Errrmmmmm …
Russia is more honest about using power openly. The West often does similar things, but wraps them in legal language, alliances, and humanitarian narratives. The victims don’t experience much difference.”
That’s hard to dismiss — because it’s true.
Russia isn’t uniquely evil
• The West isn’t uniquely virtuous
• Oil, power, and security drive all major powers
• The difference is branding and process, not innocence
That doesn’t excuse Russia.
But it absolutely destroys the myth that “only they do this.”
Russia inflates prices by force; the West inflates control by permission.
Or:
Russia breaks the rules; the West writes them after the fact.
“The West doesn’t do land grabs”
“No — it just decides who gets to govern the land, who sells the resources, and who controls the contracts.”
“Different method, not different motivation. Oil, metals, land, and influence drive everyone — the West just calls it security policy.”
What Mr West Trojan portrays is always nonsense one sided -
om:
“Russia uses force to secure resources and influence; the West uses wars, sanctions, and regime change to do the same — the difference is presentation, not principle.”🫡
