The problem is not that Russia is ruthless, dishonest, ruthless, and evil. They have always been bad.

The problem is that the US is now also dishonest, ruthless, and evil.

We used to stand for good things.

But starting with Johnson and running all the way through the third term of Obama we have just been a gangster country stomping around 3rd world counties and not really doing what we said we were doing.

We are openly supporting a dictator in Ukraine who has jailed all political opposition and uses openly neo-nazi paramilitaries to kill political opponents in eastern Ukraine.

Joe Biden will lose the Ukraine war and abandon Ukraine after he gets his 10%.

People in DC will get rich.

Thousands of little people will die in the war and be abandoned after the corrupt regime makes some cash.

Then they will go start a new war somewhere.

People in Europe froze to death this winter because Joe Biden bombed the Nord Stream Pipeline. This is now an open secret. Everyone knows the United States did it.

You can't even deny these things because the biden regime was so bumbling and stupid about it.

The United States are not the good guys anymore. We will not be again until we cast off this illegitimate corrupt evil regime.

Remember when we picked the new leaders of Ukraine after a violent coup in Maidan in 2014 that actually was armed, and actually was everything that they tell us J6 was and more, and after storming parliament, and driving the elected president out of the country, while attacking his motorcade with military style weapons, we immediately recognized the anti-Moscow government we installed in Kiev?

John McCain was there in Maidan Square cheering on the violent protesters. Can you imagine if a senior Russia official was there at J6 cheering on the protests? It didn't happen, but the first rule of fascist propaganda is to accuse the other side of whatever you are doing that normies won't like, and so they had to make it seem as if Russia was behind J6, given that we were the ones behind hyper nationalist and anti-Russian govt in Kiev.

Kiev apologists justify this by saying that Yanukovych was not carrying out the will of the people. Well, there are always elections, but neocons don't ever trust important issues to the voters of any country, do they.

Oh yes, there are elections where the new leader "won in a landslide," but millions in Donbas did not vote at all, probably due to the violent coup that they had just seen overturn the last election.
