[@KaraZiasapiens]

What's interesting is that his ridiculous argument makes more sense in the reverse; i.e., that RUSSIA isn't a real country, per se, but belongs to Ukraine. I would love to see Zelensky tell Putin that, and demand that he step down and accede to the true government of the Kievan Rus.

@@MadafakinRio Isn't that more out of ignorance? Many Slavs would probably be classified as Russian. Some, who are more familiar, like having family or friends from a specific country, can probably tell different cultures apart. I guess it also doesn't help that Slavic countries don't get much representation through entertainment, and if there is some it's usually trough Russia.

[@eekus1494]

@@BabushkaBrigade Trump wasn't being used by Putin, he was working with Putin. In 2016, Team Trump made sure the Republican platform didn't have any reference to supporting Ukraine in their struggle against Russia: "Trump campaign guts GOP's anti-Russia stance on Ukraine." That headline is from 7/18/16. Two years later, on 7/18/18, Trump stood next to Putin and lied to side with Russia against the United States. Trump was sabotaging the relationships we have with our best allies--Russia's foes. His Secretary of Defense said as much when he resigned saying he believed in the need for America to have alliances aligned with our values to counter bad actors, citing Russia and China, who wanted free rein to impose their will. Before he became Trump's campaign manager, Manafort worked for the Russian puppet in charge of Ukraine that the country eventually ejected. An associate Manafort worked with--including in his time with Trump--was sanctioned in early 2021 for being a Russian agent. Rudy Giuliani's Ukrainian associate helping him try to smear Biden was sanctioned by the Treasury Dept in August 2020 for being an "active Russian agent."

He also lied about and encouraged the spread of a deadly disease thinking it best for his reelection.

As an armenian in Ukraine I can testify that this nation has the biggest and purest heart. I consider Ukraine my homeland and its people my people

President Kelensky is excellent! More power to Ukraine! Peace and Freedom too!!

[@danielwhyatt3278]

Nice. I want that bracelet now as well.

[@ShainAndrews]

Do not push the bracelet fad. If you want to actually do something donate the equivalent cost to humanitarian aid. World does not need millions of worthless bracelets just so people can "appear" involved only to be discarded later. Hell South Park even did an episode on it. That should be enough reason to give you pause.

@@ShainAndrews absolutely agree that a bracelet will not make a difference- but it can influence people to donate - having a token of purchase or donation is a great way to motivate people - all charities do it - anyway I liked the idea of wearing my hate so I made some - and i am making a bunch for whoever donates to berlintoborders they are in need of funding and making real change happen for a lot of migrants
