    Weird moment to do a both-sides. Guess the US imperialist propaganda doesn’t allow you to think anything could be worse than Russia. Especially not the US empire itself.

      Previous US administrations at least tried to keep up a veneer of respecting international law. Under Trump is just naked imperialism which is pretty much the same as that of Russia, except their armed forces are actually capable. So yes, bothsideism is justified here for once.

        Youve got it backwards. Very recently russias been trying to catch up on atrocities, get back in shape, fit into that old ockrana uniform.

        But other than tgat america outdid them by orders of magnitude, and this calendqr year started defending its orphan bone crown pretty hard.

          Nah nah nah. Regardless of the reasoning behind it, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is inherently imperialist and fucked. Also fuck NATO.

              appreciate you sharing this. I will definitely look through this. I think calling russia’s action “imperialist” was definitely a flawed analysis on my part.

            You have no idea what imperialism is. “Country a attacks country b” isn’t imperialism in and of itself, even if you grant the flawed notion that it was an unprovoked attack.
