We are not "Pro-Russia", this is a bad faith label that is used to smear us. We SUPPORT Russia in the current conflict against Nato and the west. Which is what any principled anti-imperialist would do.
So just to wrap my head around this, the anti-imperialists are the ones who have invaded a sovereign country twice in 8 years?
🗣️ IMPERIALISM DOESNT MEAN "ONE COUNTRY INVADES ANOTHER PLEASE GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD"
Aight I googled it because learning is fun
Sounds like it fits mate
Lmao, you probably think the soviets pushing into Nazi Germany on the eastern front is Russian "imperialism" too, since a military entered a foreign country. Read a book.
Not at all dude. Russia defended its land in an existential war against a fascism in way not dissimilar to what Ukraine is doing right now. I suppose the question is why does Russia 41-45 have the right to defend their sovereignty while Ukraine 2014-present does not? Don’t forget that the Soviets benefitted massively from US and British arms and equipment much like Ukraine today.
Do yourself a favor and see what happened in 2014.
I'll give you a hint. It was a coup.
Okay then can you tell me how Russia is extending it's power and influence when it isn't colonizing Ukraine?
Why didn't Russia invade it's other neighbors if it's sOoOoOo imperialist? There are easier targets than what was one of the larger armies in Europe?
Crimea ticks every box of being a colony lol
And errrrmmmmm RUSSIA DID INVADE ITS NEIGHBOURS! And regularly does!
You guys are fucking psychos haha
