Liberals wholeheartedly believe that if Russia gains an inch of territory that their next move will be to overthrow the world. If you mention that this is unreasonable and illogical, they insinuate that you’re a Putin sympathizer and you want that to happen.

These are the people who claim to want peace.

Putin has been in power for ~25 years. In that time, Russia has fought wars in… I think Chechnya, Georgia, and Dagestan. Small territories that were formerly part of the USSR, and for all I know it’s possible the USSR was justified in intervening or at the very least Russia’s action could not be called “imperial”. I guess there’s Syria too but the US is there too so that’s a wash.

Ukraine is the first real, full scale war Putin has launched. Still within the former borders of the USSR. And that was a war Putin tried to avoid and could have been avoided had Ukraine gone along with Minsk II and stopped shelling the Donbas.

Should we discuss all the imperialist invasions and wars the US has been in in the last 25 years?

Putin has had 25+ years to show he is imperialist and hasn’t done it yet. But libs think he’s gonna lead the Russian army to Paris if NATO dares shows any weakness.

Ukraine is also a former USSR member and the last time they “invaded” it, they were actively collaborating with the Third Reich

The Soviets didn’t invade Ukraine. The Ukrainian SSR was fighting alongside the Soviets against the Nazis. As much as I hate the UPA and modern Ukraine, I’ll never undermine or discredit the sacrifice made by Ukrainians in saving the world from Fascism.

But have you considered that imperialism is when a country does anything in another country? Kinda like the imperialist CCP building infastructure in Africa to lead them away from FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY™. Bet you didn’t think about that. Chechmate tankie

it’s always important to remember where the imperial core is, and who is dividing the world into camps (NATO) and who is responding to that division (non-NATO countries).

The Russian war in Ukraine is ultimately a side effect of the civil war in Ukraine, which is a side effect of neoliberalization of Ukraine, which is a side effect of the end of the USSR. All problems in that region stem ultimately from that event, but libs are incapable of seeing the end of the USSR as a bad thing, so they have to invent a world where former soviet nations are guilty of imperialism against NATO proxies and postcolonial countries are anti-democratic dictatorships who have to be brought in line by the “rules-based world order” (NATO).

When I saw a similar call to action from QAnon, I actually laughed out loud lol. He had like a 5 paragraph screed about the deep state and pedophiles and the holy battle between good and evil

And the last paragraph tells patriots to vote

The implied part is that their neocon leaders know how to apply the necessary imperialist violence. They know the vote doesn’t fix it, they know what they want their leaders to do

North Korea is peacefully advancing their economy, technology, and living standards. Since they are Communists, this cannot stand. We must invade to destroy the country before they can do Communism.

The liberal image of North Korea is of like…Mordor or something. You ask them to picture North Korea and they imagine that scene from the lord of the rings where the orcs are making weapons preparing for war in a burnt out volcanic wasteland. That’s honestly what they think the country is like. The lies about the country are so extreme in the liberal press that their view of it is entirely 100% fictional. They don’t know a single thing about the country and are incredibly hostile to learning even the most basic facts about them.

Remember that scene in the new star wars where the guy says he sells weapons to both the empire and the rebels and then they never circle back to that plot point again? It just feels similar

irrelevant star wars

Rei and Kylo should have joined forces when he first offered and then become grey Jedi who tear down the Empire and the Jedi and then Darth Vader’s force ghost shrugs and applauds
