Projection, alrighty then. Interesting then, how you thought it was important to enter this thread to point out something I did not do for a country I’m not even living in, nor am ideologically aligned with.
I’m not fine with people saying anything critical of Russia is only critical of Russia because it’s western propaganda.
Dunno, doesn’t sound like anything I’ve said or done. So why are you “not fine” with me?
If you can defend these groups, but you don’t see how Ukraine defending itself is right, then you’ve got something fucked up going on with you.
I’m sure we have different understandings of what imperialism actually is. You think Ukraine is defending itself against the imperialist Russia, governed by “a modern emperor fighting an endless war because admitting defeat would look bad”, alright. End of story, end of discussion, nothing more to it? World politics explained? Because, I don’t understand, how you’re trying to make this point, since I’ve certainly never said, that the Ukrainian state is not defending itself. You’re moralizing against a strawman. However, which role, if any, does US and EU imperialism play in Ukraine? Do you support it?
and not with Iran, but against what is being done to them.
Why tho? Why no critical support for Iran? After all, the country’s being attacked by an imperial superpower. Why do you differentiate here? Maybe we should send them Billions and all the weapons they need, what do you think? Maybe we should send all the other countries Billions and all the weapons they need, what do you think? Why do it for Ukraine but none of the others?
I’m tired of this, so I’m not engaging in most of it. I do want to clarify my position on one thing:

Because they are an oppressive regime that violates rights, that I believe people should have, constantly. I do believe they should decide how to handle this for themselves though. I don’t know about sending them billions in weapons, but maybe. However, the nations that would do this are doing the opposite, so that doesn’t really make sense. It’d be better to just stop attacking them instead of sending them weapons. I believe, just like in Russia (and many other places) that the best solution is the people rising up and deciding their fate for themselves over the elites deciding for them.
