When people are moralizing from a position of gross hypocrisy they are fair game. Don't like it? Don't engage in it.
" Transgression" ?? lol you mean illegal wars that have less justification credibility than Putins war on Ukraine?
You want to talk about the war and listen to stuff you will never see in the MSM now, as it tries to make out that Russia is somehow unique in engaging in wars like this? That's fine by me too.
Zelensky, in 2019, tried to float the idea of elections in the Donbas as a means to try to break the impasse on the Minsk2 agreement. It was met with a nationalist backlash that saw a mob march on his offices and so he did a uturn. Since then he has taken a more right wing approach which has seen the arrest of political opponents and journalists that wish to see the Ukrainian civil war in the Dobas region brought to an end with a negotiated settlement
Early in 2021 there was a clampdown on 3 TV stations owned by pro Russian Ukrainian oligarchs and all three were shut down on the grounds that they refer to the civil war in Ukraine that has raged since 2014 as a " civil war". We have heard much of late about Putins autocratic censoring of the media but NOTHING about Zelenskys that preceded it
In March last year Zelensky announced a national commitment to retake Crimea, that means war with Russia, in case you are so lost to the current propaganda that it would appear as an alien concept. That was followed by a US commitment to supply arms and training to Ukrainian forces. The first shipments started arriving in December.
So, making no value judgements, the sequence has seen a growing decline in support for Zelenskys party, a clampdown on media with Zelensky shutting down people wishing to see a negotiated settlement of the Donbas conflict ,followed by a defacto declaration of war against Russia over Crimea along with military aid being supplied by NATO just prior to the Russian invasion.
The Russians knew that the Ukrainians were on the march to retake Crimea and decided to attack before they made their move on it. You won't see any of this in the MSM coverage today because they don't want people to know this, for obvious reasons.
The Russian attack on Ukraine is an extremely hard watch and will be prosectuted with many war crimes imo but that doesn't mean that the full story should be censored out by the western MSM. A negotiated settlement was ALWAYS the best option imo and is far better than the carnage we see going on today but too many people decided that the best solution was to keep poking the Russians in the eye with their proxy Ukrainian stick., a strategy that has led to this and now they act as though they had FA to do with it, hands to cheeks in supposed horror. That's what the western propaganda system is keeping from people. They don't have to censor the media because, just as in the illegal wars the hypocrites in the West have engaged in, they are complicit in it.
