The West appears blind to its own hypocrisy and narrow interests in calling for a rules-based order.

Countless dead Vietnam, Iraq, Afganistan, Libya, Syria…

Many in Cuba impoverished by an unjust embargo…

Do we need more examples? The West is extremely hypocritical.

Doesn’t make the war with Ukraine any better.

It is not exactly a war though. You want to see a true invasion and war? Go look at Iraq or 2011 Libya or 2015 Syria.

“It’s just an exercise”

“It’s just a special military operation”

“Its a war bro, like Iraq”

“Its a genocide and massacre bro, look Bucha satellite photos, do not talk about how they got debunked”

“Bro Russia lowkey dropped nukes like Chernobyl”

- average C14, Right Sektor, Azov supporter liberal and knows only what Western MIC MSM tells

What random sentence generator did you use?

The one that you did not, a functional, critical brain. Liberals can only be revolutionaries in internet downvoting.

Good thing I’m not a liberal.

Certainly looks like it, no matter how hard you try. Downvoting is really getting to me, I am seething! Look!!

Soldiers of Russia enter Ukraine and kill Ukrainian soliders. How would you call it if not war?

Excuse them, we usually hear “war” when it should be called “piracy”, “massacre”, “imperialist conquest”, “genocide”… Either way, this conflict is showing me that I would rather be attacked by Russia instead of any Western country and even my own country (we had a Civil War already), frankly.

Because you are incapable of differentiating the civilian and infrastructure destruction between Russia’s op in Ukraine and USA’s op in Iraq, Libya, Syria and many other places.

I doubt you are incapable, so I will just call it intellectual dishonesty.

I think I simply don’t share your view that it takes violence/terror against civilians for a conflict to be labeled a war (at least that’s what your previous comment seems to imply, you may correct me at any time).

I doubt you are incapable, so I will just call it intellectual dishonesty.

Thanks, very nice from you, comrade :D

It is okay not to share views, but what is true shows in real time. And neither of us can do much about it apart from watching from the sidelines.

Also definitely you are not some comrade, so stick to your political lane.

Did he really unironically play the “special military operation” card. Wtf
