That's not fucking true they fucking killed people just like israel killed Palestinians just because a eastern country attacked a western company that doesn't equal a good cause

Soz, but you're just continuing to parrot empire propa, Russia had a very good cause to put an end to relentless US imperialism through NATO. Of course all the western media is going to exaggerate on everything to make them seem horrible to those who believe the propaganda

I'm sorry, but what's the track record for 'foreign intervention to fight imperialism' after WWII?

I'll tell you: disaster. Every, single, one, western or not.

I find this:

Russia invades the nazi puppet government of the US empire to prevent further empire NATO imperialism and reestablish the Ukrainian peoples proper government

So ironic it goes from being painful to hilarious to painful again. Somehow, this one liberation war, among all in the last 100 years, will be the justified and successful one. Like how Americans were so happy being stuck in what was supposed to be a quick 'liberation war' in Vietnam. To quote Johnson:

Why are these realities our concern? Why are we in South Vietnam? We are there because we have a promise to keep. Since 1954 every American president has offered support to the people of South Vietnam. We have helped to build, and we have helped to defend. Thus, over many years, we have made a national pledge to help South Vietnam defend its independence. And I intend to keep that promise…

...But yeah. Oh, this one is the exception if we keep going, sure. Nods head and pats back. We'll talk again in a few years...

Everyone arguing in this thread for two imperial powers lol the only people who make sense today are the anarchists.

Dont get fooled by the .ml brigade. The large majority of communists are not tankies simping for imperialist Russia but very aware that those imperialist powers need to be fought to establish a just society. We mostly just focus on the imperialist country we are living in
