Now Russian imperialism doesn’t count as imperialism because most of Russia’s hostility and imperialism is happening too close to their borders. Amazing.

Russia of course does what people complain about imperialist countries do, but you see, Russia is too poor to count. It’s just sparkling hostility.

Invading, annexing, creating buffer states, that’s pretty much the typical shit imperilaist countries do

Do people get upset about that

Invading other countries, conquering parts of them and adding them to your country and creating butter states isn’t imperilaism

Hah yeah right

It’s a generous deal, surrender and become a subjugated buffer state. Gotta love imperialism

There’s a lot of Russians who live(d) in Ukraine. Those of course are going to be welcomed in Russia. And there’s Ukrainians who support Russia over their own country, those are going to officially be well received too. So there’s really not big disconnect between the hateful attitudes and official proparanda.

And sometimes they treat Ukrainians as “brothers” in the sense that they’re denying their whole identity as Ukrainians.

There’s a shitload of hatred towards Ukrainians by Russians online. Saying they just consider them their brothers is laughable, some absolutely hate Ukrainians and want to eradicate them and erase their identity (and saying how they’re just Russians while also saying they’re pigs or something(?))

That sounds like some fantast movie place

I can’t say I agree about the factuality of your statements tbh.

It’s not exactly a rare sentiment from pro-Israel side. And it’s easy to recognize how bullshit it is. Which is why it’s such a good comparison.

I mean at some point it makes sense to recognize that the conversation isn’t going anywhere

If the war keeps going there will be no more Palestine. Peace now on Israel’s terms is the only way to preserve it.

I’ve definitely heard people say that

Don’t be upset, it was just a joke

Tsundere Russia, it’s not like it even wants to control Ukraine, baka.

I’m not sure you got the comparison…

If the war keeps going there will be no more Ukraine

Fucking grim what Russia is doing. It’s like Israel to Palestine.

“Nah they don’t want to take over, they just want to make it into a weak country they totally control”

Lmao that’s great I wonder why Ukraine doesn’t go for that

But it’s rear-ending either way though, when you think about it lok

Russia stops the invasion, nothing changes for Russia. Ukraine surrenders, no more Ukraine.
