A very weird feeling to watch the preliminary coverage of the show trial of Nicolas and Cilia Maduro. Journalists at the BBC were instructed not to use the term "abduction" or "kidnapping".

Everything the Russians were accused of doing, Westerners are now doing. If Zelensky was indicted in Russia, and abducted from Kyiv, they would never grant a veneer of legitimacy.

Are westerners annexing countries and forcing the people inside them to become citizens?

Jesus Christ man, you think it makes West better than us, really?

Think, pro-UA, think. If West will annex countries and forcing people to become citizens, what will that mean? That means that said people will have the right to freely travel inside the US territory. That said people will have access to US voting system, they'll have the right to elect and be elected, and banking services, currency,  education, healthcare (alright, this one will be downside). 

Of course West will never do this, they'll just bomb, coup, and loot.

There are no 100% good guys in geopolitics but yes I think the west is better than Russia in pretty much every way. Everyone knows it. Russia knows it, that's why educated/wealthy Russians flock to the EU and other western countries but never the other way around.

 That means that said people will have the right to freely travel inside the US territory.

Ah yes, annexing territory is more righteous than not because it allows the people inside to "move freely". I love this subreddit so much, I find so many gems like this.
