      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.

          Russia is acting in an anti-imperialist and defensive capacity. Literally the polar opposite of US.

          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.

      I think the US has been significantly worse than Russia over the last century if not more. They’ve been in various capacities in Vietnam, Korea, Phillipines, Panama, Cuba, and those are just the ones off the top of my head. Read about their colonial, commercial and other wars as well as their regime change ops that has brought countless right-wing dictators around the world, that have killed shit ton of people.

        The U.S. is the global hegemonic imperialist power, but that doesn’t mean that Russia can do no wrong.

          Yeah that’s what people are saying, they’re saying Russia can do not wrong. You guys always have to make these weird strawman because when you make an actual comparison of what each country has done and why, your “both sides” argument crumbles like a cheap cookie.
