Lol, uh, yeah. It's America's proxy war through their money laundering country.

Interesting. Didn’t Germany significantly increase their military spending at the beginning of the war? If 50% think NATO is responsible and 50% don’t, seems like 100% are pissed at the government about the war for one reason or the other.

Yes, they did, and I think they have tried to come up with long-term plans to keep funding Ukraine and NATO, which is not really the direction that they have wanted to actually go as a people at all.

The ACF purports to have conducted a poll

The poll, whose methodology is not stated

Lol

This guy seems to think because this very unscientific and opaque "poll" was conducted by a Navalny-affiliated group that it somehow means more. To expect a Navalny affiliated group to be pro-Ukraine or more pro-West is to fall into the exact same trap he describes as "fashioned by western propaganda." Navalny is the opposition only against Putin, he's still part of the genocidal state of Russia, as is the ACF, and this evidence-less data is nothing more than the usual Russian propaganda

There is a point here because I am aware that famous internet personalities like Mustang Wanted have actually joined to fight in the Ukraine on behalf of Russia while also are opponents of Putin...

But it is the case here, IMO, where Navalny is supposed to more broadly support the Westernization of Russia and its membership in duh internashnul comunity or whatever, so I would suspect that Navalny is more astroturfed local opposition than is talked about.

But IDK.
