      It’s remarkably easy to deceive most Americans, at least, when it comes to certain countries. We’re pretty indoctrinated about what it’s “really like” in countries we don’t like. From cartoons we watch as a kid, to what they teach us in middle and high school, to what we see on news/documentaries and social media. By the time they claimed Russia was invading Ukraine for no reason other than Putin wanting land, that was all the information Americans needed. They happily accepted every pro-Ukrainian narrative and rejected every fact that contradicted it. The only media opposition were MAGA outlets who love Putin for conservative reasons, and this unreliable media minority was used to dismiss the truth as fringe conspiracy.

      The Western European diaspora are spoiled with all the colonial free riding, stolen fertile land from Indigenous people, inheritance thief from abducted Indigenous children who cannot disprove fake documentation that lied that the will of racist white free riders is the will of abducted children, free child slaves in Residential fake schools, and favoritism from transcontinental empires. The majority of Western Europeans and British emigrants are like the useless bystanders in action hero movies.
