Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- Be civil and no bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion. For a more general community [email protected] is recommended.

The ones that are considered that way by the international community.
International law is designed in a way to prevent war and military/economic powers from exploiting others. So basically to uphold everyone's right to autonomy and independence.
In this case the invasion would be extra unlawful because of bilateral treaties.
I mean usually you do unless you are against others having their right to act independently and keeping their autonomy.
I think most would consider that to be positive.
Yeah, you would very clearly favor the countries that do not invade others in this case.
I could go on and on but the answer to all of these questions is very clear to the absolute majority of people imo.
You need to perform some real mental gymnastics to arrive at a conclusion favoring an invasion if you based your reasoning on these questions and the respective answers.
