You guys say that but I've never seen a hexbear criticizing Russia or their side of the story, only accept it as gospel. You say you don't do that but then blindly accept their time line for the Bucha massacre or pretend their reasons for attacking a sovereign nation are real or ignore a bunch of irregularities in their 2014 referendum voting. Russia leaving is apparently never an option when they talk about possible solutions, only Ukraine giving up territory. You say the world isn't only good guys and bad guys but because when the things you guys say are actually analyzed, it's obvious that it's a lie. The west is bad, everyone else is less bad. Therefore in any thread with Ukraine, because the west is on their side, they are the bad guys. Even though Russia also has a corruption problem and Nazi problem and has a history of invading their numbers for decades. But they have the bigger military, so I guess all their neighbors have to give up their best territory to Russia for free and their citizens shouldn't expect to do anything about it and the the rest of the world has to let them.
Meanwhile, many of the people who criticize Russia in this attack don't dickride the West at all and hate plenty of things about it and will say it in the same thread or tons of others. Like they should definitely decide whether they'll fully support Ukraine or not, but we all know that to do that they'd have to get more support from their voters, which is often more difficult said than done, especially since Ukraine isn't actually in NATO.
