Biden is a lame duck president with NO PUBLIC MANDATE and subterranean approval rating, he got ousted by his own party before the election for being mentally incapacitated, his defense against a Justice Department inquiry is he’s too old and senile, his party just got BTFO in a national election. No NATO or NATO proxies have ever launched long range missiles into Russia in living memory. How is this guy fit for office

STOP EATING CRAYONS AND DO YOUR FUCKING JERB. “Senile old man sends young people to WW3 out of spite”

I find that doubtful. They went for Kyiv during the first month of war. If you go for the largest city and the capital, that typically is a conquest.

Yes they went for Kiev to topple the government of Ukraine and force a quick surrender, as has been their stated aim. It does not mean there would be any possibility of conquering Ukraine and holding it by the Russians.

The prevailing opinion seems to be that Ukraine was attacked by Russia in 2022 and before that, parts of Ukraine were seized by Russia in 2014.

You appear to be forgetting about the maidan coup, the shelling of donbass and the arming of Ukraine by nato, all of which the Russians have said threaten their national security since Ukraine is literally at their border.

imaginary bunch of “western fascists”.

Y’all are commiting a livestreamed genocide in gaza and have slaughtered tens of millions of people at the altars of capitalism since the end of ww2. No need to imagine western fascism.

hard boiled imperialist

When will liberals learn what imperialism is? When we say “we oppose imperialism” we mean that we want to destroy the transnational system of capitalist superexploitation of the world’s natural resources and labour by a handful of “first world” nations. Not “we want to reify nations and nation states”.

He decided that Ukraine must be under Russia’s control.

As opposed to the Americans, who don’t want Ukraine under American control, who haven’t been buying up Ukrainian capital assets for dirt cheap for 30 years now.

The revolution which Yanukovich accidentally provoked was inconvenient to him, so he decided to start military action. Seeing that the West was using toothless sanctions and harsh words, he decided to go all in - but miscalculated. His yes-men said they could do it, but they couldn’t.

I bet my left testicle on you not having read even a single word that came out of the mouth of any member of the Russian leadership and instead just making up all of this headcannon and fan fiction based on nothing.

Maidan revolution

A revolution from capitalist neocolony to capitalist neocolony?

Imperialism… is conquering and dominating foreign lands and assembling empires.

Assembling empires is the only correct part of your definition, because it happens to be a tautological statement. How can you be an anarchist and use this definition of imperialism, since all states by definition dominate territory? “Foreign” and “domestic” are purely artificial categories and using them only legitimates statist ideology.

The president of Ukraine fled to Russia but the parliament remained in place, and provided a way of triggering new presidential elections. By that time, Russian troops had taken control of Crimea

The Russian annexation of crimea happened after the president fled, as a response to the coup.

Putin declared Crimea to be part of Russia and stated that he’d never give it back

This was done via referendum. As for the rest of your comment, it is mostly just a run down of the specific events leading up to the war, ignoring the geopolitical reasons for why the different actors took the actions they did, instead looking at the events in a vacuum.

If you really want to know - when Hamas attacked Israel, I said that Israel has the right to defend itself.

Am I right to assume that the previous 70 years of Israeli settler colonialism had no impact on your opinion of how much Israel has a “right to defend itself”?

they have a right to repel the invaders, and this incldues the right to strike across borders at the invader’s command, logistics, storage and production.

Which they were already doing with their own weapons and soldiers. The escalation in question is about the use of American weapons, which will likely trigger some kind of (probably not nuclear) response from the Russians, who have the possibility of sending weapons to anti-western militant groups, or to take other actions.

Thanks for just admitting you are a stupid as shit liberal with terrible intuition and analysis. Ever considered listening to us as we were correct the entire time and never got duped into supporting imperialist genocide?

I’m an anarchist.

So you have no clue.

If you really want to know - when Hamas attacked Israel, I said that Israel has the right to defend itself. When Israel started bombing civilians, created a famine in Gaza and destroyed their infrastructure, I said: that’s no longer self defense.

See, you have absolutely no clue about anything. Just going with the recent thing, no attempt of learning history. This did not start last year. it started over 70 years ago, by what would become the zionist entity. But that seems too long for you to look into, so you rather tell the ones affected by ethnic cleansing and genocide how they should resist. Can’t have the brown people make you feel bad, after all!

Just vibes based politics.

There is no “right to defend itself” for occupation forces. There is however the right to resist occupation. Your vibes based analysis lead you to the literal opposite of reality.
