What it's really baffling is actually how the majority of westerners aren't seeing this NATO/US - Russia with the same scope as the non-western countries, since this time is as obvious as the "Iraq has Weapons of Mass Destruction" thing in 2003.
Guys, I know indoctrination is a hell of a drug, but damn, this has reached cult levels already.
Look no further than Australia saying that it needs to invade the Solomon islands for "security reasons" because they're starting to warm up to China. In the same breath as condemning the Ukraine invasion due to NATO encroachment toward Russia's borders.

They posted a false assertion that was never said then argued against it. My response was appropriate for someone trying to seed disinformation
Westerners are majorly racists. The news media anchors, citizens, various publications make it very open. The refugees that were entering Poland also made it clear who was blocked, harassed and beaten up. All non whites.
"bubububububut I am not racist! I have a friend of a friend who is POC!" or something like that.
The amount of people who have made that phrase problematic is wrong on many levels. It is what Nazis and racists do. Nazis first tilted Hindu Swastika to a 45° on left and made it their symbol, now they are using Nordic mythology symbols as their own. They take common language and symbols and adopt them to grift into masses' discussions.
