I've been following the development of this war closely on Reddit and Twitter, and even if it's clear there's a ton of Western and Ukrainian propaganda, I wholeheartedly welcome it. The more it seems Ukraine is doing well, the more it'll help the Ukrainian morale and it's going to spread in Russia and possibly lead to the toppling of Putin and his sycophants. Maybe even leading to a democratic Russia.

Because the only chance for Ukraine and possibly NATO is for the Russian regime to crash and destroy itself. Putin won't become any saner than this, and the worse case is a war with NATO, which is unthinkable.

So I welcome the Ghost of Kyiv, the Snake Island 13, the Sunflower Babka and the Zelensky gigachad memes. The videos of Russian kids surrendering, normal people making molotovs and fighting for their liberty. May these memes spare us any more bloodshed. There's not much more us Western civilians can do.
