      For example, it’s when they talk about how they’re “liberating” Ukrainian people. Here are some of the recent posts from the OP:

      Do they oppose the US? Sure. But are they freeing Ukrainian people? Hell no - they’ve been suffering for 4 years.

      It’s like saying “America is just helping Iranian people to overthrow their government”. They don’t care about Iranian people at all.

        They are freeing Russian-Ukrainians in Ukraine.
        Those have been suffering for 12 years.

        Ukraine had a coup and the new leader decided to oppress the Russian-Ukrainians.
        Zelensky presented himself as a peace candidate opposing the warmongering corrupt government,
        but did the opposite once in power.

        Large parts of Russia have been given to Ukraine in the past during the Soviet times,
        ironically to prevent invasion of both Russia and Ukraine from Western powers.
        Russia wants those areas back and those areas want Russia back.
        The Russian-Ukrainians in Donetsk and Lugansk Oblasts
        tried doing an independence referendum before the war,
        but were shot and killed at the polling station.

          In my comment below, I explained what happens to Ukrainians in those territories. To put it short, they lose their homes and have to evacuate somewhere else within Ukraine (they can’t leave the country or cross the front line). Did Russia provide any help to those poor souls? No. Is this what is called “freeing”?
