TBF, most Westerners are misinformed about why the US wanted this war, so I usually don’t accuse them of being aligned with those interests. They usually imagine Ukraine as Western corporate media want them to imagine it: as a peaceful, monocultural European liberal democracy which was suddenly invaded unprovoked by an imperialist autocrat bent on conquering all of Europe.
I just assume they feign stupidity. Those who comment a lot, they clearly aren't dumb, they're very knowledgeable. They aren't average westerners.
