The geopolitical ramifications are far more significant for a war in Europe than the endless wars in the Middle East or North Africa. Never mind we hear constant whining about "Free Palestine".

To be fair, this is much more significant for several reasons.

First, this is Russia, a nuclear power and only 30 years ago one of the big two in the Cold War. They have the potential to bring World War III, unlike any of the aforementioned countries.

Second, Ukraine might be the largest country to voluntarily give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for peace. If Ukraine doesn't come out on top after this, its distinctly possible no one will ever disarm again, and many more might seek their own.

Third, Ukraines political and economic situation has been nothing like the aforementioned countries, several of which have never really known peace or prosperity. A "new" conflict there is practically the status quo. If war can come to one place at relative peace and prosperity, others in a similar situation better take note.

To be fair, if any other continent had managed to be near conflict free for over 20 years then people might be equally upset if conflict had suddenly broke out there.

To be fair, you're ignoring history.

Which event in particular?

there was the bombing of serbia. putin has talked about it a few times and while western eurpean countries and north america were projecting the ukrainian flag onto their national monuments russia projected the cover of a new york times article celebrating the bombing of serbia. there was a massive media campaign to promote westren intervetion in that conflict also, its amazing how it has been forgotten given that we were fighting evil itself. but america and its allies are always fighting evil, today in ukraine against ethnic russians, yesterday in our own nations against our own citizens who refused to get vaccinated.

i guess that is right, the conflict in serbia ended a little more then twenty years ago but the conflict in ukraine has been going on for eight years. if you start the clock befor the conflict in ukraine broke out there was the conflict in serbia. if you start the clock after the conflict in serbia there was the conflict in ukraine.

It's the Cause du Jour. It's useful even if they aren't true believers.

Most of the virtue signaling assholes online don't do shit for the causes they purport to support, they really only care about how they look.

  1. I wouldn't care about this war if I wasn't paying for it

  2. I did care about the other ones, because of the violent rapefugees taking over europe. At least the Ukrainians are sending women and children.

edit: 3. eu is using this to implement the first phase of a social credit program while no one's paying attention

and keep the green pass while making everyone believe covid if over

and they just gave WHO decisional power over the whole world in health matters

At least the Ukrainians are sending women and children.

That's the difference between economic migrants and real refugees.

Unlike all those other countries Ukraine didnt give any reason for the attack.

Putins aggression is purely imperialistic in motivation. His justification equals almost word for word Hitlers justification for his invasion of Poland. Also like Hitler, Putin wont stop with Ukraine if he's successful.

Most importantly, Putins aggression exposes the weakness of the west to the whole world, especially the weakness of Bidens USA. The weakness of the EU has been self-evident for decades. This is the end of the pax americana, no matter what the outcome of the war will be. Maybe the west will recover but I doubt it. Nobody in the western world will lift a finger, take a risk, let alone sacrifice his life for this globalist orwellian hell that our leaders are planning for us. Of course the Russians arent a beacon of hope either. Theyre already exposing their own weakness in this war.

Ukraine made a huge mistake by betting on the west. Theyre right in betting on western values but the west itself has abandoned its own values so there wont be much assistance from this side. The future of freedom isnt in the west. Only a courageous people and a strong and committed military can grant freedom in this time of global degeneration.

So far most of the scenes out of Ukraine have been fake, they prevented citizens from fleeing, shelled their own people, are a human trafficking hub, have the servers with corrupt election data, have US biolabs in them, extreme corruption involving Biden and the Clinton's, all of MSM is backing Ukraine, and all info coming out of Russia has been cut off to the west...... Something seems off here doesn lt it.

Same plan, CIA installed in 2014, Viktor Yanukovich escaped with his life intact though.

Rinse and Repeat.

Buuuuuut... This can get us into the NWO Great Reset - Population reduction to under 500mil. through Nuclear War.

Since ToxVax is too slow and people are reluctant by majority.

It is as if they are only outraged when the people being bombed are white or something.
