You can repeat "US imperialism bad" as much as you want but learning the play by play is just absolutely mind blowing. Its always so much worse than you could initially imagine.

    One of the most effective American propaganda campaigns have been to convince Americans and Europeans that "war" is very specifically when you drive tanks across lines on a map.

    Things that are definitely not war include:

    • Economic blockades
    • Airstrikes against life sustaining infrastructure
    • Airstrikes against civillians
    • Actual boots on the ground in the form of special forces
    • Actual full scale invasions of countries, as long as you sign the form that says "this is not a war"

      "Police action" is the 20th century's "Lethal aid"

      You know it's funny that libs want to sue gun companies for firearms murders, but don't seem to have the same energy for acknowledging that we're responsible for arming and training the Ukrainian armed forces.
