No journalists on the ground found any indication of a mass casualty event on Tiananmen Square

ON Tiananmen Square. This is fascist-level wordplay. The same journalists found a massacre all around Tiananmen Square in the rest of Beijing.

no evidence that Chinese tanks actually killed anyone on 6/4

This is just a straight up lie. Lots of people were killed in Beijing. Just possibly not any within the tiny physical confines of Tiananmen Square itself.

supporters of Israel and the US are both “tankies.” Glad we agree, good talk!

Based af, the tankies who support Chinese and Russian imperialism are equivalent to the tankies who support US and Israeli imperialism.

Multiverse Thanos where he tries to wipe out the 50% most destructive, but snaps himself out of existence first because even by trying he made himself the most destructive person in the universe.

Good human

If what you said is true, why is Putin so intent on serving western interests? Is Putin a US puppet? What does that say about the Russian people that they just let themselves get drafted into a war and die by a US puppet leader all to benefit the West?

“Western propaganda” makes the West look incompetent, you make the West look all powerful and controlling.

I think it’s pretty reasonable to assume that any blackmail Epstein was holding against any and all of his clients is in the hands of the Kremlin.

Thank you for the update! I’ll switch over <3

Eh, at this point every election is deciding the fate of Democracy, the US is kinda hanging on by threads.

I dunno if you mean this seriously but yeah, we should be okay with communists.

Tremendous, very smart people are saying it’s the biggest change we’ve ever seen. Nobody has ever seen the numbers this high before. The best people are saying we have the highest numbers. Isn’t that something?

Obviously those are CIA agents dressed up as Afghans in Afghanistan.

If you’re rich enough you can just buy your way out of most consequences.

The protests in Iran over the Hijab got overwhelming support on Reddit last year.

Authoritarian Middle East is bad. Authoritarian China is bad.

It’s not, and I’ve explained to you in detail why as well as having provided you with numerous resources on the subject.

Resources that say nothing about the UK being a vassal state or the US being an empire. You make a huge logical leap to conclusions based on your inherent biases.

Russia certainly has plenty of issues, however in practice it’s not very different from many western countries.

Atrociously bad policy on LGBTQ rights, freedom of speech, but does better on homing the homeless and other human rights. Can’t get rid of its corrupt ruling despot; the US has many corrupt government officials that don’t see term limits.

I agree, Russia is overall no worse or better than the West.

The real life is that the war was a product of decades of NATO policy, and it’s not even hidden

Are you familiar with the narcissist’s prayer?

“I didn’t do it, and if I did, it’s your fault”

Defense of Russia I’ve noticed follows the narcissist’s prayer pattern. “Russia didn’t do it, and if it did, it’s the West’s fault”.

The whole pattern of this thread has been you making fantastical claims

“The UK is a vassal state to the US Empire” is a fantastical claim.

“Russia is a fascist xenophobic homophobic transphobic country ruled by a corrupt despot that made the sovereign decision to start an invasion” is real life.

me providing sources contradicting your nonsense

Oh really? Contradict that.

Not doing any such thing, nowhere did I talk about land at all. I love how all your arguments are just straw man.

Literally right in the pictures you posted but nice gaslighting.

The only one with a bleak world view here is the one who thinks it’s fine for western backed fascists to exterminate minorities.

It’s wrong for western backed fascists to exterminate minorities. It’s wrong for fascist Russia to exterminate majorities. It’s not hard for me to say, why is it hard for you to say?

You claim to condemn evil people while allying with literal fascists, and you expect people to take you seriously.

I’m not allying with anyone. You’re making the same L you accused me of earlier. Just because I condemn Russia doesn’t mean I support the other side. I condemn both sides, several times now. I haven’t seen you condemn fascist Russia even once.

Ukraine is clearly not some homogeneous blob, but a large country with complex cultural and ethnic situations.

Good job, you described every country that has ever existed.

You’re also making the common US right wing fascist L of conflating empty land mass with population. Yes, it’s a complex population, and a map of empty land looks 50/50, but there is a pretty overwhelming pro-West majority. The question that you still refuse to answer is why. Because it will break your worldview.

If you want to see what an actual fascist regime looks like then maybe you should look back home. US empire is responsible, or shares responsibility, for close to 300 million deaths https://nyupress.org/9781583679890/endless-holocausts/

Oh, I do not at all defend any of the violence, the bombings, or the genocides committed by the US. I condemn every imperialist invasion, and the evil people who lead them. I will happily take part in imprisoning any US president for life. Because I have actual values. You wouldn’t know what that’s like.

What is this then ignromaus? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_Security_Treaty_Organization

Exactly, now explain why NATO is overwhelmingly more successful in expanding its alliance. Why does 80% of Ukraine’s population support joining NATO instead of SCTO?

Weird way to say Russia will protect people in Donbas from the fascist regime your country is sponsoring.

Oh right, protection is when you genocide the majority to protect the minority.

You have a literal despot who has not relinquished power in over two decades leading an invasion, bombing cities, shooting civilians, and raping their wives and daughters. Tell me more about what you know of fascist regimes.

I don’t know what part of this you’re having trouble wrapping your head around. Ukraine was a neutral state that did trade with both Russia and the west and wasn’t joining any military alliances with either side. If you have some new information nobody knows about that contradicts this then feel free to share it.

It’s not about just Ukraine. You’re so narrow, it’s like you can’t engage with my points outside of a pre-programmed response. Russia could be forming treaties with ANY and ALL neighboring countries. There is (almost…) no reason not to. If NATO has the geopolitical savvy to expand with treaties, what is stopping Russia. That’s what you need to figure out.

You’ll have to forgive me, I keep forgetting I’m talking to a child.

Lol, do you deny the high rate of people falling out of windows in Russia?

How do you think this war is going to end exactly?

Likely not for years, and either Russia will back out, or they will successfully genocide the people of Ukraine and take the bombed-out land.

What extreme geopolitical incompetence are you talking about exactly? Last I checked, Soviets managed to fight against your despotic regime for over 70 years.

“Soviets managed to fight” you mean ex-Soviets, because the USSR is kaput. Plus all the NATO territory expansion, the US empire growing its collection of vassal states, extracting and growing its wealth. That is your story, not mine. What does Russia have to show since 1991?
