    Ukraine–the county literally being invaded by Russia–is an imperialist, war mongering tyrant? Get the fuck out of here with this slop. Could’ve just left it with the main flags, but throwing Ukraine’s flag in there is legit braindead Chinese/Russian trolling.

      “How can they not be a Good Guy if they’re fighting a Bad Guy!”

      Liberals continue to get there politics from capeshit.

      Chinese/Russian trolling.

      Just openly admitting that you see all foreigners as interchangeable villains.

        Any open war is an absolute worst thing any country can do.

        And by opening a conflict, it makes the other side automatically looking better. Irregardless of any history or precedens.

        Specially if it drags for years. Just go back and let it be.

          Just go home and let those guys keep bombing their own citizens, they’ll figure it out on their own

          And don’t even get me started on intervening with a country commiting active genocide, that’s their business

            Fucking yes.

            Provide aid to those affected, open corridors so people can run away, but never start a full scale war.

            Fuck everyone who has ever done that, way more than anyone else.

          There was just cause. The Kiev regime has killed 13,000 civilians in the Donbass region, and had amassed huge amounts of troops to retake the seperatist regions shortly before Russian intervention stopped the invasion.

      If the US is running the show then yeah it’s definitely imperialism, we’ve very clearly succeeded in mongering up a war there, and I do recall some pretty unambiguous reports of the current regime in Ukraine directly suppressing opposition parties and suspending elections

      Ukraine isn’t imperialist; it’s a vassal of US empire.

          Its government came to power as a result of a US-backed coup, for starters.

          edit: For the record, I upvoted you because your question is fair and valid if you don’t know the history and context of the situation. And the western media where many people understandably (if sadly) get their information from will never provide that history and context. That is why we get these confidently ignorant people coming into threads like this gobsmacked that anyone can deny what they see as the obvious truth of Russia’s “unjustified invasion by a foreign aggressor.”

          The west treats Ukraine like they do Israel. After the western-supported Euromaidan coup in 2014, they’ve armed millitant Banderites to crack down on communists and geopolitical adversaries of the west.
