If I lived there and my only media source was Russia I'd fall for it, too, I'm sure.
My point - poorly made - was how pointman (and Russians) are the same as the pro-war propaganda westerners who thought Iraq was somehow a threat to western civilization and needed to be obliterated. If you were in support of the Iraq war, but not in support of this invasion, idk, maybe reflect on that.
Right-wing people start wars. Why is that and why don't right-wing people identify what it is in their nature and belief system that leads them to always ####ing up the world and killing people? It's always the same type of guy anywhere in the world from what I can see. Do liberal countries attack other countries and murder civilians? I can't think of an example.

It’s worth keeping in mind that Ukraine and enthusiastic ally Poland are both quite right-wing countries. For example, they expressed the highest approval ratings for Trump (Ukraine 44, Poland 51) out of every country in Europe (by comparison, Germany and Sweden expressed 13 and 18 per cent approval).

Poland is being admirably welcoming to Ukrainian refugees. They also have an extreme right-wing ethno-nationalist government that has muzzled the media, subverted the judiciary, and vilifies liberal values around culture, gender, and sexuality - Poland today is basically Trump’s wet dream of what America will look like when all his opposition is crushed. And they’re the most avid opponents of Russia in Europe.
