where the democratically elected leader was toppled in a blatant west-backed coup.

And here you are, laying bare that you're just repeating pro Russian propaganda. Calling the right to protest a coup. Not the occupation of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine is the problem but the people rising up.

He’s not the one threatening our minorities and our women, he does that in Russia.

Yeah, Russia is just there doing some domestic stuff we don't need to care about. Russia isn't occupying parts of Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia. Russia isn't expanding westwards. Just sit idly by when tens of thousands of non-Russian children get kidnapped, put into reeducation camps, to then fight for Russia. Just sit idly by when Russian agents outright attack German barracks and twiddle your thumbs. Other issues are way more important than caring about that campaign of extermination in Eastern Europe within the borders of an EU-aspirant.

stop presenting Europe as the fighting ground for WW3

Good I didn't do it. Another Russian propaganda tool is to push back against claims that were never made, acting as if anyone but Russia was the aggressor, trying to move the conversation into Russia's genocide being just legitimate self-defense.

You're nothing but a Russian propagandist, whether you're aware of it or not.

"But wouldn't a Russian propagandist deny that bad things are happening inside Russia?" the propaganda playbook would make you ask in return, admitting to some criticism but brush it off as a domestic problem far away, trying to cast doubts on your underlying intentions. Russia's propagandists up the illusion of a broader political landscape. Put the AfD on Germany's far right, put the BSW on Germany's far left, put appeasers somewhere in between, and divert attention away from Russia's attempts at conquering Europe.

Seeing as you're radicalised against Russia to that degree, any further discussion is useless, I won't change your mind and you won't change mine by making false claims of genocide and failing to understand the slightest nuance beyond US state department propaganda
