They are so caught up with hating the west that they don’t see that both Russia and the US is expantionist, imperialist, capitalist pseudo-democracies. I can see how western mainstream media is filled with propaganda to win the support of their imperialist ways, but I can’t for the life of me see why Russian media wouldn’t also be that.
Sure, the war in Ukraine could be about protecting Donbas from the eveils of capitalism, but how is bringing them under Russian influence going to do that?
At least we kill them instead of prolonging their suffering.
