    Yeah but I’ve been seeing some leftists (mainly patsocs) saying that Russia is in the right

      War is bad, sure, but when a foreign military alliance specifically created to obliterate your country keeps rolling up closer and closer to your borders... eventually something is going to happen.

          HAHA...

          Okay, so, if you want. There is a book that the hexbear book club read not too long ago called "Russia Without Putin". You might want to find a copy (there are several places where you can find an online one free) that might help you out some.

          Basically, what you've said, is that if a person is punching you constantly and talking about coming to your home and killing your dog, if you finally get fed up and do something about it then you are worse than the person who was threatening things you care about and attacking you.

            lol I read that book. It’s from a Social Democrat publishing house. No mention of the existence of the KPRF In the entire thing. Navalny gets a lot of discussion though. It’s still worth a read, but understand that it is an anticommunist publication. This is the anarchism community though so maybe y’all don’t care.

          "some" lol.

          Russia has responsibility as far as the actual action goes but this is a war Nato created. This is the world and conflcit Nato and the US chose to have and this is what they did with their complete unipolarity in the 90s and 00s
