Yes, very Russian. It's America's own "special military operation".

It is 100% an act of war, it's even a very obvious indisputable act of war. Yet we see European leaders refusing to call it so. 😡

This made me laugh. This is the same shit we've been doing for 100 years. "Illegal orders" aren't a thing when you use your imperial military to do imperialism. The last time we had a President that wasn't a war criminal was never.

FYI US soldiers involved in illegal orders in the USA are almost never court-martialed or even put on trial. The only one I can think of actually being convicted is the Mai Lai massacre way back in 1968. The US has become consistently more brazen in its flaunting of international law regarding war crimes and any policing of its armed forces through subsequent administrations since.

In fact its very rare for US troops or even military contractors brazenly ignoring orders and committing war crimes to even be put on trial, let alone be convicted. The most recent incident I can think of is the four Blackwater contractors during 'Operation Iraqi Freedom' that massacred 17 unarmed Iraqi civilians and injured 20 in Baghdad city. There was such overwhelming evidence in the case that they were convicted by a US court of murder (one member) and manslaughter (the other three) in 2014.

Even that was an unacceptable level of accountability for the Republicans, so Trump gave them all presidential pardons in his first term in 2020.

The USA has done this many times (captured or even murdered heads of state, and anyone else they wish to), there has never been a court martial and nobody has ever been punished.

If you know of any exceptions, please share.

Trump is everything bad about a psychopath, sociopath and narcissist.
Rolled up in what we call malignant narcissist. He has complete disregard for other people, and he has absolutely no conscience, and he expects to be worshiped.

Fuck Americans for making him president twice.

As a Dane whose brother works in Nuuk 2-4 months a year, I'm not a fan of those plans, actually. I'd rather he not, tbh.

FIFA peace price in shambles

The amount of people who voted republican completely obliterates the tiny fraction of people who abstained from voting democrat. How about directing focus where it's relevant?

AmeriKKKa is uniparty on foreign policy. This exact outcome would have happened under a Harris administration, except they would have kept up the kayfabe, so I would have had to spend hours debating with shitlibs like you that this war is in fact just about oil.

If you wanna play "shame Olympics", liberals should be fucking ashamed for losing to the fucking fascists twice, giving the keys of the kingdom to the fascist twice, doing fucking nothing with their political power every time they had it, and barely even pretending to offer a political program worth fighting for.

Wasn't it RIP with Iraq? Or Afghanistan? Or Vietnam?

The AfD is on the way to run the show, like many far right factions in many nation states of Europe.

The only way to stop tyranny is to stand up to it, and angry lemmy posts won’t do that. The danger is always much closer than the “foreigners” so many xenophobes like to point out.

Once tyranny is in power the resistance needs support, not condemnation. I thought this was known 80 years ago, apparently not so much today.

How morally curropt a society have to be to be ruled by literal pedophiles waging wars for oil.

Fuck this shit

Same reason Russia invading Ukraine was.

"Stop me."
