I'm sorry for you, i just want to say that it makes a huge difference to hear that regular people aren't indifferent or supportive of this. I mean i guess attitudes vary, but the main thing is probably that we see that you're just like us and that you're stuck in a tough spot. Protests send an important message that will probably have real impact on how Russia will be treated the coming decades. In the past wars have fuelled hatred towards entire populations as "animals" and so on. I hope we in the west can separate between russian people and govt, just like we don't assume germans are nazis.

Russia/Ukraine For Dummies: There are two large areas within the Ukraine that are INDEPENDENT of the Ukraine. They are the DPR (Donetsk People's Republic) and the LPR (Luhansk People's Republic). BOTH areas receive humanitarian aid from Russia because the Ukrainian government refuses to do anything for them. The Ukrainian government has begun to systematically kill the people of the DPR and the LPR by bombing them, starving them and sending in the Ukrainian military to murder them. * This would be like the people of Puerto Rico being slaughtered by the Cuban government and Jamaican terrorists, and asking America for help. No difference at all. There are also actual Neo-Nazi terrorist groups dug in deep in the Ukrainian countryside that assist the Ukrainian army in the genocide of the DPR and the LPR citizens. There are also illegal bio-weapons labs in the Ukraine. There is also a horrific human trafficking network in the Ukrainian capital. Putin is the only world leader (now that Trump is no longer in office), that is willing to help the people in the DPR and the LPR AND rid the country of the Neo-Nazi faction, protect the citizens of the DPR and the LPR, destroy the bio-weapons labs and annihilate the human trafficking network. Putin has exhausted ALL avenues of resolve. He has asked for help from the UN, the US, NATO and other individual countries, but since all of those entities are in league with the Ukrainian government, the construction of the aforementioned bio-weapons labs AND the genocide of the Ukrainian people, they refuse to help. Russia IS NOT in the Ukraine to OCCUPY anything! These are STRIKES that PUTIN promised would come if no one would help Russia put an end to all of this. Lastly, NATO is in the thick of this as well and wants a full blown war between Russia and Ukraine. That way, they think they can defeat Russia and continue with the evil work they are currently overseeing in the Ukraine.

@@deftones8717 the only truth you people care about is the MSM truth. Not the fact that Ukraine government is just as evil as Putin. But even worse they side and arm neo nazis to do all the fighting. When does Ukraine and joe Biden get some blame? All they had to do was reassure Putin they will never be part of NATO. But nope they would rather have war and escalate shit. Condemning Putin as US starts wars all over the world and kills millions. But I know let’s get involved in another war as millions of Americans suffer let’s help the Ukraine.

@@eh5872 Putin has justified his invasion with lies. Telling us that Ukraine was a Nazi state. When fact, it’s current leader President Zelensky is Jewish, it’s Prime minister Groysman is Jewish. Putin’s Russia has had a long history of racist Far Right movements (such as Imperial Russian Movement) and a governmental policy of exporting that hate into other European countries. A survey by the Pew Research Center 2019 found only 5 percent of Ukrainians surveyed would not accept Jews as fellow citizens, compared to 18 percent of Poles, 22 percent of Romanians and 23 percent of Lithuanians. Ukraine has the world’s third or fourth largest Jewish community, but it’s estimates of it size vary wildly, ranging from 120,000 to 400,000, depending on who is counting. Putin justified his invasion by telling us that Ukraine has no right to exist. When in fact, the Rus kingdom of Ukraine is far older than Rus. The heartland of the Orthodox Church is in Kyiv that the Rus culture is older in Ukraine than Russia. The idea that a state should not exist is a tenet shared by despots who are planning to wipe out that country.

@@prizefighter8699 As @Ararune pointed out, the difference is, I can listen to many news sources and have been taught critical thinking skills to make sense of what's true and what's not. For example, I ALWAYS make sure to listen to at least 2 news sources that are not from the US. Since I also speak Spanish, I'll often read El País, which is a newspaper from Spain. I'll often listen to news from a country in Latin America. I also listen to to Spanish people living in Australia (believe it or not!) talking about world news. Then I also listen to the BBC, along with the New York Times and Washington post. Btw, this is why I always found the question that Katie Couric asked Sarah Palin (which news sources do you consume) a great one. As you said, every news source has their biases and the only way to guard against it is to get your news from multiple sources.
