It made me angry. This is how misinformation propagates like a virus. Though, I'm glad that many people are seeing it.

Yeah it's from a list which went around social media a while ago. Hilariously inaccurate.

95% of these coups are indisputable, maybe 5% depends on the perspective of the country. It’s not fake news lmao.

This is a nice pivot to the issue...
It's only misinformation insofar as
"America has invaded/toppled 50 nations"
and
"America has invaded/toppled 40 nations"
are significantly different statements.
So, in what world do those extra 10 nations make the point that America is an overaggressive hegemon void?
Or, more specifically, can someone conjure up a **single** example where this "Russian/Chinese propaganda" / "misinformation virus" is actually relevant to the real world? Like, do you think that because America has only invaded 50 countries MINUS Ukraine that will paint a completely different, much fairer picture to the eyes of impressionable redditors?

Absolutely. In fact, many Ukrainians at the time were pissed off because US (and EU for that matter) did not involve themselves MORE and pretty much only "deepconcerned" all the way through the Revolution of Dignity.

US was/is backing up our politicians that were driving the revolution, Joe Biden was sitting in our parliament. So US was controlling our politicians, Ukraine was just a puppet. For me it is not funny.

Bolivia and Venezuela are bullshit too. Blaming everything on the US is just lazy.
