    The only fact they know about geopolitics is that the US is bad. They have extrapolated that to mean that everyone the US opposes must be good, which doesn't hold up to even the slightest bit of scrutiny.

    The more coherent view is that invading is bad and you shouldn't do it, so Russia and Israel are both in the wrong.

    Did you watch the video...

    It seems you replied after just reading the title...

    I thought the video was simple and direct.

    All is well.

    Peace.

    It mostly just boils down to the same "perfect victim" nonsense that also manifests as "but do you condemn Hamas?" Yes Ukraine does bad things. Very bad things. It was known as the most corrupt country in Europe, a title that has fierce competition. That still doesn't justify an invasion.

    And it isn't like Russia didn't invade before the 2014 coup; they actually invaded during the riots leading up to the coup, and seized territory that they still hold today (as Israel has done so many times to Palestine).

    They also aren't only looking out for ethnic Russians in the Donbas. The initial invasion planned to take Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital. It turned out that the Russians significantly overestimated their capabilities and underestimated the amount of military hardware that Europe and the US were willing to offload on Ukraine.

    I think it has to do with propaganda and the continued political tribalism and divide-and-conquer of the working class and poor.

    The only difference is some believe they are immune or above its influence, while some try to take account of it and continue to learn from not only government and establishment sources but dissident views and independent journalists as well.
