Because the Russian Federation is a belligerent nation undermining EU institutions1, carrying out acts of sabotage on EU soil2, threatening nuclear war regularly3, threatening to reconquer EU member states4, and conducting genocide in Ukraine5.
And that is not to mention that actions taken by Kremlin assets in the US and Hungary.

Russia supported the Assad regime in Syria.
So, yes things can get much worse.
It would seriously be more effective to just isolate us in a box and move on with the world.
Yep, hang back and watch as ramped corruption takes hold and guts the American military (Along with everything else), just at it gutted the Russian military (And society).
Ethnic Russians from the Moscow area are not being conscripted at the same rates as minority groups from the poorer areas of Russia.
It didn’t go through without pushback. Soldiers and officers resisted. I resisted. But that’s what happens when the senior command doesn’t care and the politicians even less. That’s what happens when you’re quick on the trigger and operationally burned-out to the max. That’s what happens when you’re in an unending war that fails to bring the hostages back alive month after month. You lose moral judgment.
Thought that part was interesting.
I had a similar experience as yours. . .
May the bastards that wronged us stub their toes weekly, may both sides of their pillow be warm, may their tires find every sharp object on the road.
Are people finally now realizing that transphobia affects cis people??
Same for homophobia. Sadly, some folks don’t realize until it happens to themselves or to someone they care about.
Hopefully, these stories will help wake some people up to that reality before that happens.
ikr? Lemmy is full of articles, rightfully, bashing Israel for the shit they do. But the second you criticize HAMAS (Not Palestinians) and suddenly your some ZiOnIsT bOt.
Fucking absurd.

Zionist hatemongering brainrot

NewsCord, a generative AI platform that compares and contrasts said coverage.
Great, more AI slop.
Shame a nuanced take is being down-voted.
Yep, massive difference between the two.
I thought the same when the funny hot dog man turned war-criminal marched a surprising distance into Russia.
Nothing ever happens. :(
Friendly reminder that Russian, Chinese, and other Dictatorships’ state media outlets are ecstatic that Krasnov is gutting VOA.
Yep, select groups only.
And if you have to ask, no you’re too poor.
Watching the ‘genocide Joe’ crowd cope with the fact they supported the turbo genocide candidate will never not be funny to me (In the grim irony kind of way).
