You illegally invaded our country on the pretense of a lie. Special Military Operation? Special, alright! Something about Nazis? Because you want to bring back the old U.S.S.R.? Did you get hooked on that Billy Joel song? Maybe he’ll give you a free concert if you get the hell out of our country.

You can’t get enough of your own people to murder our grandpas and grandmas, so you pay hired thugs.

You don’t have technological advancement, so you pay another country for their drones.

You deny you will use nuclear weapons because you say our country is going to use dirty bombs. We don’t have roofs over our heads much less dirty bombs. Propaganda! Western governments engaging in nuclear blackmail.

You say Western governments want global domination. Who wants global domination? I beg to differ. Are you just saying that to placate your media? Since your people don’t have a clue what is really going on because you control the media in your country.

They want to control the world’s natural resources. When you’re done there won’t be any natural resources.

They don’t want sovereignty for other nations. We enjoyed our sovereignty from you and Russia before you invaded.
