There's no proxy war. You're dehumanizing Ukrainians by denying their agency

Dude we were denying their agency in 2014 when we were helping install their new pro-EU government

No, stating that a popular revolt against a corrupt leader is the result of our actions is denying their agency

[–] jwiggler 2 points 1 year ago

I never claimed the revolt itself was a result of their actions, I claimed that we were actively involved in installing their new government, which we were.
