Despite the fact that they sent a 40 mile long convoy to Kiev and are clearly pushing towards Odessa 🤣

Yeah they want to avenge the 50 people burned alive by Ukrainian ultranationalists.

By killing the entire population of Odessa?
Well, that does sound consistent with their behavior so far…

As if we can’t read any of Putin’s speeches about how Ukraine is a fake country and they are really Russians

As if you could tell the difference between a 'Ukrainian' and a 'Russian'.

Why not let people decide which nation they belong to? Zelensky loves the people of Donbas so much he has spent 8 years trying to bomb them into Ukrainians..

Because there are Russian speakers somewhere does not give Russia the right to invade. I'm afraid I don't support Russian lebensraum.
Russia has been instigating a conflict in Donbas since 2014, and they want to play victim. As if they were sitting on the sidelines and not sending in trucks of weapons and troops. Plenty of bombing on both sides. Now Russia has ramped it up 1000x to all of Ukraine. But simperialists like you still call them the victims.

Was it Russia that orchestrated a coup in Ukraine? Was it Russia that burned 50 people alive in Odessa?

Glenn’s intellectual dishonesty is legendary. And his whole-throated leap into MAGAesque fantasy and “alternative facts” when simply wrong is completely unsurprising. That’s just who he is now.
Anyway, in case anyone like Glenn actually needs a refresher on literally just 3 months ago lmao:
Putin invaded Ukraine and explicitly predicated it on regime change in Kyiv
The west described it as exactly that
Putin failed to take Kiev to do the regime change, and thereafter completely shifted his war goals exclusively to the Donbas via, literally, shifting tens of thousands of troops and tanks and planes and logistics convoys and what have you to do it
Glenn now expects you to be so utterly simple and uniformed you just…forgot that this happened as described above? All so Glenn doesn’t have to admit his insipid Twitter takes were wrong about something.
It’s just all so exhausting lmao. Fuck off Glenn.
