tweet in which jon points out the obvious and libs get mad
excerpt from a Lib
:
Jon gives his best impression of a 14 year old tankie in this video.
The following is true simultaneously:
- It is appropriate to critique US foreign policy, it's actually necessary in a free society.
- Some bad actions are worse than others. Iraq wasn't annexed into the 51st state, as opposed to Crimea, Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia.
- Not all foreign policy decisions are zero sum, it's possible for both parties to derive a benefit from an agreement (US and Philippines for example).
what a great deal
i receive Military bases and access to your natural resources
you 
received: a US backed dictatorship
- The world does not revolve around the US, people in the Kremlin have agency.
- The Russian invasion of Ukraine and PRC threats of a Taiwan invasion are not about US foreign policy, they are a response to internal Russian and PRC pressures.
- Not every policy decision is based on trade and natural resources, those some of the variables in a long list of strategic considerations.
Nope. Both Russia and the US are fucking imperialistic states.
Thinking that Russia is somehow left inclined is insanity
That's not what anyone here is claiming. Our critical support is for the Russian Federation's opposition to US hegemony. No one thinks they are "left" in any way
They've literally written horseshoe theory sarcastically. If you are not aware, horseshoe theory is a claim that is far right and far left are quite similar.
Here we have completely different situation where we fucking have 2 nazi states opposing each other. Eventually, they'll compromise leaving the world in the middle of a catastrophe

Are they saying that that Russia and Ukraine are both nazi states and will compromise with each other? And that will be a catastrophe. Or that Russia and US are both nazi states and they are going to compromise for some reason?
Niether way makes any sense but i can't even get past that part lol
