I basically agree, it is usually not a good sign when Washington supports another régime, but it would be easy for somebody to argue that the U.S.S.R. during WWII was an exception because of Imperial America’s propaganda support therefor and, of course, the lend-lease pack that antisocialists never tire of overrating.
Zelenskyy is the fall guy, the guy chosen for his ability to act and improv which makes him capable of appearing to lead while being led. The Ukrainian government since 2014 has been a puppet of America, right up to today. As much as you think it’s Trump and Republicans discarding Ukraine, it’s the US strategists doing it because it’s not effective for their purposes anymore.
If liberals want to oppose Russia’s invasion, whatever, but they need to realize that NATO never wanted to actually repell the invasion. They wanted the war to become a quagmire and for Russia to never retreat, but get stuck in an unwinnable position until it collapsed.
The goal was never for Ukraine to win, the goal was to weaken Russia - even if they had to fight to the last Ukrainian. Now that the war is no longer weakening Russia its purpose is done and NATO will leave Ukraine with a ton of debt and nothing to show for it.
The result will be Western Ukraine becoming a neocolony that’s forced to pay back the debt it incurred during the war.
But instead of realizing what really happened, they’re going to retreat into another “stabbed in the back” myth.
Trying to genocide an ethnicity in a territory that borders with others of the same ethnicity is not at all an odd way to enter a war. Especially when your western sponsors have been talking EVERYWHERE about how they’re getting you combat ready to eventually use you as an attack dog against the Russians.

Gish gallop is a technique famously being used by Trump. Do better.
I’m not sure what’s the point you’re trying to make here. USA bad? Russia good and did nothing wrong? There’s no Russian propaganda before and after 2022? Please clarify.
If you want Trump to lose then the US needs to lose. The US is a Trump-producing system. This particular Trump is the system perfecting and optimizing itself, DJT is not an anomaly but the intended outcome.
It’s very nice that you learned a debating term but it would be cooler if you actually knew what it means before adding it to the thought terminating cliche toolbox.
All of these have sources. All of these are showing that there is not just evidence, but overwhelming evidence for Ukrainian aggression and US involvement in using them like they used South Vietnam and Iraq beforehand. Maybe read some instead of looking for what sort of fallacy you can miscategorize it as so you don’t have to learn anything.

Right, Trump famously researches and curates twenty years of Western journalism.
I’m not sure what’s the point you’re trying to make here.
That before February 2022, Western media wasn’t shy about Ukraine’s neo-Nazi problem or the ~14,000 people killed in eastern and southern Ukraine between 2014 and 2021 by the Ukrainian military and the US & Ukrainian government-backed fascist Banderite paramilitary. That didn’t become “Russian propaganda” until 2022. But the pre-2022 Western media articles are still online.
I see. The sources you’re quoting (at least some, but again - gish gallop) do paint this picture a little bit differently.
Human Rights Watch said that insurgent forces have failed to take all feasible precautions to avoid deploying in densely populated areas, thereby endangering civilians in violation of the laws of war. In one case, separatist forces moved their base closer to the center of the town when Grad rockets struck their base and a nearby residential area.
That’s literally human shield strategy done by Donetsk insurgents.
Russian propaganda parts is to omit that information to put them in pity position instead conflicting position.
Another example, the Hill:
The odious Russian media tried to paint Ukraine as a land of Nazis, though that is patently wrong
I think you might be misunderstanding something and imagining me saying there is not US propaganda or Ukrainian propaganda, for example whitewashing Azov?
The US empire which is the liege state of the Ukrainian gov. Idk why y’all insist not to know how to parse very simple sentences and act like that makes the other person stupid.
Dunno what you’re on about 'cause Zelenskyy ain’t the bad guy here.
If the US is supporting a regime they’re bad news, no exceptions
Aha, but that would include the Soviet Union during World War II! Checkmate!
Lol no, it really wouldn’t

This is what I wish liberals could understand.

It’s ok they’re gonna probably turn very slavophobic once the blowback results in a wave of terror attacks with western weapons
Dragging your whole country into war because you desperately want to join NATO — against the will of your citizens — isn‘t bad guy behavior?
Being invaded is an odd way to intentionally enter a war.
It didn’t start with the Russian invasion though.

For someone who should be resistant to USA propaganda, you seem very eager to consume Russian’s.
Was Western media also Russian propaganda before February, 2022?

Propaganda means it’s not true, amirte?
Propaganda means if the truth comes from the enemies of the state it must mean it’s now a lie.
This is not at all unreasonable 😤
