Libs: “THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO QUESTION THAT THERE’S GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG, AND IF YOU DARE TO BRING UP THE LACK OF EVIDENCE OF ANY SORT OF ABUSE FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS YOU’LL GET BANNED!!!”
Also libs: “Didn’t you know that 15k of the 40k humans murdered in Gaza were actually terrorists? 
Also, lots of civilians die in wars like the one happening in Gaza, it’s sad but inevitable”
Fuuuuuuuuuck this shit.
I think you could also describe Russian foreign policy in the Middle East (namely Syria) as “adventurism.” AFAIK they’re still occupying parts of Syria with no real exit strategy. While this was done at the request of Syria’s government in order to combat ISIS, Putin hasn’t let the opportunity pass him by to build oil pipelines and whatnot.
Russia has always been called “the sick old man of Europe” for a reason.
I wouldn’t say “Always”
The first popular usage of the phrase was Tsar Nicholas I calling the Ottoman Empire the sick man in the 1800’s, and it was ascribed to alot of nations by alot of nations after WWII.
Nowadays Europe is the sick man of Europe.
