I simply state that Ukraine was used as a pawn for NATO to weaken Russia. And this was predicted years ago. But anyone saying it was called a Russia bot.

Ukraine was caught between two evils and did not use its own leverage to get guarantees from NATO. Instead it blindly trusted hollow phrases of possible future NATO membership, refused ceasefire deals, and now is left holding the bag.

I did not even reply to you, I replied to another comment which has been since deleted, and was referring to comments across this whole comment section. (Eg: "when his countrymen hang him", or "this scumbag is responsible for destroying the country")

Spamming russian bot

You can check my comment history, I am fairly sure that is the first time I have ever referred to a user as a Russian bot. Hardly spamming.

I disagree with your original comment mostly because of the phrasing, because I think it implies that the only reason for Ukraine to be fighting was for NATO membership (as opposed to defending their home from invaders) but your clarification about Ukraine being stuck between two evils I can agree with, or at least find reasonable.

Edit: added examples above

I'm not sure why you are misconstruing my message, I said explicitly that criticising Zelenksy is not propaganda. Once again, propaganda is when you blatantly ignore reality in an attempt to give Zelenksy (or anyone) a "bad rap".

Implying that Zelenksy has little support from Ukrainians by claiming he will be hung by his countrymen is blatantly ignoring the statistical truth that a good majority of Ukrainians support him.

Stating that Zelenksy is the sole reason for Ukraine's destruction is blatantly ignoring the historical truth that Russia invaded Ukraine.

Please explain to me how these are "vibe based"

No, he will be hung by the banderites and ultra nationalists regardless of how popular he is.

And even then, his popularity depends on the war going well, which it is not, so he will become much less popular at the end especially if he makes a bad deal (which the us will force on him).

thankfully, I don't have to say much as other users have contributed a lot more in on this subject. It shouldn't be hard to find out how your opinions are vibes-based.:

Stating that Zelenksy is the sole reason for Ukraine’s destruction [...]

This is factually correct, you are right for once. There were numerous other factors into play that helped perpetuate this senseless destruction which warrants a nuanced discussion, namely the $$$ factor: Ukraine sits on trillions worth of minerals. US politicians want them.

And what exactly are my opinions which are "vibe based"? The only opinions I have stated in this thread is that users are sharing blatant propaganda (one example of which you agreed with), and that I don't see a reason why any non-bot would willingly spread propaganda.

The links you sent don't have anything to do with what I've stated. It seems like you are trying to show me that Zelensky deserves to be hung, but this is irrelevant to my statement that claiming "he will be hung by his countrymen" is propaganda.

For example I might have sources as to why I think Putin should be hung, but if I went around saying that Putin will be hung by his countrymen it would be implying that he is hated by Russians, which is an outright lie and propaganda.
