Good Article. No question the events in Ukraine coincide with Nord Streak 2 about to go online.

The amount of war time propaganda on the Ukraine conflict has hit overdrive status and I would expect this article to “disappear” quickly.

There is little room to discuss the larger geopolitic situation. Instead a simplified narrative of

“Putin is an evil dictator invading a peaceful democracy and must be stopped at all costs”

And

“Ukraine is winning and will reclaim all territory including Crimea!!”

Is all that is allowed.

So your intelligent theory is that Putin is smart but USA outsmarted him and EU ? Or US and Putin are both controlled by Illuminati and the plan was to???

We in East Europe we knew all along that we need to get in NATO ASAP because Russia is actual evil and would not esitate to exterminate us just to take our land and resources, so fuck your Trumpan-Illuminati theories, the reality is in your face and you refuse to see it, Putin and Russia are evil, they will not hesitate to doe evil , US is not perfect but is not some super genius state where they played Putin as a stupid puppet all along.

Maybe we easter European are wrong, but for now we will curse Putin and Russia for all the shit is happening

What would happen if you tried discussing something outside of the allowed narrative?
Watch just immediate downvotes.. or often one liner replies. Essentially anything outside of the narrative = Russian sympathizer.

Reminds me of the bit activity around election cycles.
