"The usual online army of 'useful idiots' is out in force, seeking to demonise the West and deify its enemies, no matter how oppressive."
"Berating US president Donald Trump for going back on his pledges to end America's 'forever wars' is one thing."
"The contention that the ceasefire announced last week represents some great triumph of 11th-hour negotiation is certainly so absurd that anyone who genuinely claims to believe it must be smoking a very potent leaf."
The online discourse frequently features individuals who undermine the West and elevate its adversaries, regardless of the latter's oppressive actions. Criticism of US President Donald Trump for not fulfilling his promises to end perpetual military engagements is common. The recent ceasefire is portrayed as a significant achievement, but such claims are deemed absurd and indicative of a disconnect from reality.
