    That may be the case, but it doesn’t help the US cause. That is like the US is saying “we aren’t Nazis, we just support them” or “we aren’t terrorists, we just support them”.

    Also this is an indicator that the US narrative on Ukraine is slipping publicly. They couldn’t hold the narrative that Russia did it, so now the blame is starting to go inward. It is closer to home now.

      They have been saying they aren’t terrorists whilst supporting them for decades. They have been saying they aren’t Nazis whilst supporting them for decades. Yet they don’t get called out why? Because of misdirection. Shifting the blame. Pointing the finger at the other guy. The US being called out globally as being responsible for this act has much greater ramifications than misdirecting and blaming Ukraine. They will misdirect and get away with it. When the time comes for the US to abandon Ukraine they will say “see look at all this bad stuff Ukraine was doing we couldn’t continue to support them after all there terrible acts they were hiding from us.” Then the libs will all nod their heads and be like “yeah of course we are still the good guys.”

      I’m not saying this article is bad. It’s good that they are loosing control, but it’s still a misdirection no matter how you look at it.
