I haven't seen leftists defending Russia at all, but have witnessed scores of right-wing Americans and Canadians garbling that Russian D.
I have. Not so much that they are all rah, rah, russia, but because the west is the one supporting Ukraine. They seem to believe russia was, in fact, there to "de-nazify" Ukraine, and other russian propaganda. You know, the country who had recently ousted a putin puppet, then elected a Jewish man in a landslide, was so in need of a russia to fight the nazis that have over run the country.
Generally what you'll see is right wing types directly supporting Russia (because they hate gay and trans people) and a certain stripe of leftists who will lean more into "NATO expansionism", "Western proxy war" and all that other thoroughly debunked nonsense that, while not explicitly pro-Russia, is all directly lifted from Kremlin propaganda talking points.
You need two (or more) proxies to have a proxy war and looking at the belligerents and who supports them it's clear who is who: Ukraine is South Korea's proxy, Russia the one of North Korea.
TIL criticizing NATO is pro russian
It is if you are doing it in a discussion about whether or not Russia should be allowed to enact wars of aggression...
The only way to get that from what I said would be;
A) a serious lack of reading comprehension.
Or
B) intentionally misconstruing in bad faith.
You're more than welcome to tell us all which it was.
I've seen plenty of tankies "defend Russia" M8. Especially on lemmy fucking tons of erm. What rock are you living in. If anything it's mainly tankies,neo libs,socialists (like alot of you lot). I see get involved in this harry kissenger pick-a-side war-hawk bull-shit I mean neo-libs,socialists,tankies aren't exactly the brightest
Me personally fuck Putin and fuck zelensky. I don't care who wins. I just wish for a end to the senseless war.Stop the war stop civilians getting harmed or worse. And stop people's personal property and livelihoods getting destroyed. There are no winners in war only losers. And in the end of the day. You can mend broken infrastructure. But you can't mend the dead or maimed

I feel like it's the same dozen howling assholes.

Yeah, you lost me there... Last time the world tried appeasing an asshole with conquest delusions in the hope they'd cut it out it didn't work out to well
There's 8 billion people in the world. After this war and all the dead there will be 8.2 billion people in the world.
Society is what we have spent centuries crafting.
One side of this war wants to completely destroy society and push further into Europe, trying to reclaim their land holdings from hundred years ago.
The other side just wants to exist and be left alone.
I very much care about who wins
Stop the war
How?
Me personally fuck Putin and fuck zelensky. I don't care who wins.
Congratulations, you're who OP is talking about.
