    Not the OP but let’s fish for down votes.

    The Azov battalion are Nazis in Ukraine and Russia is actively trying to exterminate them.

    The Russian military brought peace to Syria while the US funded Syrian terrorists.

    We call Iran terrorists while the US actively terrorized Iran by murdering their generals without provocation.

    The US actively pirates Iranian shipments.

    The US changes the definition of words to fit their needs. US isn’t in a recession because the government changed how we define recessions.

    China is actively committing a deathless genocide because like institutionalized racism we are generalizing the concept of cultural genocide to cover all definitions of genocide.

    The Chinese economy is bad because they only grew 5%.

    The fentanyl issue is blamed on everyone except the US own incompetence. Whether it be Purdue, or Mexico or China but definitely not a US enforcement issue.

    And that’s just off the top of my head.

    *Edit. I see my votes have turned positive now that I’ve clarified my personal position on the Ukraine conflict. But let me point out that my facts didn’t change only that I’ve pointed out I’m against Russia.

    But this is my point. We should stop down voting facts simply because they’re uncomfortable. That’s how we get presidents like Trump.

      except for the first all of these are interesting. As for the first: I am pretty sure there are nazis on both sides, and the Azov-thing is a very very flimsy excuse for the war.
