Most of western public (normies) outrage over Russia attacking Ukraine comes from mainstream media who told them to CARE this time around hence the outrage

Case in point and it’s a bitter pill for some. And a salve for others.
Very valid point. Someone once said “opinions are a lot like A$$holes—everyone has one”

He is allowed to criticize, but does that mean he is immune from the consequences of his speech? Free speech works both ways, correct?
But the gist of my defense of the US is that beside criticizing any particular policy, cultural issue, or foreign affairs event, if you think the US is inherently 'evil' or 'inferior' to other countries, then find one that is superior and move there.
Take homelessness, for one example. Homelessness is a problem, but that does not mean the US is inherently 'evil' because there are many factors that contributed to homelessness, and many of those factors also exists in other countries. Homelessness is a symptom of incompetence, not malice. Become a homelessness activist, but not anti-US.
Being anti-US mean you hate everything that make up the US. Every speech you make, there is something negative about the US. You minimize the good, even when the US have a good policy or did something excellent that made you or your family come to the US in the first place. In short, you find evil intent behind everything that make up the US. Then why the hell should I take your criticism, even under the Free Speech umbrella, seriously? If the US is that terrible, just pack up and leave.

Commander? Is he planning the war himself? And he ordered a full mobilization in the end of the second day of the war? He's just lucky the West is giving him anti-tank weapons and Turkey is giving him drones. Where are all the super weapons Ukrainians had been designing for years?Putin getting humiliated by a guy who used to play piano with his d*ck,who transformed from a comedian to a real chief of state and commander,how amazing.
Yes, true. Sorry to get carried but it’s just pathetic how they would arm twist the rest of the world for freedom of expression, speech and criticism but when it comes to the “country of the emigrants” itself, the best defense to criticism they can come up with is “go back to your country”.
You have full right to tear him apart with counter argument. But leave the country is not a counter argument.He is allowed to criticize, but does that mean he is immune from the consequences of his speech? Free speech works both ways, correct?

Ah yes the age of “get off ma land” doesn’t wash anymore. People are so quick to forget the east India trading company and what they did to other peoples lands and property and resources.
Call modern day immigration collective repayment of the debt many of these nations owe.
This!!! It’s not a favor. The wealth they have is the product of 300 years of looting. Not to mention that these emigrants (specially from this part of the world) are far from being freeloaders but rather some of the most productive citizens they got.

you didnt really mean that.. come on
there are many reasons for being homeless person. you can be as competent as you wish but sometimes your childhood conditions, accidents, unluck, disease, betrayal… you name it this horrible stuff could happen to anyone regardless of their capabilities.
Its a duty for every man to care for his neighbor to some degree, after all a King without a people is a nobody.
A person undermines their own arguments against a country and its first principals when they have chosen to live there and benefit from that countries first principals. It's a fair question, why choose to live somewhere if you are so critical of it, a person has the choice not to live there.
Ouch, the cringe broke my leg.
