Garland even plays a clip where Lindsay Graham and John Mc Cain go to Ukraine in 2014 to urge them to attack Russia, and they make the promise that the US will give them the weapons
You are not trying to decipher this mess, you are outright supporting Russia.

Man I'm not sure how all of this will turn out in the end of this conflict, but I am confident that you are going to earn a "Hero of Russia" award. You are not trying to decipher this mess, you are outright supporting Russia.

Understanding why Russia acted as they did, the full context behind it, and countering the absolute steamrolling that the truth is getting on this website isn't implicitly supporting Russia. It's also not supporting Russia to hold the US and NATO to the same standard they want applied to Russia. It upsets me that my country isn't trying to be better than the standard they're holding Russia to. Shouldn't that upset every American, that we just allow our country to be worse than those we sanction? What does it say about us?
If not for a handful of people most of the Ukraine threads would be kvetching over clips from video games, three year old footage from other countries, and the manufactured scene sets from the hyperbolic press. They'd believe there was a holocaust happening when in reality the number of civilian deaths hasn't yet hit 4 digits at my last check. It pales in comparison to other events in recent Ukrainian history.
I know the frequency of the threads may be annoying, but with the number of fantasy stories coming at us every day I appreciate there are people trying to counter that. The press and the government want hysteria, which is why they feed it and why we need to counter it.

Hello ATS,
Garland discusses more about Ukraine with a special guest, Ray McGovern, who is a former CIA agent and a Foreign Policy Specialist under 7 Presidents. Garland even plays a clip where Lindsay Graham and John Mc Cain go to Ukraine in 2014 to urge them to attack Russia, and they make the promise that the US will give them the weapons and tech they need to fight Russia.

I would think that the current conflict is a continuation of the conflict that started in 2014. The UN puts casualties at 3,393 up until 2021, and a further 879 this year.
