Now let's play the game : does the poster mean both should be legitimate, or both condemned ?
Hopefully the latter.
Chud rag
Fuck Russia, fuck Israel, fuck the United States, fuck China.
That is how get all the STIs.
State transmitted Imperialism.
At least I'll be giving them to someone deserving then.
Sharing is caring, as they say
If it weren't for double standards we wouldn't have any standards at all.
"The strong do what they can, the weak suffer what they must"
We are back in a period of great power actors. I should brush up on my Thucydides.
We haven't been out of that period for 200 years. The current set of actors are just more clumsy and less elegant.
The US seems to want to emulate 1800s Britain I guess.
Let's hope the Luddites are more successful this time.
There's legal invasive annexation?
Edit: Wait. No. I get it now. It's annexation when there's a believably responsible reason for it. It's illegal annexation when there isn't. Control is just, whatever annexation is and then some.
Whenever it's the US or Israel doing the crime, it's legal!
Nobody is saying that.
The New York Times is? Or at least, they word it so one seems a lot more acceptable than the other.
Can you quote then?
It's in the picture above?
You must never have heard Trump speak. He literally says that.
Nobody is saying that on this webpage. I do not need you to quote trump fabricating the impression of a consensus where there is none. In particular without using, well, quotes.
Right, by “nobody” I thought you were implying that literally nobody was claiming full authority to do whatever they wanted. “Nobody on this webpage” makes much more sense.
I feel like considering the audience and not straw manning improves everyone's filter bubble and avoids cementing hatred to those outside of it.
And we sure have enough hatred. :)
Yeah, it's called manifest destiny
The headlines about Russia taking “control” of Crimea started one way and ended in the other…
The thing about propaganda is, sometimes, they have to ease you into it slowly
It’s a huge mistake to look at these things as so black-and-white. It’s all very complicated.
My impression as a Russian is that annexation of Crimea was silently allowed by the US and the EU politicians. Putin has become a pariah after invading Donbass
If by “silently allowed “you mean “Trump was too busy being so corrupt with his own bullshit that the United States didn’t do its duty as the global protector of democracy“ then, yeah. That. The entire planet collectively will agree with you.
And now we have lost our position as world police, which we did an awful lot of work to earn. Americans don’t have universal healthcare because of the trillions of dollars and decades we spent earning that position. But whatever. Enjoy Crimea while you have it. apparently, Ukrainians are much more incredible, bad asses than anyone ever imagined, and, personally, I am very much enjoying watching them kicking your asses on a regular basis.
Hopefully that ends soon, and we can all get back to economic warfare instead.
Trump was too busy being so corrupt with his own bullshit that the United States didn’t do its duty as the global protector of democracy
Crimea annexation was before Trump went into politics
I am very much enjoying watching them kicking your asses
I'm just glad that I'm not a piece of shit like you are.
If by “silently allowed “you mean “Trump
Nah, the politicians that let Putin get away with a slap on the wrist for annexing Crimea were pre-Trump. Mainly Angela Merkel, actually. Fuck her.
Trump has of course also enabled Putin since the full scale invasion.
