OP is known tankie just fyi. Doesn't justify US or Ukrainian actions but make sure you understand that the reason for posting this isn't out of any actual concern for human beings. They're also peddling covid conspiracies

So let me get this straight, according to you:

The people that don't support either side of the war and want to end it as fast as possible through peace talks are evil tankies.

And the bloodthirsty monsters that want to prolong a pointless war, arm Azov Nazis and kill as many people as possible with illegal inhumane weapons that scar generations are freedom-loving liberals.

Seems like the tankies are the more reasonable ones in this situation.

That's an interesting point, but have you considered Harry Potter?

As a German, thank you. Meanwhile we're still dragging our feet with the TAURUS, sigh.

Just another piece of evidence that the west never actually cared about Ukraine or people living there. Ukrainians are just a pawn the west is using to try and weaken Russia with zero consideration for the lives of the people living there.

I'm just glad that as an Adult in the room, I'm on the right side of history. Arming Ukranian Nazis with depleted uranium is actually the least evil option and anyone who doesn't understand that is a child.

Another 50 billion for the cause!
