Why non-Western countries tend to see Russia's war very differently
Why non-Western countries tend to see Russia's war very differently
The West appears blind to its own hypocrisy and narrow interests in calling for a rules-based order.
I think each country has to decide for themselves what they're going to do about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Especially those countries who have been on the receiving end of US unilateralism as described in the article.
Despite all the past offenses of the US and the west, in this instance I think the west is acting as a force for good. Ukraine was invaded by Russia under false pretenses of "denazification" . The Ukrainians are asking for help to resist an invader. We should help them.
There is no scenario here where Ukraine can win against Russia. All this conflict does is prolong the suffering of the people there. The only ethical thing to do is to help find a diplomatic solution and encourage negotiations. Unfortunately, western powers have been doing the opposite of that encouraging Ukraine to continue fighting and sending weapons. The reality is that the west doesn’t actually care about the people of Ukraine, and just wants to use them as pawns to drag Russia into a prolonged conflict there. It’s a ghoulish thing to do.
Ahh yes, appeasement. Such a great plan. Next they invade Poland and you can just give them that as well to make sure that they don't suffer. We can just go through a list of countries and give them one a year, no suffering.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it
Because the West is hypocritical and selfish. You can't seriously expect the world to support you against Russia when you just spent 20 years on a murder spree in the Middle East.
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.
Countless dead Vietnam, Iraq, Afganistan, Libya, Syria....
Many in Cuba impoverished by an unjust embargo..
Do we need more examples? The West is extremely hypocritical.
