      Ew those Ukraine and Taiwan flags. "Hmm, I support US imperialism so long as the proxy force can be construed as the 'underdogs' fighting the big bad." You do realize there's no such thing as "Taiwanese sovereignty," right (forgetting that the majority of inhabitants of Taiwan do not want separatism)? There is no "Taiwan and PRC," but Taiwan as a vestige of ROC claims, which include both all of mainland China as well as Outer Mongolia and parts of Russia (take for example the emblem of the Republic of China Marine Corps). You've fallen for nonsense claims pushed by the US to fight the PRC for influence.

      As for Ukraine, it's the same deal. Exploitation of "Ukrainian independence" and support for Neo-Nazis thereof goes back to the years of the USSR with the CIA's Operation Aerodynamic dishing support to the Nazi-collaborationist OUN. The whole reason for the recent conflict is the US-backed 2014 coup, of which the rise of Nazism was documented by the Western mainstream such as the BBC before the narrative shifted to prepare for proxy war. Ukraine is littered with Nazi monuments, its institutions and leaders paying homage to Nazi collaborators [1] [2] [3], and the government putting full support behind Nazi fighters [1] [2]. It's hard to paint Ukraine as the victim when Ukraine's previous president, Poroshenko, said this of his policy on Donbass: "We will have jobs—they [Russian-speakers] will not. We will have pensions—they will not… Our children will go to schools and kindergartens—theirs will hide in the brments (cellars)."

        An excellent response that will be downvoted and purposefully misunderstood by the cowards and running dogs of instances too afraid to federate with Hexbear.

          I always see great comments like this and wish we had some way to collectively catalog all of them by topic. There is a trove of posts and comments that could be stitched together into a cohesive repository of counter-chud documentation.
