      Trump is funny. Obviously. Terrible but hilarious. We don’t back Russia we just understand NATO to generally be far more destructive and deadly. That’s just old Tom Bombadilaros thoughts.

        That’s so dumb… To consider a defensive alliance more destructive and deadly that a corrupt state waging a war of expansion

        Russia - starts wars and threatens nuclear holocaust - you sleep

        NATO - literally just exists - you wake

        Russia’s #1 export is troll farms and that’s why Russia is the most hated country in the world. Y’all just give people more reason to hate Russia.

          NATO - literally just exists - you wake

          How many millions of civilians were murdered/killed/starved/driven from their homes/displaced by American and NATO led imperialist wars such as the bombing of Yugoslavia, the invasion of Afghanistan, the bombing of Libya, or Isr*el’s genocidal occupation of Palestine, which is proudly supported by the US and NATO?

              You honestly think less civilians were killed in all those things COMBINED than by Russia? Really? That’s actually one of the most wild liberal claims I’ve ever seen, and thats saying something. You’ve lost attachment to reality.

                Prove me wrong. If you can’t, well of course you’re a troll farm and you’re part of the reason Russia has a reputation as the shitstain of the world.

                  You made the extraordinary claim. Your job to provide proof.

                  Also I’m an American communist from New England. One of the posts on my profile is about weird shit in the American Pie movies. Another recent one you can actually see is about Skyrim. Clearly troll farm shit. (I’d point out the idea that the Kremlin would bother to astroturf lemmy is INSANE, but that ones been falling on deaf ears because you all are so self important).

              You ignorant gnome. We hate Russsia more than you. Russia is the liberal democratic nation built by the US from the corpse of our comunist forebears. I’d ask if you ever read a history book but your Midwest tag proves the only ones you got were written by Haliburton so it isn’t your fault you are the way you are. If I wver visit your region I must try to trap you I in a circle of salt and force you to actually read some theory.

                Russia is not liberal or democratic. It is a corrupt capitalist oligarchy/dictatorship with limited human rights. It was built by the US from the corpse of the USSR.

                Y’all claim to hate Russia but also spend a suspicious amount of time defending it.

                    Absolutely not. America is more liberal and democratic, even if marginally. America has not had a single dictator in power for 2 decades and it’s actually fairly okay to be gay in America.

                    I would 1000% rather live in the US than live in Russia.

      Because Russia is the same as America in pretty much every way. So it is fascist infighting. Trump is also the same as pretty much the same as every other president. Liberals just hate him for idiosyncratic reasons. So it is funny

        Russia is America’s every bad quality dialed up to 12 on steroids. Russia actually manages to make America look good, that’s just what a steaming pile of garbage Russia is. The bar is so low even America can get over it.

            Russia starting a war with 350,000 casualties and threatening to nuke the West is not literally just existing. If Russia wanted to literally just exist, they never would have literally invaded another country while lying about “training exercises”.

            You’re pro-Russian terrorism, it’s not a good look.

              NATO encircled a world power and for the last couple decades have worked to instigate a war that has led to the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of people on the gamble that Russia would fall and allow the west to loot the country, exactly as they plan to loot a war torn Ukraine. For capitalism.

              You’re pro-NATO terrorism, it’s not a good look.

                That’s pure speculation.

                You literally have to create a fantasy about NATO doing something in the future to justify Russia actually doing evil things right now.

                Being pro imaginary terrorism is way better than being pro real terrorism.

                  NATO started this war by intentionally instigating Russia into conflict, using Ukraine as a proxy. Multiple times NATO have stood in the way of peace talks. That’s terrorism.

                  Russia, defending ethnically Russian peoples against a state government hostile to their continued existence, and guarding against being encircled by NATO is not terrorism it’s kindergarten level geopolitics

                    Calling Ukrainians “ethically Russian” is a real fascist type of perspective.

                    Murdering Ukrainians and caring it “defending them” is just plan psychopathic.

                  This is true. Maybe nato has a history of behavior we could investigate to see what their likely actions are going forward… Yeah, turns out it is a literal nazi army created to do war crimes to keep capitlaism strong.

                    Literally makes no sense because capitalism would still be just as strong without NATO.
