  The subject of discussion is the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

  If you are complaining that someone is discussing the Russian invasion of Ukraine without affirming that Russia invaded Ukraine, then you are holding a rather stupid objection.

    Have you watched his video? If you have, the tone would be obvious as he never once blames ruzzia for anything, calls ukranians puppets under western control and calls the war a proxy war.

      JT is an American, with a platform largely of other Americans.

      An American addressing other Americans about policies of the US and other NATO-aligned countries is legitimate and constructive political participation.

      It may make you feel better for someone to complain about Putin and Russia, but it already happens constantly and contributes nothing.

      I’m sure if JT somehow could change Putin’s mind, then he would do so, but his interest and opportunity are in discussing the American role.

      Most Americans believe that the US is virtuous and exceptional, and that expansive military force is the best defense against evil people like Putin who are personally responsible for all the conflict in the world.

      The narrative is childish and destructive, and criticizing it is completely necessary, even if in doing so someone fails to follow the same script you would have chosen based on your own priorities and concerns.

        That is not a problem

        Problem is, JT lies, throughout the whole video.

        There is almost not a single fact during his 5 minute rant, that wasnt ripped straight out of kremlin propaganda.
