Russia goals are literally the exact same ones as Nazis. Like, in every single way.
How would the Warsaw Pact be an excuse for being a christofascist totalitarian state that imprisons "others", kills political opponents, and invades other countries and steals their children?
None of those people are invading Ukraine right now
That kind of deflection is what cucks do
I did. Too bad that you, as a clown, cant understand it.
Last I checked it's the US that's been doing the exact same thing as nazis since WW2 https://chomsky.info/1990____-2/
True but not the discussion being had here. Stay on topic.
Also, stop holding Chomsky up as an authority on anything. He is a linguistics professor; nothing more....unless you count just being a leftist Alex Jones, presenting his opinion as fact and selling scripted interviews with himself as "documentaries"
The fact that US has been committing atrocities on the global scale for at least a century is crucial context for evaluating behavior of other countries Nothing Russia has done even begins to compare to the behavior US regularly exhibits. Countries have to be held to the same moral standard, and until the west starts accounting for its own crimes it is in no position to play world police or judge other countries.
Meanwhile, Chomsky is an accomplished political scientists with many published academic works on the subject. Dismissing hims as a linguistics professor shows profound lack of intellectual honesty on your part. And of course, nobody is asking you to take what he says as fact based on him saying it. The article makes a case that stands on its own merit, which you'd quickly realize if you bothered reading it.
Wrong. I've read enough Chomsky to know what he is, thank you. And no, I won't excuse Russia for being an asshole just because the US is also.
So you/re now admitting that you're intentionally mischaracterizing Chomsky's area of expertise then. Then you proceed to straw man about excusing something. What was said to you is that the west has to hold itself to the same moral standard that it aims to hold others to. Until people in the west can fix their own broken society they have no business running around judging others. It's absolutely incredible that you can't comprehend this.
So what you're saying is let The invasion continue without any resistance whatsoever because "no u!". It's absolutely incredible that you can't comprehend this.
That's a really incredible take on US having a proxy war with Russia.
All Russia had to do was stay behind their border. It really was just that simple. Nothing more complicated than that. Super easy... barely an inconvenience. So easy even a caveman could do it.
Maybe the bluefaced MAGAt footstomping about "Biden's war" would be acceptable if those same fucking assholes didnt spend twenty years calling us all traitors for objecting to an obviously fake war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
All NATO had to do was to not keep expanding east the way NATO promised to do when USSR dissolved. Nothing more complicated than that. Super easy... barely an inconvenience. So easy even a caveman could do it.
Even Stoltenberg openly admits that NATO expansion was what caused the war:
Your shithole country wanting to be the world hegemon is why the war is happening. The war will end once your deplorable regime decides to abandon Ukraine like a used condom, and we're already seeing signs that this is happening. You fuckers used the people of Ukraine in an idiotic ploy to try and weaken Russia somehow. This scheme was even openly explained by RAND in this paper. Now we see the consequences of that.
Gee, I wonder why countries would be desperately trying to join NATO after Putin obtained unbreakable power? 🤔🤔
Yeah. Nothing al all sus about his endless reign.
NATO expansion started long before Putin got into power buddy, with NATO was invading countries like Yugoslavia. I wonder why Russia would see it as a threat. You just keep on making excuses there for your deplorable empire.
Btw, read your Chomsky article. It is exactly what I said he is: a guy posting opinions without any purpose or context for the sake of hearing himself speak ..a leftist Alex Jones.
This perfectly sums up your comment history.
Lol I'll bet you hi-fived your mirror when you wrote this
