You might be thinking why America wants this? Let's see how Russia vs Ukraine will help the USA. This will increase the fear of Russia in Europe. Now more countries will buy weapons. Who will sell? America. You might have heard that Germany after WW2, the first time is going to invest this heavily $100 billion dollars for Defense. Who will get the benefit? America. Who will be destroyed? Ukraine.
Economically, Russia will be impacted(That is why America wants to prolong this war and by manipulating the sentiments they want civilians to fight to extend this and affect Russia economically). One arrow two targets for the USA.
Russian attack can not be justified by a pic but do you support this type of fairness?
This way America might be controlling your elections as well by using social media platforms like Facebook/Twitter/Google/Youtube.
Does your country really want to be controlled by US social media platforms?
Should not the world(especially Asia) start regulating these platforms heavily?
Is it fair to block Russian Media from Western Countries?
Is it fair to block Russian media from Youtube/Facebook/Twitter so that the world can not see both narratives(Ukraine and Russian both)?
Should not these companies take a neutral stance against any media?
Should not we let everyone(including Russian media) say whatever they want and then judge the truth? Why manipulation?
Let's sanction Russia.No problem. Let's punish Putin for his crimes.
America is trying to manipulate the world by spreading misinformation and trying to win Information-Warfare. But America is not trying to help via Diplomacy.
But is it going to change the reality on the ground?
Is it going to save Ukraine's Infrastructure and improve GDP?
Is it going to save Ukrainians?
I am hearing that more strikes are going on in Kharkiv and Kyiv. How is this helping the Ukrainian People?
America and Russia both will kill the future of Ukraine in their own ways.
Another shit blog just for contribution.
Listen friend if you have to tell this to people around the world tell on twitter not here.
This is the place for cp.
These types just cause a flood on recent actions and make useful blogs hide.
Its a request please dont do this.
If you want contribution just post this a comment on any other blog.
such opinions are banned on twitter
Another shit comment for contribution. I am not sure if Twitter will let the world know the truth.
I think you are right. Free speech is a scam.
Bringing the Serbs to Heel -> Bringing the Serbs to Hell.
I just don't want to see lives lost due to these wars. The world needs more peace.
I just love how in your two recent posts you try to envision the West as this corrupt and manipulative area, bringing hypocrisy to the argument written by many media outposts that the war to Ukraine is a bad thing.
Ok. You've made your point. The "West" does suck. But really, let's be honest, isn't more likely that power brings will of corruption and mass manipulation? But really, it's a more general thing: everything is now biased. Everything. As long as the political systems allows for oligarchy, everything will be corrupted by the viewpoint of those in power. And if anything, the hypocrisy of the western media does not influence in no shape or form the atrocities occurring in Ukraine: the war is still bad. If western oligarchs ( not westerners) shed a more negative light to this war than to others, it still doesn't minimize the fact that this war is horrible.
People should judge for themselves, and if your attempt is to make people judge the correctitude of the message mostly spread in "western" media that "Russia bad, Everything else good", and alienate them from Ukraine's side, well you are really doing a great job. This is some fine "anarchist" propaganda
And really, have you thought that maybe this is the same for Russia? Perhaps during the attack on Serbia Russian outlets behaved in a similar hypocrisy as you now describe. No-one said that US is free from guilt and that it is a great solution to peace.
But really, let's see how "The West" destroyed all hope and happiness in all the other countries it has "converted":
Romania: Joined EU in 2007. It's GDP (and GPD per capita) had a great leap that year, some struggles the following years occured but the over-all situation has greatly improved since 2006
Bulgaria: Joined EU in 2007. It's GDP has been prospering ever since
Poland: Joined EU in 2004. Same scenario
Slovenia: Joined EU in 2004. Same scenario
This war is possibly formed by the ambitions of the west to "colonize" Ukraine, but really, this will to be colonized is mutual along the with a great mass of people from Ukraine.
This war was started as a geopolitical ambition created by possibly other geopolitical ambitions created to end geopolitical ambitions. And however ironic that may be, and no matter the circumstances surrounding this event, people in Ukraine still suffer, and no-one should ever attempt to diminish the gravity of this situation. Anyone who does war is bad full-stop, no matter which political ideology or culture they represent.
The US has also greatly helped in rebuilding the world after WW2 (Japan and Western Europe)
Ow, that's cute! What a lovely country US is! Wish US did the same to Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and so on and on!
Here are some facts about US invasion of different countries post 9/11:
Source: https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/papers/summary
US invaded these countries, toppled their government, destroyed infrastructure and which ultimately brought a f*ckton of chaos and violence and whatnot! Who is responsible for that? Not US?
Next time think twice before starting to shill for this imperialist fu*k US and all its lapdogs!
What a great beacon of freedom the US is! So what about the "rebuilding" in Syria,Libya ,Iraq and Palestine?
Also,you know nothing about Japan.Japan's economy has been in a slump for 30 years. Who do you think is the initiator?Go back to your history teacher and fuck yourself.
"But America is not trying to help via Diplomacy."
How should the US help by diplomacy? Putin simply doesn't care about diplomacy.
Russia — Trying to protect its boarder from NATO influence. Hence, the military operation to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO.
Ukraine — Protecting it's motherland and fighting for it sovereignty and independence. That's why it thinks it is the best bet to accept USA offer to join NATO.
You see both sides are trying to achieve what is best for them and their country.
Nothing can be termed as good or evil unless you bring in the third player who is the main villian wearing the hero mask.
Any guess who it can be?
As far as I know, in Russia they also show only their narrative, right? Like peace-makers serving human aid to Ukraine...
You might me right, that USA does not help to improve Ukraine's GDP, nor did it help in diplomacy. But what you are implying is that this is equally bad as the current invasion by Russia and this comparison really is not ok. Cities get bombed, people die, families get torn apart..
Its the same like Kashmir issue. Pakistan and India killed the future of kashmirians. May be it sounds rude to both the countries, but its the fact you believe or not.
Another example is USA invasion of Iraq (Just for their greed of oil). Bush should never be forgive. USA leaders destroyed the middleEast just for greed. They gave berth to ISIS, and now, who is suffering? everyone knows. In the Iraq war way more people died (murdered by USA) compared to the numbers Saddam Hussein killed. There is nowhere conflict happended and USA not interfered (Iraq/Iran/Afghanistan/Syria/Serbia). Now, its the Ukrain's turn, using ukrain as a tool putting sanctions on Russia and keeping their wolf street high (offcourse putting more and more sanctions will just increase the risk of Nuclear threats).
Hope this get end soon. God bless Ukrain and salute to all the soldiers.
Just like China killed the future of Tibet and Hongkong and Uyghur Muslims and Bangladesh Killing Hindu community .
On the serious note if you are not from these countries you have no right to speak for or against their personal issues.
If you are here for competitive programming do it only, there is other ways to get into politics.
Who are you telling me the rights. Are you sleepy joe's servant?
No , but joe mama is my servant.
On the serious note if you are not from these countries you have no right to speak for or against their personal issues.
This is the funniest joke I heard today, especially from your mouth.I think you'd better worry about your daily necessities, especially living in such an hopeless autocratic country with such a wide gap between the rich and the poor.
.

Are you kidding me ? Do you mean China killed the future of Tibet and Hong Kong? As this article says, you'd better not trust reports on Twitter or Facebook easily. Even more so about China, if you really want to know what's going on in Tibet and Hong Kong, you'd better go there yourself. China welcomes you
now this is too much, too much political blogs, everything has a limit
very sarcastic but truth. some are only opposed to wars by non-America countries.
.
Of course I want to be controlled by USA point of view. USA is democracy, USA is free speech. Russian rules mean dictatorship, murdering opposition and banning the truth. It's easy to choose, isn't it?
Learn some history. After WW2 Europe was divided into USA and USSR controlled territories. Where did the people feel free? What was the direction to escape from prosecutions? Years go by, nothing changes.
Watch this(https://www.youtube.com/shorts/D5xJuyrUIIA) then you will find that "Freedom of speech until the speech is the truth".
After seeing all the downvotes of my post — is it really strange that Russia bombs innocent people? No, because you downvoters support this. You have blood on your hands.
I still love all those Russian people that hate dictators. We can meet somewhere and sing songs together. Songs of freedom. See you :)
PS. Stay calm. I will write no longer unless I take part in an a codeforces competition. That should be fair I think. Competing in algorithms is the main goal of this site.
You are saying that you "want to be controlled" and expect upvotes? Innocent people are getting bombed with the silent approval of those, who blindly trust and want to be controlled by their authorities. Even democratic countries are not perfectly immune to sometimes electing warmongering freaks as their leaders.
America bombed Serbia because Serbia was waging a genocide against Albanians. Albanians then fled Serbia which led to a refugee crisis in Europe. Hence NATO intervened to save Alabanians and help them create a new nation called Kosovo. So, NATO intervention in Serbia was justified and thus was every other intervention. This Russia's invasion is just a land grabbing one.
what about Vietnam ? USA literally used Agent Orange there.
While Agent Orange was brutal, the war was justified. North Vietnam which was autocratic and communist invaded democratic and capitalist South Vietnam. America went to defend South Vietnam from North Vietnam. America couldn't win because of 2 reasons: 1. Geography 2. Soviet support to North Vietnam in terms of weapons and technology. I agree that America was way too brutal and shouldn't have massacred Vietnamese people but the war was justified.
"Democratic and capitalist South Vietnam"
"Both were led by sweet-looking men. But don't let that deceive you. They were both ruthless dictators."
Did you ever visit the Viet Nam museum or just read some news from Western countries and you say that it is justified just because Vietnam is communist ???
Do you know how many people lost their lives and how many non-vc massacres has happened during the war? I visit many museums and read many documentaries to know how many horrible things happened when America attacked Vietnam.
I mean I do acknowledge that America was very brutal in Vietnam. We killed many innocent people. I feel sorry for them from my side. However, it was America's responsibility to protect South Vietnam. So what I meant was, while the war was justified, we shouldn't have killed innocent people and shouldn't be that cruel.
And this kind of mindset unfortunately appears to be still shared by a lot of Russians (unless they are just a bunch of vocal propagandists, who infiltrated various forums on the Internet). They are sorry for the killed civilians and destroyed buildings, but they still think that they are the good guys and their solution for the problem is to "win faster".
I was very concerned to see that some ranked codeforces users from Russia support the war, so this kind of sentiment exists for real. Not sure what is the real percentage of the anti-war and pro-war supporters among the whole Russian population. I guess, having a large country and being fairly confident that their own ass is in safety makes a big difference for an average citizen. This is known as "маленькая победоносная война / a splendid little war" and the Russo-Japanese War used to be a good example of that.
As for the USA, it's mostly the same thing. Imagine Trump starting a war against Mexico instead of building a wall? What would average Americans think about it? Your comment makes me believe that there would be a significant number of pro-war supporters in the USA.
I would be strongly against a war against Mexico. Mexico did not do anything wrong. Mexico did not genocide any section of the society like Serbians and Yugoslavians did(Serbia and Yugoslavia waged genocide against Albanians which led to the refugee crisis in Europe, so NATO intervened and created Kosovo, a new nation for Albanians). Nor did Mexico try to spread communism like North Vietnam did and nor did Mexico promote religious fundamentalism like the Taliban did. Mexico is a peaceful nation. I'd rather be an advocate of strengthening relations between the U.S. and Mexico. I am moreover a vocal critic of America being friendly to Mujahideen forces in the 1980s. Look, I am not a warmonger. There were several instances American intervention was justified and where it wasn't. And, please, I am not a trump supporter.
How old are you? Were you a vocal critic of America being friendly to Mujahideen forces exactly when these events unfolded or are you a vocal critic of this right now? Hindsight is 20/20.
And if a war against Mexico actually started, then you would have had a contradiction between "we are the good guys" and "Mexico did not do anything wrong". And there's a chance that it would have resolved in favour of "we are the good guys" and "Mexico did at least something wrong" (and almost every war starts from some sort of a staged provocation to justify it). Moreover, you are saying that you are not a Trump supporter. What would the actual Trump supporters think about the war?
You are right.
Meanwhile Ukrainian Roma Refugees also face racial discrimination by Ukrainian Border Guards . https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/3/7/ukraines-roma-refugees-recount-discrimination-on-route-to-safety
Aside from the fact that we shouldn't be talking about this on a CF blog (although it's inevitable for politics to ebb through), there are already a multitude of blogs which are addressing the racial discrimination at the border. The post you made is better suited to go there. This blog post (the OP's post) focuses on the US Point of View.

Fuck you (*all of you). this is happening and you try to take russia's side, or make people that help ukraine to seem hypocrite's and bad. You are a fucking pig
