OP is known tankie just fyi. Doesn't justify US or Ukrainian actions but make sure you understand that the reason for posting this isn't out of any actual concern for human beings. They're also peddling covid conspiracies

Yeah that's a silly article. Strange that a supposed "tankie" would post something that pushes the Chinese lab leak conspiracy though, especially from an outlet run by an NYT liberal like Bari Weiss.

tankies don't have coherent ideologies, or they wouldn't be tankies

Define tankie, or do you just go off of vibes and guesses without any coherent thoughts about your opponents yourself?

Info is reuters. Are you on a crusade against tankie? Because it looks like you are.

That's a pretty bad faith take, they're just pointing out that op has an agenda as to why they are linking this specific article.

everyone has a fucking perspective, that's a normal human behavior. do you expect people to just randomly select articles to post?

"normal human behavior" Great rationale, normal human behavior excuses everything

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

excuses what, going on a link aggregation site and posting an article that you find relevant to your perspective on the world?
