#'well obvious people don't know the details of the invasion of Ukraine; but obviously everyone has a basic knowledge of wagner'

[medicinemane]

Anyway... I've been following this invasion since the lead up to it, don't think there's been a single day I didn't look at an update about it, unless I was just too tired and rolled that update in with the one from the next day

Point is, if you have question I may not have all the answers, but I have a basic understanding and would be happy to answer them

I just think that supporting Ukraine is something important in the same way that knowing about the Iranian people's struggles and supporting them against their government is important

I hope we're all on the same page here, but if you don't support Ukraine I've got a mountain of reasons why I do, and I'm happy to answer questions

#I mean in many ways it's just better to follow someone actually living there; they say stuff before it's reported on in the news #(if it gets reported at all) #but people may not know any Ukrainians on here and... I mean I really am happy to talk about this #also had a moment the other day where I realized that I was going #'well obvious people don't know the details of the invasion of Ukraine; but obviously everyone has a basic knowledge of wagner' #turns out they do not; spent like half an hour of the drive giving my mom a summary of wagner and their role in things #(I was joking about how while people complain about Ukrainian neonazis that wagner... it's basically packed to the gills with them) #(turns out that's not something everybody knows) #(ultra condensed summary if you don't know who they are) #(they're mercenaries who work for russia; they're literally named after hitler's favorite composer because he was hitler's favorite compose #(for a long time they were the only ones taking any ground in Ukraine) #(and then they tried to do a mutiny and march on moscow; and now their leader is chilling in Belarus) #(he wasn't punished for it or anything; cause it turns out putin is in fact a push over) #anyway... yeah... may not know all the details about everything #but turns out I may have a lot more specialized knowledge that I realize given not everyone knows who wagner are #so they probably don't know a lot of the rest of the stuff... so yeah... happy to talk about it if you've got any questions
