    That kind of blatant mischaracterization of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is exactly why people call you guys Tankies.

      That lack of understanding of politics outside of the western propaganda machine is why people call you guys Libs. You are usually the baddies.

        Russia occupying Crimea or attacking Kyiv is not “propaganda” it is material, verifiable fact. If your position is “those are already part of Russia” then fuck you.

              whataboutism is a great way to shut down argument though.

              i dont need to think about any context that would incriminate my country. whataboutism.

          Acting like constantly expanding NATO to Russia’s border and trying to get an upper hand for a possible first strike in a nuclear exchange by stationing Murican nukes there is “west defending from possible eastern aggression” while trying to justify one more “defensive preemptive strike” in the Middle East because Eglin cheeto eaters can’t ever be consistent. Pipe down and stay in your hemisphere you trash heap unless you want to explain how Crimea somehow didn’t have a valid referendum because Murican State Department doesn’t like the results as if they know anything about Crimea (must be magic how Russia doesn’t need to do much policing in an area that supposedly doesn’t really want to belong to Russia, no resistance to “occupation” at all) but Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, Puerto Rico, Guantanamo in Cuba, the Virgin Islands are parts of the USA. Or how the USA is justified invading the entire Caribbean for a whole century without any foreign superpower trying to put nukes there, just because the US is an imperialist entity into constant landgrabs.

          What’s this btw? Is it the US directly interfering in Ukrainian politics to set up their puppets for over 10 years? I bet you shills want everyone to forget about that. Gtfo lol.
