What I find distasteful is America (and it’s allies) playing up the suffering of Ukranians when it is quite happy to expedite human suffering around the world that aligns with it’s own economic or geopolitical interests. It’s quite happy to manufacture lies and propaganda that people - with the best will in the world like yourself - fall for hook, line and sinker. Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. 40 beheaded babies, etc.
If it can’t hold those views consistently, and apply it universally, then it’s just an emotive punchline in a propaganda device.
I’m also firmly of the view that America will let Ukraine down just as it let down the people of Afghanistan.
Similarly objectionable is your efforts to slur a legitimate political movement - Scottish independence - as some kind of Russian funded disruption effort yet your blind spot that the same principles would apply to the UK leaving the EU. Conservative MPs, Labour MPs and Farage have all taken money from RT. Although we are at this point moving some distance from the subject of the thread so I’ll leave it there.
