        Yeah, invasions are out of fashion. All the West does is make a country's development contingent on their willingness to let the West exploit their natural resources and labor and then cut said development if they fund a social program or coup them if the "locals" are uncooperative. All after gutting these countries for hundreds of years via colonialism. You don't need to do an invasion when you can just put a noose around the neck of a country.

        Oh and the West still does invasions look at Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria. And UK special forces have been in Syria, the Sudan, Nigeria, and others as recently as last year.

          Yeah neocolonialism the thing Russia is attempting right now. If you oppose neocolonialism you should oppose Russia.

            Hey, Space Neoliberalist. If you ever touch some real theory (instead of reading Harry Potter and The Washington Post), like Lenin. You would know that this is an inter-capitalist conflict (you know what that means?). If you think that USA is helping in good faith (and not in the interest of colonialism exploitation in the long run), you are an idiot.

            “fashy past grievances reasons”

            So denouncing the crimes of the west is fascist now?

            -“Hey USA shouldn't have supported dictatorships in Latin America with their Plan Cóndor, or helped in the coup against the democratic elected Salvador Allende. Or dropped two atomic bombs in two civilian cities, or having the highest incarcerated population doing slave labor, or burn with napalm villages, or puting children in cages in the border, or….”. I could be all night talking about USA crimes. A whole month with the Nato members crimes.

            -”Shut up fascist.”

            Is always projetion with you liberals. Scrath a liberal, and a bloodthirsty nafo fascist bleeds.

              The problem with "both sides" arguments is you tacitly admitting your side is wrong when you do that.

              Yeah sure the US shouldn't have done those things in the past. But these are past grievances, which is the cornerstone of fascist thinking. "Our present day horrible actions are justified because of the horrible things others have done in the past!"

              Whatever US and any other NATO members did wrong in the past doesn't make what Russia is doing today right.

              Also, why should Ukrainians suffer so that Russia can expand their empire?

              I have no doubt about the ability of fascists to go on and on about past grievances. But what grievance do you have with Ukraine specifically?

                The brainworms are strong in this one.

                You clearly didn't read the Lenin book I linked and, by seeing your activity in here, you are close to the ban.

                So I just want to say that is so fucking funny that you think that the passing of time exonerates USA from their crimes. I mean, how much time has to pass? They are still putting children in cages, invading countries, having the highest incarcerated population, making coups in foreign countries, etc.

                But let's follow your logic, and let's wait a few years. That way all the Russian crimes will be just past grievances.

                Let's just do that.

                It was wrong for the US to coup Ukraine's government, but also wrong for Russia to intervene to stop the coup government from killing civilians after like 8 years, got it.

                  The people of Ukraine got tired of being a Russian puppet state and removed Putin's crony. The instant they did that Russia started taking territory from Ukraine.

                  You're weird little narrative only works if you believe that Ukrainians don't have a right to self determination and believe they shouldn't have sovereignty over their land. This is simply Russian neocolonialism, Russian imperialism, and Russian Fascism.

                    the pre-maidan government was not a puppet. europe and russia were both courting ukraine for her resources and president what's his ass took the better deal that putin offered. if that makes it a puppet government, what does that make the coup government where the US picked high ranking officials?

                    Your weird little narrative only works if you believe the denizens of Crimea and Donbas don't have a right to self determination and sovereignty over their own land.

                    This is simply Russian neocolonialism,

                    Neocolonialism isn't just "colonialism happening today". Neocolonialism is what the west is doing having Ukraine sell off its land and industries in bulk to foreign capitalists via privatization.

              One that they were happily part of for several hundred years don't forgot. They had a referendum and decided to stay, you can't keep running them every few years until you get the result you like. Besides Scotland leaving the UK and the resulting chaos of negotiations will make Brexit look like a walk in the park, the SNP aren't honest with their voters about that.
