    Am i the only one that every time i see news about the Ukraine war cant help but think about how sad it is that the CIA successfully managed to make a bunch of people who should have been USSR citizens living peaceful lives kill each other? I’m glad Lenin didn’t live long enough to see it. He would be so sad.

      It really is the real tragedy of this war, and proxy wars the US causes. They turn people in the absolute worst version of themselves they could be, instead of caring, kind individuals, we get fascists. And people who should be friends, neighbours, colleagues, are turned into enemies who blindly hate and kill each other.

        The problem is that what we see as horrific tragedy, our enemies see as a great victory

        And people who should be friends, neighbours, colleagues, are turned into enemies who blindly hate and kill each other.

        Another way of phrasing that is: people who in another time would have fought together against the West (and might do so again one day) are now killing each other instead. From the perspective of the West, this is a dream come true.
