I try to ask people how israel is different from Russia, taking lands from another country because they believe it belongs to them. I get told that it's completely different
It's a completely different situation. Ever since 2014, after the western-backed Euromaidan protests, Ukronazis (bunch of nazi battalions that have permission from the government to run wild) have been shelling Eastern Ukraine, killing MANY innocent civilians in the process. What Ukraine did (and is still doing to this day) can be considered genocide, since it systematically targets Eastern Ukrainians, who mostly speak Russian and tend to identify more with Russia.
Crimea held a referendum back in 2014 and most Crimean citizens voted to join Russia and the same also happened in the DPR and LPR in 2022. Guess what? The west's excuse is that both referendums were rigged (they weren't).
Oh, and remember how NATO broke their promise of not expanding eastward after the dissolution of the Socialist Bloc? Do you also remember how Ukraine constantly broke the Minsk agreements and how many times Russia tried to warn the west and Ukraine? By all means, this war is tragic and my heart goes to innocents who lost their lives, but it was predicted by many a long time ago.
Palestine was occupied by a settler-colonial state called Israel, the only democracy (aka US puppet regime) in the Middle East, that has slaughtered countless people and is now waging genocide against the Palestinians. It's an ethnostate with policies that make it possible to dub it the modern Nazi Germany.
The situations are completely different. You're looking at things from an idealistic point of view.
Sorry, I thought this was a pro communist place, not a pro Russian place. I'll let you be in peace.
Good, don't let the door hit you on the way out
Are you saying Russia isn't communist?
What makes you think they are still communist?
It was an absurd joke.
truly an amazing rebuttal
