Just because Trump also breaks international law, doesn't make it better when Putin does it (and not the first time either). Yes, Russia Man Bad! ππ» Orange Man Also Bad!
Nobody mentioned Trump. I am so fucking sick of liberals acting like the US wasn't constantly attacking other countries before Trump.
Joe Biden supported and enabled the genocide in Gaza, and every president before him committed invasions and war crimes. The fact that you think it's just a Trump thing and not a US empire thing reveals your geopolitical understanding to be puddle-deep. Hell, Putin was our guy. We put him there.
Liberals still deny that Biden is responsible for the genocide in Gaza
Trump is the president right now though
That is not an excuse to forgo object permanence and pretend Trump is an anomaly in any way except for how blatant he is. He's not a deviation from US policy, he's a distillation of it.
Liberals were happy to close their eyes and support genocide when it was covered by the thinnest veil of decorum
I'm just saying they might've mentioned Trump only since he is the president right now
That's fair, but I also can't know if they think Trump is an aberration and I consider it important to broaden the scope of the discussion
The United States didn't start invading and meddling in other countries until trump?
You think the fact that Russia is put under sanctions, barred from participating in international sports and other activities, has their gas lines to the rest of Europe bombed by the US, and is generally treated like they're Nazi Germany is sensible? In a world where the countries making those decisions turn away when Israel and the US do much worse?
So do you feel like Russia shouldn't be treated like that or the US and Israel also should be treated like that? I think the latter tbh
Well the US and Israel are much worse than Russia, so they should be treated worse than that, as should Western European countries that support their atrocities
Trump has been president since 1846?
I dunno, Russian man seems pretty sensible all things considered.
If the warzaw pact was still a thing and it had slowly been inducting south- and central American nations, despite agreements not to do so, and it was now about to induct Mexico (which had had its government couped and replaced with a pro-russian government some years before), then I think it would be pretty sensible of the US to draw a red line at mexican Warzaw pact membership and invade in order to avoid it.
Also in this analogy Texas is part of Mexico and the Mexican government has been bombing Texas for eight years, in breach of two treaties with the US.
So mexico = ukraine? Then texas = ?
It's not a perfect metaphor, but Texas would be the the two Ukrainian states with a majority ethnic russian population that sought independence after eurromaidan
Well lets see the why shall we.
Russia: Engaged in a military operation because of ever encroaching US imperialism via NATO and installing a Nazi puppet government against the wishes of the Ukrainian people as is the norm and attempting to liberate them
US/Orange man; oil and stopped those EvIl CoMmiEs
Oh shit, I forgot I'm posting to a Russian propaganda board π my bad, forget it happened. And please don't report me to GRU.
If Putin said the sky was blue, would you suddenly insist it wasn't?
Also: "everyone I disagree with is a russian propagandist. I am the only sapient creature in the world" - You, when you're particularly honest with yourself
They 100% would
Considering how they reacted when Trump explained basic Eastern European history to
you're probably right
βRussian Propagandaβ Means Disputing US Propaganda
Cope
Why is attacking the outer reaches of Ukraine then, when NATO and US imperialism are the problem? Also how is the government nazi with two Jews in it's cabinet of ministers? You know, the central part of Nazism is the antisemitism. Pretty weak excuses for an invasion.
How can America be racist when they had a Black President?
I know about a certain nazi government with way more than two.
Because those outer reaches are the regions that asked them for help when Ukraine spent 8 years slaughtering them for being too ethnically Russian
And Russia finally came to help them in 2021 and not amy sooner.
Yeah, they were hoping to reach a diplomatic solution but the Ukranian nazi government wouldn't stop breaking treaties. Your point?
Typical lib selective memory. Ukraine has been attempting drone swarms into Moscow targeting civilians for half a year at least, just recently struck at Putin's houses to attempt a decapitation strike.
Oreshnik is a good reminder that if they really wanna throw away conventions of war, they don't have a single way to intercept what would come back to them. Even then, the targets were completely legitimate and civilian casualties minimal (despite Ukraine regularly setting up bases in civilian centers, which is a flagrant war crime)
Regarding your edit: Obama was the president of the most racist country on earth ffs. There were plenty of Jewish SS members. Y'all have had it explained to you for ages and you turn around and say it again verbatim next time because you're not interested in learning, you're just cheering for your team and it makes me not at all surprised that y'all choose the guys in Nazi garb with Nazi insignias saying they're going to do Nazi stuff first chance they get.
Are you saying the 3 year war is in retaliation for drone strikes within the past year?
It must be hard going through life being this intentionally obtuse
