And I don’t mean things you previously had no strong opinion about.

What is a belief you used to hold that you no longer do, and what/who made you change your mind about it?

    First of all - you’re not the person my question was directed at.

    Secondly - you’re just firehosing me with information that I couldn’t fact-check in any reasonable amount of time nor figure out all the things you’re omiting. You also state as fact things that you or nobody else could possibly know to the degree of cerainty you present it as such as “this current war started in 2014 with the CIA-backed fascist coup”

    However, even if I grant you that everything you stated above is factually correct it still leaves unanswered what the main point of my question was; how do you justify this? Take the Russian invasion of Ukraine for example. If west is evil and east is good then how does a murderous campaing like this fit into the equation? How is it moral to invade a sovereign nation, attack their civilian population, target critical infrastucture in the middle of winter, send your own people there to die in meatwave attacks after two days of training and bomb cities into rubble. Cities where their alledged supporters are living in? Not even China is endorsing this and the whole “evil” west has united in support of the underdog being bullied by the second most powerful nation in the world. I can’t possibly imagine how someone can look at this carnage and think Russia is good.
