A cousin of mine told me the other day that it was America's fault that the Ukrainians were being invaded and that the Ukrainians deserved it. The Right in this country is as brainwashed as the average Russian citizen. Its a shame they won't move to Russia and stop inflicting their madness on the rest of us.
Its kind of the narrative China goes with...that the EU is to blame for Russia attacking Ukraine.
Because we dared to give every democratic country the chance to become part of the EU, to prosper and grow.
I mean understandable that its coming from China, but its always weird hearing The Right in America defend what russia does.
The part of the American country that is so for freedom and all, being okay with a Dictator waging War on a innocent country that just wanted freedom for itself and its people.
Totally bonkers.
Anyway, im currently a bit taken back at how much people throw at my country.
I know Ukraine needs to do everything in their power to gather support and help, they fight for their survival...but blaming Germany for the War is insane.
Joining the NATO requires to met certain criterias, and at the time Ukraine hasnt met them...we couldnt have expected Russia to attack them.
Was it dumb to trust russia? Sure as hell and now we face the consequences and our hands are pretty tied, we look pretty dumb on many things currently.
But at the time, it wasnt a crime to say no to Ukraine joining the NATO.
We do what we can to help considering the situation we are in, i dont expect people to thank my country or praise us for what we do...but there is also no need to kick us to the ground this much.
