Also "Anti-War protesters are protesting war? Who could have seen this coming?"
that's the war they choose to protest
Since its founding in 2002, Medea Benjamin and CODEPINK has protested against US intervention in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Venezuela, Iran, Gaza, Columbia, and Honduras. Amongst anyone, she has the most receipts.
What's this great purge thing and why wasn't I invited
Hell i even seen the all favourite lemmy lib source getting called what it is:
Show
the amount of liberals who can't see how the US helped any of this happen is startling yet unsurprising. It really is blue MAGA. If Trump supported the Ukraine war like Biden, suddenly liberals would be anti war.
They are more mad that Trump didn't blow people up in Syria. Than they are with Biden doing nothing after SC ended roe v wade
it'll be real funny if Trump starts a war over Taiwan if he wins in 2024 and then the sides reverse and in the megathreads we start taking analysis from liberal-oriented sources who only really oppose the war because it's the Republicans doing it, versus the conservative sources we used to have to rely on (as there's been virtually nobody liberal/left-leaning doing regular coverage and analysis) who are now dipshits fully in support of beating China
having lived through Bush with Iraq and Afghanistan and Obama with Libya(mostly, cause of BENGOZZI. I was going to add Yemen, Syria and others but i don't think either side gave a fuck about those), and how Republicans and Democrats took turns there, that is definitely what would happen.
I guess the Nuland-Pyatt thing just kinda disappeared from lib brains
Helps that it's not really widely reported on.
Like they'll report stuff without context.
Like how they're reporting the stuff happening in Africa. They'll just say that fighting is happening and dumb racist westerners will just be like "The stupid brown people are blowing each other up again."
Of course it did
When your brain is fried by obsessively watching the 24 hour news networks, you don't remember five minutes ago, much less five years ago
liberals support american foreign interventions like charlie brown supports wanting to kick the football
"Okay it was bad and they lied to us the last 738 times, but THIS time though"
'actually it might be the only conflict in the entirety of the globe we had no hand in starting'
oh man talk about being close to the truth
Man who commits arson every day for the past 50 years claims he didn’t light this house on fire. Everyone believes him and is not interested in investigating.
They are only close to the truth in the sense in which a christian is almost atheist because he don't believe in every god except one.
I guess blowing up an oil pipeline and hosting a sanctioned hit list is not direct involvement
the USA is also heavily involved in Ukraine's ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) cycle, including supplying lots of satellite information
we didn't have a direct involvement in starting.
"It was a bloodless coup (all pillow smotherings)"
use your minimum wage checks to buy Ukrainian soldiers ammunition
One of the few large modern conflicts we didn't have direct involvement in starting.
You've gotta be kidding me
obviously what matters is who started it, grade school style. Why would anyone be concerned about the ongoing supply of the weapons doing half the killing? clearly what matters here is blame, not human lives. Fucking baby brains
