    I won’t say Roger Waters is a propagandist for Russia. But he is woefully naive.

    I remember when he came out asking them to surrender to Russia. It was because he hates war so much that he just thinks they should sit down and surrender. Which is incredibly stupid and naive approach.

    His dad died in the war, that’s really sad. That doesn’t mean that it gives bullies the right to intimidate everyone because war is bad. If you wanted to be anti-war he would be standing up to Putin.

    So, I don’t think he’s pro Russia. I think he’s either incredibly stupid or naive.

      Roger Waters is not backing down on his controversial stand that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was “provoked”: He repeated that charge Wednesday to no less a body than the United Nations Security Council itself, giving a 16-minute speech at Russia’s behest.

      …

      “The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, I condemn it in the strongest possible terms,” Waters said in his speech. “Also, the Russian invasion of Ukraine was not unprovoked, so I also condemn the provocateur in the strongest possible terms. There, that’s got that out of the way.”

      If hes not pro russia why is he spouting so much pro russian propaganda?

        because in his stupid worldview “provocateur” is “standing up and defending your home”. I stand by what I said. I don’t think he’s pro russia necessarily, I think he’s so anti war that he’s stupid about it.
