@UkrainianAna He and his ilk’s primary goal is to stop Ukraine from joining the EU and NATO. They don’t want Ukraine to become successful outside of russia’s orbit. Which is why they push for a ceasefire. At this point, he knows russia can’t win outright so he’s pushing for “peace” now.
@halalflow@DenimsTV Like yeah if you’re being technical, he’s not actually discrediting the accuser, just railing against the media for leaving out a supposedly crucial piece of context and trying to paint Platner’s actions as benign as possible
@halalflow@DenimsTV Ryan is telescoping this to cast doubt on the allegations as if that was a crucial missing piece of context that altered the story (it didn’t). And he was deliberately bringing attention to it to allude to the idea that she invited him over or he misinterpreted her texts.
@iaminstagood@ryangrim He’s saying the working class vibes were emphasised and used as a crutch to override all of platner’s flaws, from his bloodlust to the Nazi tat. Him being working class and anti-Zionist was all you focused on while trying to handwave away the obvious red flags around this guy
@Treasureeeee@ryangrim At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter if he was targeted or who is revealing this info. It’s true, and it’s damaging. Plus he worked for blackwater and had a bloodlust, which should be disqualifying.
@CentristMadness@Alejandro27Ale Pretty much confirms they won’t learn anything from this. Ryan Grim is a rape apologist covering for his nepo friend, not to mention a campist rooting for Assad and Putin.
@long_shot_45@holgersjacket@ryangrim It’s not up to Russia and it has never been articulated how Ukraine being in nato threatens Russia. Also Russia continually denies Ukraine as an actual nation and culture. It’s never been about nato, just irredentism
@long_shot_45@ryangrim Platner opposing Israel does not absolve him of anything. If you don’t want to give the pro-Israel media a win, then don’t prop up an ex-mercenary who loved killing Iraqis and Afghans, which doesn’t make you that much better than the pro-Israel people by the way.
@ryangrim You insinuated the omitted detail altered the entirety of the story or muddled Platner’s motive, which it did not because it was not in fact relevant.
@ryangrim This is pure cope from you. It wasn’t just the lack of vetting, it was the fact you guys defended and stuck by Platner after the Nazi tat and mercenary revelations came to light.
