Oh no Putler bad!
Unironically yes, Putin is like Hitler in some notable ways and is in fact very bad.
Apparently, lots of users here love him.
Wonder if those groups are organic but misled or crafted by China and Russia agencies.
I've read a couple of times that Russia should be supported because USA/NATO attacks countries and stages coups in Latin America for example.
Sure, everyone should be critical of the USA but we can also have a nuanced view.
A thought experiment: What if the USA (Russia) were to invade Mexico (Ukraine)? Should Latin America (Europe) support Mexico (Ukraine) from the invasion?
The same can be applied to other continents. China & Taiwan. Turkey & Greece. Etc
Who says stuff like that around here?
Tankies, tankies say that
I hate tankies
"in Latin America for example" lmao. coup was staged in ukraine/syria. what about iraq? what about nato expansion? what about...
Yes, very good, it applies to those as well. The continent selection in the example is a nice metaphor because there's a physical border shared
i do not think that russia should take over ukraine, but the war between russia and ukraine is different. 30 years ago they were the same country. there are many ukrainians in russia/russians in ukraine. there was a pro west coup in ukraine in 2014. it's like war between pakistan and india
They were not the same country 30 years ago. Ukraine even had its own vote in the UN.
I almost wrote India and Pakistan as one of the examples. That's a good analogy as well
Literal whataboutism. Ridiculous.
Yes, he's bad, evil in fact. Saying it in a mocking tone doesn't change that material reality
Imagine simping for a murdering genocidal dictator
I was really hoping users on Lemmy were mature enough not to use the caveman speak you see all over Reddit.
