But they are conscripts

You have to know nothing of Ukrainian history and the rapid rise of Ukrainian patriotism in the last couple of decades to think that Ukrainians are unwillingly fighting the war. I've been to Ukraine several times and most Ukrainians who aren't from the far east would probably rather die than see Russia take control of the country again

Stalin literally genocided millions of Ukrainians in the Holodomor

I've been to Ukraine several times and most Ukrainians who aren't from the far east would probably rather die than see Russia take control of the country again Why are you twisting my words? I never justified Russia invading Ukraine i just stated that i believe in the right that every person should be allowed to seek refuge which Zelensky denies. My close family has a female Ukrainian woman in their house with her children and unfortunately she was seperated from her husband, even tho both wanted to flea. Not all men have interest in fighting and potentially dying during a war. Why would anyone deny this? And yes i believe you are exploiting yourself with a heroic narrative posing on literal war fields where your own civilians shed blood on for the cover of a FASHION magazine. Thats not even representation anymore. Thats disgusting and glorifying war. A shameful act
HeWolf Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 The whole western world ignoring what of a clown and tragic polititian this anti-pregressive anti-democratic man is just because they got to play victim against America's enemy. A total case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend///. ps. he can get it anytime tho. wreck me daddy
makeme Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 He has been cirngy as hell to me ever since he did that grammy speech.
rihannabiggestfan Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) I'm glad most of the American people are waking up. Some of the literal Ukrainian propaganda (and I don't mean the Vogue photoshoot) posted by neolibs here tho Edited July 28, 2022 by rihannabiggestfan

Because ironically the only one arguably platforming propaganda is... You Again. If the criticism of Americans or Westerners at large is a line of inquiry about their tax dollars going to Ukraine, I can understand that (especially if it's a question about why that money isn't being used to materially benefit domestic citizens) - I can empathize with that point of view. And I get that frustration. That's not what you're doing though. So many of your obscure tweets are particularly directed at Zelensky, and by extension Ukrainians, to make him/them look like corrupt, immoral tricksters aiming to guzzle money from naive children of the West. Look at some of the twitter accounts you've posted in this very thread. Just a glance at their TLs will suffice. I'm asking you honestly - what is the end goal? Is this concern rooted in your own life not being materially improved by what is your tax money, OR is it to usher in apathy and malignance towards Ukraine as proxy to then justify Ukrainian suffering? That the "anti-democratic, corrupt, Nazi housing" (which are all issues, yes) country of Ukraine then deserves the suffering - something the world at large disagrees on? Because I hate to break it to you - Ukraine could be the most immoral, drug fueled mafia state there is to exist on earth and yet a) the invasion and war crimes commited by Russia would still remain illegal and b) it wouldn't justify a thing. And this is true for all of Americas "enemies", and this is without getting into the cartoonish mess of Russia being the one "correcting" these problems with Ukraine via... murder Edited July 28, 2022 by Phantom

Plenty of Ukrainian men fled Ukraine weeks before war and even now they can bribe border guards to escape. If they decided to stay in Ukraine they have EVERY interest to fight and Zelensky is not at fault for this war nor for the concept of war. Blame Putin

yonsé Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 i think the one thats craziest is the one where shes posing with the soldiers in front of a bullet riddled plane. like babe what ?

Kool_Aid_King Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 Tone deaf and ridiculous. Some of you clowns in here talking about "raising awareness" when we Americans (This was for US Vogue correct?) are already HYPER AWARE of this war seeing as our economy has completely tanked, gas prices are sky high, inflation is hitting records, cost of living is becoming unlivable for most. You go to a random ass store, you drive down a street and you see billboards "Pray for Ukraine" and on top of that our country is giving like 40B+ worth of aid and help to Ukraine. This is ridiculous and unnecessary. I feel for the people, but to tank our own economy to do so is WILD, especially given how little America does for black and brown people across the world who suffer from worse things.

You Do you actually believe this vogue shoot or any or the millions of articles out every day talking about “Ukrainian heros” are not propaganda? Propaganda is not just things the side you consider the villain says. Both sides use propaganda. Ukrainian propaganda is everywhere, you cannot scape it. But keep loving the Ghost Kiev and such. The thounsands and thousands of tweets that appear to me everyday with people saying things such as “Russians as subhuman barbaric mongols and Ukrainians are real Europeans”. And I, as an Argentinian, have to read these things amd think it’s pretty to see people who think they are better than other beacause they are “Europeans”. Neolibs call people like me uncivilised everyday to defend Ukraine, because we aren’t part of the “Western world”.

However anyone here has yet to give a single reason as to why it's problematic to have these "high-fashion" photos. Annie Leibovitz is a famous photographer, so I don't see how it's outrageous for her to do a high-profile story on anyone, be it a celebrity or anyone else.

Alak96 Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 The corrupt man who ilegalized EVERY leftist political party ended up being an opportunist who gives zero f*cks about Ukraine? Color me surprised First the Grammys, then Eurovision and now this. The PR propaganda is too much
