maybe for the audience hes targetting this is a real :pog-fish: 🤯 statement, but how many times have we invaded a country thousands of miles away and used this exact same pretext? how can any leftist (even zizek) see this as "new" phenomena? even felix joked that putins remarks about de-nazifying ukraine were funny, because it showed that even they have the liberal equivalent of "we're invading Afghanistan for womens rights"
