Yeah I’m not reading anything from a website that thinks NATO is at fault for what’s happening in Ukraine
Ya, in all seriousness, it is amazing to me how hard some people are pushing the idea that the US helping stop an far right dictator at the head of an imperial empire from annexing it’s neighbor and systematically destroying its culture is just like the US helping support a far right almost dictator amex its neighbor and systematically destroy its culture.
I get why it happens and why milk toast neoliberals want to equate Israel’s occupation of Gaza with Ukraine’s defense of its own long established borders, but as far as I can tell the ones pushing the idea that both interventions are bad tend to be either isolationists how forgot how that ended last time, or are just starting from everything the US does it bad and working backwards from there.
I think it’s the former. Whatever the US does is bad and whatever its geopolitical adversaries does is good because the U.S. says it’s bad, which means it’s good. The truth is, almost every global power does shady shit that’s objectively bad and instead of picking sides, we should use our voices and votes to influence a more positive, globally-minded government that ends military campaigns abroad unless the UN unequivocally supports intervention.
Seattleite here - the interstate wasnt “shut down” and rallying cries on a small section of I-5 arent really even that audible a few blocks away. they’re lucky no one got run over like a few years ago when other idiots thought that protesting on the Interstate was a good idea.
