#but even as a diasporan armenian watching her country get attacked by azerbaijan i dont support russia attacking ukraine

i think the other frustrating thing is like. people online forget that politics and war is complicated. it sucks, it's tedious. civilians are being hurt and killed as a result of fascism and greed. this isnt a saturday morning cartoon. you can't always be spoon-fed tl;drs on who's the good guy and who's the villain. this shit is fluid, and often just looks like this:

#like. ex: ukraine is actually an azeri ally. they're buddies. #but even as a diasporan armenian watching her country get attacked by azerbaijan i dont support russia attacking ukraine #and even now. despite ukraine having been an azeri ally. azeris are driving in the streets celebrating russia for helping armenia back down #like. this is shit is messy. it has layers. #my friends were talking about how armenia and india want to work together more. and my friend (who's indian!) was concerned #b/c while she supports armenia - india's current govt is fascist and we collectively. obviously. dont support that. #like!! none! of this! is clear-cut!!! #meanwhile my other armenian friend and i were like absolutely. like muslims in india are fighting to survive. #and armenians are also afraid of suffering through a 2nd genocide #what choice do we have if we have to buy arms from india #when no country will sanction aze or intervene in a substantial way #we've had 3 years of politicians saying 'someone should do something!!' and then crickets. #what would you do? #xangoeswah
