    Russia is acting in an anti-imperialist and defensive capacity. Literally the polar opposite of US.

      Nah nah nah. Regardless of the reasoning behind it, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is inherently imperialist and fucked. Also fuck NATO.

        You have no idea what imperialism is. “Country a attacks country b” isn’t imperialism in and of itself, even if you grant the flawed notion that it was an unprovoked attack.

          yeah. I think calling it imperialist is wrong on my part. I do think invading another country is fucked though, regardless of the supposed justifications. reading more about this.

          appreciate you sharing this. I will definitely look through this. I think calling russia’s action “imperialist” was definitely a flawed analysis on my part.
