I remember the Cold War. The USSR was bad because they were communists.
Then, after the fall of the Soviet Union, Western governments and corporations paid the corrupt, now former communists, who were in charge of industries, to hand over resources in ways that would not help Russia and turned Russia into an Oligarchy right away. At the same time, agreements were made about NATO (which should have been defunct the moment the USSR fell, given its mission) and about how close a NATO country would be to Russian borders.
Then, when Russian people were upset about the way the West was exploiting their resources and violating agreements, a strongman gained power by “standing up to the West,” and suddenly, Russia was bad again. Putin would not be in power if he did not have the West as a foil.
The West has certainly been Russophobic my entire life, and it’s crazy to see my fellow citizens in the US continue to fall for the same old tricks.
Oh, yep, ya crushed me - you made reality wrong, good job!
Not sure what makes a bot lable me a “lib”.
- tRump and his nazi goons would be doing wayy more to help Ukraine if they were fellow nazis.
- IF Ukraine had dropped the first bomb, maybe there would be more convincing evidence than a couple AI generated propoganda pieces 3 years into a losing war - as if pooteeny thought that negatively about the concept of supremacy that he’d dump half his countries people on it to snuff it out…
It’s a simple rich mans land/power grab - and the people of russia are being spent like rubles to pay for it.
My heart is for all the people not united against the powers that lie and abuse thier populus
Anyone killing anyone not in self defense is a thief, liar and has made themselves low and a hazard to the species

Because this is the first thing you do. It’s a common dehumanizing tactic that at this point feels like it’s instict to libs to act like this in face of any contradictions contesting your worldview. You are a shitlib.

I already responded to you earlier on this: https://lemmy.ml/post/52992883/27911569 . Are you going to respond to this or just conveniently ignore this??

Here is a quote from Lindsay on Ukraine. An avid supporter of Ukraine and when he died, Zelensky even went to his funeral along with Netanyahu.
“Four months into this thing, I like the structural path we’re on here. As long as we help Ukraine with the weapons they need and the economic support, they will fight to the last person,” said Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) early into the war, accidentally voicing what the war’s critics have often said about the war — that the U.S. will fight it “to the last Ukrainian.” Later, Graham called it the “best money we’ve ever spent.”
And how Lindsay says of the death of Ukrainians; “not a single US soldier lost” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGOVevGHNXY
Everyone who disagrees with you is a robot.
You are very smart.

My, you libs get really fucking nasty when it comes to Russians. It’s pretty gross!

AmeriKKKans really think it’s Trump that is the cause of all of this. Fact is, you only care about Trump because he is mean about it. You’re happy if Genocide Joe or KKKamalla HariSS were president so you can sleep soundly as they continue genociding Palestine and killing the people of the global south.
Okay who taught the libs Maoist Standard English?
They are not defending themselves, the Ukraine government is a nazi puppet installed by Amerikkka way back in 2014 during euromaiden to provoke a proxy war and push NAziTO expansionism. Russia is the one defending and trying to free suppressed peoples here LMBO
You are right that Ukraine is a puppet and its men are sacraficial lambs used to try and weaken Russa.
Russia is defending itself against NATO encroachment.
The idea that Russia is trying to liberate anyone is absurd and laughable.

Lemmy lib came so close, but still so far LMBO!

That is exactly what Putin would have people believe - but the burden of proof is conveniently ignored by the agressors.

Bloodthirsty libs frothing at their mouth at the thought of a dissenting opinion.
3000 nazi sempatizan in the Ukrainian army do not represent all Ukrainians.
AZOV is literally the branch of the government. AZOV is literally a nazi faction
RT - the puke bucket of journalism.
Right, how does journalism in the west handle Palestine and the genocide there conducted by “Israel” and the US/NATO?
Putin doesn’t care a hoot about Palestine.
That’s not what you were asked.
Hamas has a better relationship with Russia than anything from the genocidal west
Who would you suggest is a good alternative that also covers these things?
The Guardian, Spiegel, Le Monde, El Pais, die Zeit, NOS, ARD
The rags that all spent years saying there’s no genocide in Gaza? No thanks.
Oh yeah, the putrid puke ocean is far better
So only news from the EU is real?
No. There are many good news sources across the world. Also in Russia there are great newspapers, but your Putin is censoring them, and puts the journalists into gulags.
gulags
Liberals are incurious dopes who love to sling around >50 year old stereotypes about other societies, exhibit #8116332825
Tell us about how evil the KGB is next
I don’t have a putin
Our just prisons
Their brutal gulags
Don’t be naive. If you fart in Russia, you get thrown out of a window or poisoned with polonium. You don’t get a trustworthy lawyer or a possibility to defend yourself. Open your eyes.
Its so funny when you guys who get your ideas about the world from movies and reddit threads think that other countries are cartoon mordor hellecapes where the people are beaten down, submissive sheep and the primary industry is execution. Such an absurd, racist view of the world. It’s no wonder you freaks were calling Russian people orcs, you think you live in a movie. You think you live in Lord of the Rings.
What the fuck are you talking about
Yes, just regurgitate empire propaganda like a good lemmy lib. Oh, its a ShitJustFash user, carry on LMBO
