    Ah yes, here we are, calling out propaganda so we can justify invading Russia and killing millions of people!

    Oh wait, no, we’re absolutely not doing that, that’s a wild comparison to draw, Russia has been proven to actively engage in propaganda and manipulation of foreign nations via social media and the internet. They’re also actively invading a sovereign nation, so uh, yeah, if you’re a nation within their proximity, you should absolutely be prepared for an invasion.

      Just give Europe 10 years to militarize and remember this conversation. When you’re sent to the frontlines (or your family or your friends), remind me. The Nazis didn’t start with the “let’s invade a neighboring country” propaganda either, they framed everything as defense

        I would be completely in agreement with you here if Russia wasn’t already literally invading another country. That kind of destroys your entire premise here, however.
