I wanted to share a great blog that debunks #westsplaining from the perspective of people living in central/eastern Europe. It takes some of the common arguments in the #West why #Ukraine should surrender to the #Russian aggressors and shows how they are misguided and frankly silly. I think it's well worth a read esp. if you do live in the West:

I think it’s important to name it for what it is. A toxic mix of xenophobia, dictatorship, militarism, open desire to mass murder civilians and imperialism = fascism. Our media is very shy about using the word. Shouldn’t be. And once we name it, then western leaders should explain why they are talking to fascists at UNSC and are limiting supplies of weapons to those who are defending against a fascist aggression. #Russia #ukraineupdate #StandWithUkraine

Intercepted Russian phone calls, #Russian soldiers, complaining the commanders are drunk, and can never find them, dozens of truckloads of bodies being shipped back to Russia and people learning Putin is lying and keeping it secret for fear of having riots to overthrow the government! #ukraine #russians #russiansolders #russianinvasion #putin #russianarmy #ukraineupdate https://youtu.be/YUzNjhLUvVM
