You know what's even more fucked up? Europe, Australia and even Ukraine sent troops also to murder Iraqis and Afghans then bragged how they did things for the US
I really do think that liberals should take a hard look at themselves. They don't flinch to call Russian soldiers orcs, and ascribe to their foreign policy a mindless bloodthirst. Do they think of US soldiers the same way? Or US foreign policy (even under someone like darling Obama)? Seriously: who is more "evil" Putin or Obama? By what measure?
Upper right is similar to lower left - inconsistent values and inconsistent ideology. Pure hypocrisy. Dogs of US vs Dogs of Russia.
Supporting the liberation of Donetsk and Luhansk from the Banderite government they have been trying to secede from for a decade is a good thing, and that's why the CPRF supports the Russian nationalists in the war. Had the west not supported a far-right coup back in 2014, it's likely the war never would have happened.
I would love to hear you try to explain how the Russian Federation somehow gained as many sympathizers virtually overnight as the US empire did through decades of world-spanning regime change, propaganda networks and bribery
Supporting Palestine makes you a dog of Russia? Sounds like you don't fully understand the core of international geopolitics
Nah-uh
Do you actually believe it's inconsistent? Because it's really quite straightforward: The US-centered capitalist empire must be stopped, and it's genocidal proxies need to be eliminated, for the survival of the human race.
Also works for them saying bomb them.
fuck those dirty Russians Ukraine should bomb all the cities
So you want them to hit civilians?
no I meant only places without people but still they need to retaliate
Then why say bomb the cities?
stop twisting my words when I want they're the evil bad ones
Usually they just say there are no civilians in Russia and Ukraine killing ANY Russian is completely justified. Not the other way around though.
Also parallels their thoughts on Israel vs Palestine. Israel can kill any Palestinian and be "self defense" but when it comes to Israelis suddenly they care about the civilian distinction.
It's incredibly interesting how, according to western media, all the ukrainian attacks on russian infrastructure never cause any deaths but russian attacks always cause deaths every time.
Who's out here saying Ukraine should bomb "all the cities"? Most people from the first frame of OP would also be saying stop the bombing, not bomb more. E.g. stop the bombing of Palestine etc.
here's one I ran into just last week, someone claiming to have been unfairly modded on .ml, when they had received a temp ban because they were actually advocating for collective punishment of russian civilians "because it's the only thing that Russia will understand":
what? no one reasonable is saying all russians are bad or all americans are bad. being born in a country does not automatically make you a fan of what their military does, that's just racist
I have seen like two dozen outspoken liberals on this very site refer to Russian people writ large as orcs, and the Russian language as orcish
"Racist" what the fuck man. World's smartest american just dropped.
Both, both is good
Calling for Russians to shoot Putin while condemining "political violins" when Trump got shot will never not be funny.
It isn’t “fuck the [imperialist/authoritarian nation] government and its enforcers” for most people?
Russia isn't imperialist. Imperialism isn't when invasion or when big country is bad
Authoritarian is a useless pejorative as every nation that has been or currently is is "authoritarian".
The double standard is real but also fuck both the US and Russia for invading.
