Brasilia, Feb 25 (Prensa Latina) Former Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff (2011-2016) on Friday said that the war in Ukraine paves the way for the assertion of the multipolar world.
A multipolar world has always existed: civilized and non-civilized. Russia was in the middle for a while (which seemed to have been some sort of a ruse) and now went full-on to the other side. Perhaps west did something to prevent them from coming to the civilized side, if so, that’s absolutely deplorable.
Even so, nobody forced Putin to keep clinging to power, to keep imprisoning and poisoning his political opponents. That’s 100% on him.
If Russia wants to get on the “civilized” side they have centuries of colonialism, slavery, genocide and imperialism that they will have to catch up on. Don’t think they have it in them to accomplish this in the near future right now.
Yes please tell me about how the Russian empire has committed atrocities as bad as the genocide of American natives and the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
The point isn’t whether whatever threshold of depravity is acceptable. You described the opposition to Russia as “civilized” which is a western chauvinistic and white supremacist point of view. Only wanted to point that out.
Your point was exactly that, don’t try to backtrack on that. You literally compared Russian empire’s atrocities to US atrocities, suggesting that the former doesn’t matter because the latter is somehow larger, which is actually a controversial opinion.
Lenin and Trotsky weren’t far behind! Just ask the Cronstadt citizens or the Ukranian farmers… woops can’t they’ve all been massacred by the red army because they wanted actual communism (anarchy) and not a dictatorship of the proletariat.

You need to perhaps read a history book if you think Russia hasn’t caused their share of all of those.

Oh, you actually mean this is a measurement contest in which only the winner matters?
