edit - originally made a year ago during the beginning of the invasion for r/noncredibledefence i can see how this can be misinterpreted, as a result of pedantics, i have added an russian defence corp to clarify the meme

edit 2 - reuploaded the image since it’s was deleted by recent instance woes, didn’t save edit 1 so this is the original - i’m not remaking edit 1

2 girls are fighting, flags are placed on them ukraine and russia respectively, while a group of bystanders in a backdrop watch and record

a bystander is explicitly amused, and enjoying himself; dabbing a pipe, defense corporation logos are posted him, Raytheon technologies and Lockheed martin

    1st off (and this shouldn’t need to be said) them profiting off a situation doesn’t mean they created the situation. Do you yell at the grocery store for making you hungry?

    Someone said NATO started the war because they want Russian oil…

    So for “proof” of that, you linked an article about how Russia might have considered Ukraine’s energy supplies before invading it?

    How are those two the ngs related?

    It’s seems like if that logic is sound to you, you’d believe that you could replace any political entity in place of NATO and it would be just as much “proof” of them starting the war…

    Why do you think that’s more likely then the one that decided to invade was the one that actually did the invading?

    I know I’m not getting a real answer, but it’s like seeing a trainwreck

      Ooh boy, look at those strawmen. I would respond to each of your points, ask for clarification, etc; but you didn’t bother to respond to my question posed to you: Why do you think Russia invaded Ukraine?
