What are you trying to say? That the many documented breaches of Minsk 1 and 2 didn't happen, that Azov battalion didn't get integrated into the military and government, or that observing the events that led to war is propaganda?

If Putin said that grass is green, then that doesn't suddenly make it purple.

I think you need to consider that you yourself are not immune to propaganda and your idea of what propaganda is; how it disseminates; what purpose it serves; and who the largest purveyors of it is in the west is lacking.

I reject reality because reality is just parroting Russian talking points.
Ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears.

Propaganda is when you say things. Unbiased facts is when I say things. Smh all these people falling for russian propaganda, I would never fall for propaganda which is why I parrot whatever the us state department says - I make sure to preempt it with "us bad too though" so that means I'm the cleverest little boy around. Two things can be true, Occam's razor, no true Scotsman, appeal to authority fallacy

With my eyes and ears I observe that other neighbours have been invaded for the last 18 years and Putin publicly toying with invading us as well. We have enough with disconnecting with the US dictatorship, why would we get in bed with something similarly bad, but at our borders?

Too bad you got banned, I would've loved to see your sources for your claims. Putin isn't some cartoon villain, scheming to take over the world. Ive not seen him Daydream about invading any country in Europe - though I've seen plenty articles fearmongering baselessly about it.
Regarding wars that involve Russia I'd love to have heard your reductive reasoning for why they happened. But you got banned because you couldn't keep from saying some really heinous shit. Odd how often that happens shrug-outta-hecks
