that russia isn’t completely walled off from the rest of the world is a travesty.
The fact that America still exists is a shame for humanity. Genocide, slavery, illegal wars, genocide.
Okay ml
Don't like the messenger or the message?
Both things can be true
One thing is more true.
Yeah, just like Russia.
Too bad both countries are huge.
Lol. Russia doesn't coup other governments socialist projects and install fascist dictators. Russia doesn't control the focus of international aggression resulting in the deaths of millions of innocent civilians.
Oh, guess you're just a tankie. Bless you.
No, just another victim of American imperialism. Russia hasn't threatened my country in decades, if not centuries. America? About a month.
Cool story.
Ukrainians probably don't care because Russia has invaded them.
The point is both countries pull that shit. Just because Russia didn't target yours this time doesn't change that they pull the same shit.
Ironically, that kind of selfish narrow thinking makes you sound really American. You'd fit right in with Republican "fuck you, got mine" culture, only having empathy when it affects you rather than when it affects anyone.
Lol. Maybe if I didn't also have historical analysis.
Clearly you lack that too, considering the Rus State has existed over 4x longer than the USA.
And modern Russia didn't become that big through peace. Much like the USA didn't become bigger than 13 colonies through peace.
Like I said, you'd fit right in with American Republicans. Lack of historical knowledge is right on theme for them too.
Answer the question.
Don't feed the troll.
Don't comment if you have nothing to add.
How many wars has America started in its entire existence. How many has Russia started, despite being 4x older?
Lmao.
