oooh, conspiracy slop, neat. ๐Ÿ“ท

(in all seriousness though, is this post trying to suggest that russia didn't actually invade ukraine?)

Where do you get that from? The opposite of telling the truth is not telling only lies.

The information about the other countries is also not entirely wrong. There is just enough false information that the majority draws enough wrong conclusions.

just not sure what "they" are claiming beyond that (or who "they" is meant to refer to, for that matter), but the comparison to iraq, afghanistan, vietnam, etc. made me guess the op was claiming that the commonly understood cause and justification of the war was false.

I think so too. That's not the same as denying the invasion.

if the invasion isn't the commonly understood cause and justification for the war then i have no idea what might be.

To me war and invasion is synonymous.

Ukraine is the victim in the US and Russias imperialist dick measuring contest.

Neither the US nor Russia is telling the full story.

If russia US so good, why don't you go live there? US lie about all the time to justify war of aggression, and who is aggressing who in the Ukraine-Russia war?

why did this get downvoted? Who's the gaggle of idiots that downvoted this? I'm old enough to remember all the bullshit about Iraq and Afghanistan and all the wars against countries that never attacked us that Obama started too

Anyone who thinks it's a bad idea to try to establish peace between two nuclear armed powers is an idiot. Any bunker that you could survive in would also be your tomb, because the nuclear fallout from dozens if not hundreds of nukes being used at the same time would outlive you by over 1000 years
