    I support freedom and justice, always and for everyone.

    Except in Ukraine since you aren’t interested in helping them be free.

      Are you aware that since 2022 any male between 18 and 60 can’t leave the country and will be arrested if they try to do so? Are you aware that your own government is in business partnership with countries like china who also supply russia in the war?

        First of all, you don’t know what my government is because I never told you. It might be China for all you know.

        Secondly, your “they are not free now due to the war, so it’s okay if Putin takes over their country and they lose their freedom in perpetuity” argument is a poor one.

          You seem to be confusing russia with saudi arabia or other dictatorships around the world the west is totally fine with. As far as i’m aware russian can leave their country if they want to.

          Unless you live on mars or an unknown island i do not need to know where you live to tell your government is corrupted, all governments are. If you don’t think so you are free to provide an example of a government that isn’t ruled by corrupted politicians and that never beat its own people.

            Cool. I was talking about Ukraine, where you think there is no freedom and Russia is liberating them.

                  Sending weapons to the corrupted and authoritarian ukrainian government so that they can fight a proxy war against russia is not helping ukrainian people

                    What do you think Ukraine would look like without help? There would be thousands of massacres like in Bucha and that’s just the start.
