    Destroying a forward operating base and fascist coup of the world empire is anti-imperialist. I support invading and liberating Taiwan, Israel, South Korea, Northern Ireland, Kosovo and others too.

                    Wrong. A pre-imperialist capitalist nation is not worse than a more developed imperialist capitalist nation.

                    So you think that capitalist Libya under Gaddafi was even worse than the neoliberal US empire?

                      TIL Britain during the times of the East India Trading Company was less imperialist than any neoliberal nation now.

                        The British empire was an advanced imperialist power relative to the rest of the world at the time. Hence why it was bad.

                        Russia is not an advanced imperialist power relative to the unipolar hegemony of anglo-American dominance. They are a colonized anti-imperialist regional power, backed into being anti-imperialist by necessity.

            I mean, having one empire hasn't worked out too well for us the last 30 years. But Russia isn't exactly trying to make an empire either, they're protecting their border by using Donetsk and Lugansk as a buffer zone. In doing so, they're directly fucking with the US and NATO.

                In the south, to secure a warm water port and restore crimea's fresh water supply. Elsewhere, because they're trying to force Ukraine to come to the bargaining table (or surrender, but that still seems unlikely). They could withdraw all their troops from the rest of the country once the war is over in return for Ukraine signing a neutrality agreement.

                Edit: I should add that this is a guess, but I think these are Putins main goals.

                    How do you think war works? You just shoot a couple of them and the call it a day? Did Stalin stop at the borders of the USSR or did the Red Army march to Berlin to topple the government of the enemy?
