      I learned today that in 2002 the US passed The Hague Invasion Act which say the US can invade the Netherlands if any American is tried for war crimes (it still stands today obviously)

        Wtf I also didn't know that. It shouldn't surprise me though

        It did remind me of when the ICC brought up investigating US war crimes in Afghanistan and the US reacted by sanctioning the prosecutors

      "Everything is a war crime, including war itself!

      Way to minimize actual war crimes and dilute the term

          Defending yourself against real NATO aggression, protecting your own citizens from neo-nazi thugs, constant shelling of the donbass region, definitely constitutes a fucking "war of aggression" right?

          "I am going to let NATO strangle my country to death. That way I can win the approval of westoids."

          """ completely unprovoked, except everything we did to provoke Russia """

          "I am going to let America place nuclear missiles 5 minutes from my capital city and do nothing about it"

          "I am going to let my country get dismantled and pillaged like its the Yeltsin era again, otherwise westerners will be very angry at me"

          I am under no delusion that Russia is bringing socialism to the Ukraine. However, I am also under no delusion that socialism can happen under global American/NATO hegemony. A multipolar world is being created right now, and we must support the creation of it. Not because we support Russia, but because we support the severe weakening of the American empire. Make the bourgeoisie fight amongst themselves! Good for us! Weaker bourgeois states are good for socialist revolution.

            A multipolar world is being created right now, and we must support the creation of it.

            THIS WAR IS IMPEDING THE MUILTPOLAR WORLD BY EMPOWERING NATO AND WEAKENING RUSSIA

            CHINA RECOGNIZES THIS AND OPPOSES THE WAR

            I have been saying this over and over and over again. How the fuck is this building a multipolar world when it has isolated Russia from a Europe that was building stronger ties with it? Or when it massively shores up NATO support in member nations and nearby countries? Or when it wrecks the Russian economy? Or when it drives Kosovo and Finland to NATO? The multipolar world was and is being built through economic means and it was working. This is an enormous setback. It's exactly why we all thought Russia would never actually do this invasion - because it would extremely obviously backfire and run counter to their interests, and here we are, that's exactly what's happening.
