You claim to be a Marxist, yet you deepthroat the boots of NATO and the fascist Maidan regime. And people call us redfash.
Why do you libs always go with the homophobic insults?

I said ”homophobia is bad”, somehow you interpreted that as me being a Putin fan. OK.

Maybe you should stop using homophobic insults if you’re trying to present yourself as someone who cares about LGBT people.

I don’t know why you think opposing America’s forever wars equals claiming that their targets are perfect utopias. The US literally has over 20% of the world’s prison population working as slaves for private profit. Why do you libs always try to use the gays to push your far right agendas? A few comments ago you were calling people homophobic slurs. smh

This is about as believable as you being a Marxist. You were caught being a homophobe plain and simple. Please stop with the homophobia.
Show me anywhere I was a war crime apologist Karen. Maybe you should take a few deep breaths before replying. You’re losing it.
Same energy.
You were the one who used it as an insult here though :\

You’re repeating transparently false American propaganda. It’s America’s proxy war, they’ve openly admitted this on countless occasions. Do you honestly contend that the US is pouring billions into this because they’re humanitarians? Is it? Answer this.
Russia tried for almost a decade to pursue peace in the face of US/NATO aggression. We later learned from Hollande and Merkel that the US had no intention of allowing for peace. This is recorded historical fact.
This is such a brain dead take. The state of Russia did not launch a war of aggression at the behest of a dictator to maintain a tenuous grasp on power.
The US, the only country to ever use nuclear bombs against an opponent, who used them against civilians, decided to build a transnational nuclear military. They called it NATO. It is accountable to no citizens. It is accountable to no democratic body of any nation. It is accountable to the hegemonic power of the US. Instead of the US building an empire in Europe to project its force against Russia and China, it built this new thing, this never before seen thing. It is a military that supervenes national borders and national sovereignty. It occupies Europe without oppressing those that it occupies. And it has always been and forever will be directed at controlling Europe against all that threaten the interests of the US, including European nations. Specifically, it is directed at Russia, just as the Third Reich was, which is why NATO was built after the fall of the Third Reich and staffed with “former” Nazi officers at all levels of the organization.
This transnational nuclear force has been deploying nuclear capabilities in a never ending march to completely encircle Russia for the past several decades. Through the coup in Ukraine in 2014, the US finally had a right-wing government that would support the continued expansion of this transnational nuclear force aimed directly at Russia. Russia has been strategizing about this possibility since NATO was formed and we know this because A) Russia was invaded TWICE by Western countries through the Ukraine border, the most recent one being the Third Reich and B) as the USSR was being dismantled all leadership on both sides was very clear about how important it was that Ukraine not be militarized against Russia. We know that the US has been strategizing since the 1990s on how to militarize Ukraine against Russia.
So when the Russian state finally intervenes to stop the expansion of the transnational nuclear military that draws direct inheritance from the last fascist regime that invaded Russia through Ukraine, it is the height of clownishness to attribute the invasion to “Putin hates queer people and thinks he’s Adonis and also is a ruthless dictator that lives only to kill and be rich”. Your analysis doesn’t even reach the complexity of a 17 year old explaining the drama in the WWE.
Less of the homophobia dickhead.
This is America’s war.

Oh they know already. Those Nazis who support the USA and those who oppose it, both groups know full well.

Hold on. Wait a sec. What do you mean? Do you think Ukraine isn’t crawling with Nazis or what? You can’t possibly be still on last spring’s yank war propaganda?
Removed by mod
I don’t. Nobody does. That’s just more American propaganda.
Denazification was only one small point amongst many reasons given for the invasion, the principle one being NATO aggression and legitimate security concerns.
You failed to answer the question.
