Noam Chomsky has some insights into the matter that might help you understand the issue with the depth it deserves. I'm not siding with Russia but, not buying the US propaganda either (my country also abstained from voting on the matter in UN). One doesn't need to be forced to choose one bully over the other.
I hope US/Russia let democratic means prevail in Ukraine.

@prasoon The whole world isn't about the US. It's not a choice between US and Russia. It's a choice between Ukraine and Russia.

Well, the US did have a role in helping a govt sympathetic to US take shape in Ukraine in 2014, post which Russia has been mounting attacks on Ukraine every year during spring. International relations/conflicts are never bilateral. I would urge you to inspect these conflicts (including those in other parts of the world that sadly don't get the SavingPrivateRyan like coverage on Guardian) with a broader perspective.

@prasoon As someone who was born in Russia, can read original sources and has followed the events in Georgia and Ukraine ove the years I would think my perspective a little broader than you think.

I'm amazed that you still think this is a bilateral conflict and has no international causation or consequences. Anyway, I wish for the wellbeing of your friends and family, and hope Europe can stand together against the war machinery.

@Gargron What sources do you read? Independent media or garbage, because Russia is starting the final struggle with independent media

@Gargron @prasoon oof. Bad take. The choice was between NATO and Russia. Ukraine doesn't even figure into it.
