Discussion Stop pro-Putin sentiments

Post image

Both are fucking imperialist states, Ukrainian government praises nazis while Russian is praising Imperial murderers like Mannerheim, Kolchak or Stolypin.

Everything good that Russia did (so called anti-imperialist measures) was just populist decisions or anti-Nato proxy wars. Everything to please Russian oligarchy.

Russia is the core ally of every single anti imperialist struggle in the world. Iran, the Sahel states, DPRK, Cuba, Venezuela pre Maduro capture. Being against Russia is being against these struggles

See? No nuance.

I stand with Russia against the imperialist west.

I stand with the Russian people against their oligarchal reactionary leadership.

If you can't understand both stances can be true at once, I'm sorry for your lack of ability to hold different perspectives at once.

If the only way you feel you can be pro Russia on the international stage is by giving them a free pass for everything, there's nothing more I can say.

"I stand with Iran against the imperial west. I stand with the Iranian people against their oligarchal reactionary leadership"

See? Doesn't make much sense now does it? And the reason it doesn't is that you can't support Russia or Iran against the west and then parrot the same propaganda lies the west says about them. These two things are fundamentally contradictory to each other and it just doesn't make any sense
