Political Memes

I will just repeat what I wrote:

It has been the USA (& allies) invading, nobody denies that. For example the 2001 Afghanstan invasion was started by the USA, the UK, Australia and taleban, and most other countries got involved after the United Nations gave the permission to ISAF - other here including most other NATO countries, and at least 24 non-nato countries. At that point it was not an NATO invasion, it was UN trying to help clean up the mess that was Afghanstan civil war, which started in 1978 already. Did that succeed? No. Was it the entirety of NATO just randomly invading Afghanistan? Also no. In Iraq in 2003 USA plus the coalition of willing, was not the entitity of NATO either. The genocide of Palestine has been going on practically from the beginning of Israel, the latest whole huge mess has not been a NATO operation either.

The usual claims, that every time any NATO countries get involved with some unlawful USA invasions, is just part of Russian propaganda tactics, trying to pretend its bordering countries joining NATO, because of the risk of Russian invasion, is somehow NATO trying to attack Russia. Claiming all these wars are just "NATO invasions" is downplaying the complexity of these situations, in attempt of trying to justificate Russian invasions. The whole reason countries like the Baltics - and now Sweden and Finland - have joined NATO, is because Russia invades its neighbors the moment it wants, like it has done in Ukraine.

(I did not realize it while writing this comment, but the account I answered seems to be just an ordinary Russian propagandist. They are doing the classic tactics, so I will just block and move on, but for any real person reading this, how to easily recognize them is:

• Blaming "the West" for everything, and defending what Russia does
• Bringing up the history of colonization in discussions, and using it to justify what Russia does
• Claiming everything the USA does is NATO doing it
• Making simplified claims about complicated things, like anything considering the middle-East
• Using the genocide of palestinians to justify what Russia does
• Claiming Ukraine has nazis, is controlled by NATO etc.
• Using any claims to justify Russia invading its neighbors
• Claiming NATO or European countries want to invade Russia
• Defending the invasion of Ukraine
• Lack of knowledge, or pretended lack of knowledge, of the situation, history and relationship with Russia, of the Russia's border countries, like Ukraine, Baltics and Finland
• Writing longer and longer answers, trying to make you exhausted by misunderstanding arguments you make, and forcing you to individually correct their claims

Same logic applies to Chinese propagandists too, except they will also defend China genociding their minorities and use Chinese state sponsored sources. The best reaction is to point this behavior out, and move on. Taking part in further discussion just allows them to spout the propaganda more, and give visibility to it.)

(Oh, and ordinary russians are not the same, as Russia's leadership. The problem is russian imperialism - as in the belief in the great Russian empire, that has the right to invade its neighbours or do anything - that cannot be eradicated by any other means, than Russia collapsing from the inside, and russians giving up on it. Putin does not care about russians, to Kreml they are just resources to throw into the meat grinder.)
