I’m wondering what our take on this is.

Here’s an example on libsky . It reads as genuinely frustrated. However I’ve seen this same line trotted out by NAFO about Ukraine and how it’s impossible it’s being directed by the US Government, because people have agency (making it Russian propaganda/“shallow analysis”).

I feel like there’s a small point being made, obviously not all groups funded by America/American proxies are incapable of acting alone.

    I mean people’s agency can definitely be suppressed, constrained or limited by circumstance. Including geopolitical circumstance.

    Ukraine for example has very little option between being the puppet of the US and having large parts of its economy sold off to western companies or having its territory seized by Russia regardless of how much the Ukrainian people thirst for freedom.
