genuinely referred to it’s democratic decisions
So you're just going to completely ignore the fact that there's this huge gaping hole in your logic around the question "how do we know the Western-backed faction genuinely represents the popular will" and pretend that you actually answered it and proceed to attack me over not just blindly accepting that claim based on nothing the way you do.
Really doesn't do much to dispel the notion that your criticisms of the West are just empty talk, and that in practice you're as blindly loyal to your state as anyone.
As usual, any critical thought, or anything short of "USA! USA!" is a "Russian talking point."
