Sure, the evil west forced them to rape and pillage and torture and bomb civilians and kidnap children and take over land that is not theirs. It's not conquest, it's just taking land that's not theirs! It's fine because the west made them do it! /s

turns out it wasn’t inside Ukraine’s borders
So you're just straight up gonna lie now...?
Why did you @ me? I'm pro-Ukraine, anti-Russia.
Way to conveniently forget the hostile takeover of Crimea.
Also, something happened inside of Ukraine's borders is now provocation... For Russia to invade? Conveniently having amassed 150k troops along Ukraine's border, while the world has been publicly discussing their imminent invasion for months?
Russia decided to invade months earlier.
Just how much are they paying you, huh?
Wow, Ukraine needs equipment to fight off an aggressor with a population almost 4 times bigger than its own. What a thought!
I also find it interesting that you want to have 'peace talks' with a country that not only invaded without provocation, but also continues to rape and torture people, among other war crimes they have, are and undoubtedly will continue to commit.
They're not a barista who's taking too long to make you a coffee. Stop blaming Ukraine for not defending themselves fast enough.
It's not owning up if you've been caught red-handed, denied any wrongdoing, and only made an apology video once your subs started tanking. At this point it just feels like damage control.
The "haha, we've made an oopsie" tone of the video (sponsorship jokes, plugging their store link, possible sex joke, deflecting to "I'm just a human" instead of fully taking the blame) don't sit right with me. I was also hoping they would address Madison's comments on why she quit.
You can visit a page from time to time to get 'better insight into how they formed their opinions'. If you're actively following it, that means you want to see everything they have to say, as soon as they say it (and you're boosting their follower count), and that's no longer defensible.
Plus, there would be at least some evidence of the guy arguing for trans people if that was the case.
'Following', for most people, translates to 'things I'm interested in'. Are you really claiming there's nothing at least suspicious in the statement "I'm interested in limiting trans rights"?
Lastly, they are free to correct any misconceptions publicly. Did he? Nope, just went on to criticize the medical industry and praise Jordan Peterson.
Then why did Russia start amassing troops and preparing for war months before these ceasefire violations even happened?
What's more plausible, that Russia has precognitive abilities, or that it was looking for an excuse?
And isn't attacking another country kind of counter to this whole 'peace talks' narrative you seem to be suggesting? Shouldn't Russia itself start with condemning the ceasefire violations, instead of entering Ukraine with their army?
No matter which way you try to slice it, Russia is an aggressor.
Edit:
Btw I would have no trouble believing that Russia (or Russian-aligned separatists) bombed a part of Ukraine to make Ukraine look bad and take over the territory. They're committing war crimes left and right, and this would not be the worst one.
