Reality is the Russians invaded. They rejected world order.

The world order where the US is allowed to invade Iraq and kill a million people on a lie? That world order?

World order is acknowledging sovereign countries exist and it's wrong to invade them

So you're saying Ukraine rejected world order when it breached Minsk II?

World order is acknowledging sovereign countries exist and it's wrong to invade them

The United States has invaded many more countries than Russia and China, and yet they are sanctioned for doing so/if America thinks they might do so, while not a single person in the American government is punished for the deaths of millions. They even get promoted and hired again on later governments! America created the world order! Rules for thee, not for me!

Russia was sanctioned by NATO countries.

Each country has one vote. The US is just one country of 31 member states

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

libs will say this and then turn around and say "BRICS is just an arm of China, it's dominated by them economically"

(not that that point is entirely false, BRICS is indeed economically dominated by China and I wonder if there would be half as much interest for countries to join if China wasn't in it, but India is a pretty big counterweight to China's power in BRICS in practice)

Sure, there's no power imbalance between the global hegemonic ruler and its "allies". The fact that on paper they each get a vote means its perfectly equal

Don't you remember when Europe voted to have their pipeline blown up last year?

Right right, which countries acknowledge that Palestine exists again?

You don’t care. You’ve never cared! Stop lying to our fucking faces you gremlin, you love this! You love this war because you’re a mindless western drone that loves cheering for imperialism and the deaths of the enemies of ‘the west’

You don’t give a single fuck about countries sovereignty, nor of human rights, nor of life and liberty

Fuck off

Look in a mirror my friend, you may see a hypocrite staring back.

Fantastic response, great way to engage with the other persons arguments and show you're not a total fucking dumbass

The Ukrainians could stop this war anytime they want

The Ukrainian government could, the same government that banned every political party that wasn't sufficiently anti-Russia. And the last time the people got to vote, they elected Zelensky who ran as a peace candidate. So no, the people of Ukraine, the ones being drafted and sent to the front lines, have very little say over whether Ukraine negotiates for peace.

Wait a minute...you expect a country to tolerate those sympathetic with a country.that they're at war with?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

"Wait a minute" None of this surprises you. Youre doing this for show. You want us to feel guilty about our beliefs, and your plan is to act shocked and bewildered by things you know. Begone debate-pervert

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I thought Ukraine were the Good Guys (tm)? Good Guys don't repress political groups because they disagree with them, they should debate them in the marketplace of ideas.

The US jailed every leader of the US Nazi Bund as dangerous aliens, and by the end of December 1941, the US Government outlawed the German-American Bund.

Don't say that he's hypocritical, Say rather that he's apolitical. "Once the rockets are up, Who cares where they come down? That's not my department," Says Wernher von Braun.

What does the US have to do with this? Ukraine is fighting this war.

The US jailed and outlawed a group sympathetic to their enemy during WWII. So, I'm not shocked that Ukraine did the same thing.

The Ukrainians could stop this war anytime they want, as could Putin.

The ukrainians are being forcibly conscripted and banned from leaving the country. They do not want to fight. The russians have sought peace negotiations several times, NATO-members like the United Kingdom, have come and stopped these negotiations.

Reality is the Russians invaded. They rejected world order.

Ah yes, one day evil putler woke up and decided to invade, that's what happened. He rejected our Good Guys Rules Based Order because he's just such an evil dude.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Geez...the Russians too are drafting folks. Conscription centers in Russia are firebombed. Your BS is kind of thick.

The Russians have not sought peace negotiations.

No, I think Putin is a murderer, comrade. I think he's a wanted for war crimes. I think he was so stupid that he thought this would take three days.

I never said they weren't? Nice whataboutsm. You're saying the ukrainians want to fight, I show you they don't, you imply I'm a bot, and you fail to engage with the argument.

The Russians have not sought peace negotiations.

So that was a fucking lie

Hey thanks for implying I'm a russian bot just because I disagree with you! Fuck you! Newsflash: People can disagree with you.
I've never said he wasn't a murderer or wanted for warcrimes (though if we're being fair, every US president is wanted for war crimes in several countries as well.) I think a guy who leads a country as big as Russia is many things, but imagining he could move state apparatus on his own to invade another country based on a whim of his, and when this whim fails he would still be in power, is incredibly stupid. Had this been the case, then Prigozhins coup would have had support. Russias reasons for invading are many, boiling it down to "Putler bad lmao" is as stupid as it is naive.

If you think he is specifically so evil, why aren't you volunteering in Ukraine against him?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

"I never said they weren't." You said that because Ukraine drafts fighters they don't want to fight. That's BS.

There has been no Russian yearning for peace talks. Even china's efforts could not move the needle.

Newsflash: calling someone comrade does not imply anything

Name a US president wanted by the International Criminal Court.

Putin is stupid. Prigozhin's coup did have support and now he's dead.
