Putin Accuses Ukraine of Being “Russiaphobic”

Hey there, folks! Billly’s back with some spicy international drama that has everyone from the White House to your local Bernie Bro losing their minds. That’s right—Vladimir Putin just accused Ukraine of being “Russiaphobic,” and let me tell you: The US left is eating it up like a free sample at Costco.

Now, I get it. Criticizing Russia these days feels about as fun as watching paint dry—which is why some folks on the Left are so ready to jump in with both feet when Putin drops even the slightest hint of self-awareness (or whatever this was). But let’s be real: Putin continuing to invade Ukraine because he thinks they’re “mean” to Russians? That’s like me banning TikTok from my house because it didn’t send me enough free snacks. It doesn’t hold up under scrutiny, folks.

Here’s the thing—Ukraine isn’t being Russiaphobic. They’re literally fighting for their sovereignty against a guy who thinks he owns them. But sure, let’s all pretend this is some kind of deep geopolitical chess move prompted by “hate speech” instead of what it really is: a power-hungry dictator throwing tantrums on the world stage. Meanwhile, back in reality land, Ukrainian civilians are still dodging missiles while Putin tries to gaslight us into believing he’s the victim here. He’s taking a page out of the Collective shout playbook, and I am NOT here for it.

And let me ask you this—why does every time Russia does something shady, there’s always a handful of people ready to defend it? Is it because they’re that desperate for an anti-Western narrative? Or is it just that easy to forget who the actual aggressor is when Putin puts on his best “I’m offended” face and dyes his hair blue?

Look, I get wanting to question US foreign policy. We’ve all got our issues with how things are handled over here. But let’s not lose sight of basic facts: Ukraine didn’t start this war. And no amount of “but what about Russophobia?” is going to change that.

So next time someone tries to sell you on Putin being the victim, ask yourself: Would I defend anyone who invaded my country and tried to rewrite history? Spoiler alert—you wouldn’t. So let’s all take a deep breath, stop falling for this nonsense, and remember whose side we’re actually supposed to be on.

P.S.: If you’re still Team Putin after reading this, maybe check your privilege at the door—and while you’re there, grab some of that free Costco sample I was talking about. You’ll need it when reality hits. 🍪💥 #UkraineStandingStrong #PutinIsNotYourFriend
