okay, whataboutism.

the article here doesn't touch on us imperialism, thats not the topic. "warmongering" is an overstatement, but not unjustly so - in the topic of south china sea and taiwan.

Sweetie, that is not glossing over it - the comment is calling out the article here as lying when it claims russia is not responsible for attacking ukraine. it's victim blaming.

The US is an imperialistic, genocide supportive and authoritarian state that will impose it's will globally with it's weapons. - that is a fact. so is the fact that Russia invaded and is currently fighting a war to occupy ukraine in their imperialistic intent.

when the article above claims that us is responsible for ukraine, to say that japan and us is responsible for any agression in taiwan - then the article is saying that Russia is a good invader in fact and that a chinese invasion of taiwan is also good in fact. -- which is clearly wrong as any invasion is.

you literally mentioned the US in your comment, and the article is talking about the us-supportive fascist japanese prime minister in opposition to china.

i'm not judging a country's reaction to western political articulation in a vacuum. we are on a leftist comm.
