because liberals say I support Putin, I support Putin.
You’re literally a case study of my point. Don’t let the liberals define you. Do you think Lenin went around saying “fine, I guess I do really support the Kaiser”.
Yeah that’s true. But a lot of the “neither side” stuff I’ve seen comes of as unprincipled waffling. Wars are often won by one side, so people want to know which side you want to win. And I think the far better outcome is if Russia wins and to state that, and the actual reasons why. Most of these people on twitter and elsewhere aren’t looking to have a deep conversation, they’re looking to do a character assassination bolster the position of NATO as a “necessary” peacekeeping" “defensive” organization.
