Ukraine is the only one suffering the consequences of the “west’s” actions here my friend.

Russia has lost a lot of lives in that war too. Not that there's much sympathy there, they are the ones who attacked Ukraine, but still

Yeah, so it's the west that's been bombing, shooting and raping civilians in Ukraine? How could I have not noticed that before?

And you are not my friend.

Because it was the west that decided to invade in 2014, it was the west that made Ukraine feel so fucking vulnerable for 8 years that they decided to turn into NATO, and then it was the west again who sent tanks into Kiev. Yeah.

I'm not blind to not see that this benefits the US, but honestly, it looks like an opportunity for the west, not something they provoked. If Russia didn't want the west to benefit so much from it maybe they shouldn't have had invaded in 2014 because the people of a separate sovereign country revolted against the Russian puppet President.
