      I’m sure you were saying the same thing during the Syrian Civil War and calling Assad a fascist and Russia an imperialist

      If there’s one thing you can count on Russia for its military destruction of its enemies in wartime

        Mostly missed this one due to not being politically involved or educated at the time, so, no

        If there’s one thing you can count on Russia for its military destruction of its enemies in wartime

        Well it's a good thing their enemies are and always will only be the enemies of the proletariat, and not of their imperial government, right?

        Right?

          Let me spoil the ending for you because the tankies were right about Syria and have always been right: This both sides nonsense is childish. The anti-NATO, anti-terrorist side is correct and needs critical support and victory.

          Making up future hypotheticals to get mad about instead of looking at the actual situation happening right now in the real world

            I don't even necessarily think you're wrong about Russia, but you're the one making up and arguing about future hypotheticals so that's a weird thing to accuse someone else of doing. It's also ridiculous to demand or even expect that others give their full support of a capitalist power. Being suspicious of Russia's future plans (while also recognizing they are not the aggressors but are doing the truly good deed of killing nazis here and now) is absolutely a valid position for leftists.

        Assad is a fascist.

        He literally invited David fucking Duke former Grand Wizard of the KKK for a state visit and put him on national TV to do a fascist rally saying Syria's fight against Israel and the US rights fight against (((zionists))) are one struggle.

        The printing house personally owned by his former minister of defense (a marriage of state and corporate power, I wonder where I've heard that one before :thonk: ) has published 2 new editions of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion in the last 2 decades along with some several blood libel books he personally wrote and the Syrian Ministry of Information in 2005 decided that was what they wanted to show at the Syrian stall of the Cairo International Book Fair.

        None of this justifies the carpet bombing of Syrian cities, but Bashar, Hafez, and the Syrian Ba'athist party are violently antisemitic nazi sympathiser, anticommunist ethnonationalists and have been since before they first took power.
