It’s lemmygrad, we’re the spectre. I’d bet at least half of the other instances out there block us, there’s only like 300 dedicated users on this instance, and they still can’t stop complaining about lemmygrad/tankies

      The anti imperialists are the ones preventing the expansion of the organization that attacked Iraq, took part in several conflicts in former Yugoslavia, invaded Afghanistan, attacked Iraq again and then Libya.

      All while expanding to 15 countries in the last 30 years. That is the imperialism we are opposing.

          There’s a reason why countries want to be in NATO in 2023 and that reason is Russia.

          Don’t sell NATO short; I’m sure the Afghani opium and Iraqi oil is also a pretty good motivator to get countries in NATO!

          You did not just compare Russia preventing a Jihadist breakaway state from forming in their country to the US destroying Iraq for made up reasons and creating the catalyst for all modern Islamist terrorism, Jesus fucking Christ.

              More ahistorical nonsense.

              They asked the Soviets to help them…kinda like how the people of the Donbass also asked Russia to help them.

                  This is how you all act when confronted with your ignorance. Shut down and desperately try to project a facade of being above it all. Is it any wonder more and more people have stopped taking you status quo cultists seriously?

      Is that the measure? Then you must agree that the US, after (at a minimum) it’s genocidal invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, can never be trusted on matters of foreign policy again, right?

          Lmao, you probably think the soviets pushing into Nazi Germany on the eastern front is Russian “imperialism” too, since a military entered a foreign country. Read a book.

          Okay then can you tell me how Russia is extending it’s power and influence when it isn’t colonizing Ukraine?

          Why didn’t Russia invade it’s other neighbors if it’s sOoOoOo imperialist? There are easier targets than what was one of the larger armies in Europe?

              I’m not reading Lenin dude. After an hour with you lot I’m worried it’ll turn me into a fucking moron lol

              You never read anything that doesn’t already support your existing world view? Yikes, that…explains a lot.
              How can you even begin to argue against something that you refuse to even understand to begin with?

              I would say critically reading things you disagree with is even more important than reading things you already agree with.

          Are you seriously suggesting that not defending your territory from a very literal and an extensively documented attempt at genocide is the only valid option in your world view? Because holy fuck guy.

          Lmao “genocide” I am begging liberals to realize that words mean things.

          The Russian Federation did intervene in Ukraine’s attempted genocide of ethnic russians in the Donbas though, which makes your cute little strawman up there particularly ironic

            If words mean things, liberals can’t use them to say everyone they don’t like is a bad guy, and what’s more, with actual definitions, we’d quickly find that the west fits these definitions far more than any of their enemies. So naturally, words shouldn’t mean anything except “bad thing me no like.”
