          And BBC is a british state controlled source. state-owned ≠ untrustworthy, at least not more untrustworthy than private media.

            BBC is actually not state controlled; it is an independent corporation. Though I agree with your sentiment, that a state controlled news source such as RT is untrustworthy.

          Yes it is 100% controlled by the Russian government. It is not a good news source unless you want to read what Putin wants you to read.

          First ha yea “invading army” abso has nothing to do with trying to stop further NATO expansionism for the US or the fact that the US overthrew Ukraine’s legit elected gov in 2014 for a puppet gov. 2nd, western “news” outlets gets their narratives from the CIA or other US agencies

            Walk me through how Russia’s army taking territory from Ukraine isn’t invading. Explain, as you would to a child.

              If Trump started bombing California, and California called for secession and asked Mexico for aid, and Mexico did so, would Mexico be invading?

                Yes.

                It would also be an invasion if America managed to get rid of The Idiot as a blatantly corrupt foreign-aligned fascist, and then Canada decided they’d quite like Maine.

                  If your roommate starts threatening you with a knife and the cops come in after you called them to defuse the situation are the cops doing a home invasion?

                    Analogies tend to have something do with a topic at hand.

                    Russia invaded Ukraine. Is bickering about motives not good enough? You gotta pretend their army didn’t amass on the border, attempt to seize the seat of government, and claim permanent ownership of a shitload of territory?
