      I will assume good faith of your post. But I have a question. Do you think Russia is also “not compatible with the human species”? After all, Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, and is still waging that invasion right now.

      Note: my last reply to you asking a similar question was removed by a mod because of “rule 8”. I assume that’s this one:

      No sectarianism, also when engaging with your fellow users please take the most charitable interpretation and assume good faith.

      I am trying to comply with that rule. I just genuinely would be interested to hear what you think of other global military actions that have a similarity to what the US has just done in Venezuela.

        hey just for fun why don’t you go ahead and put together a list of all the countries the russian federation has invaded since its inception vs. the number of countries the u.s. has invaded in that same time span

        or hey why not

        the number of sanctions levied

        the number of governments overthrown

        the number of terrorist organizations funded

        the number of genocides conducted or facilitated

          I’m pretty sure Ukraine was not killing ethnic Russians in Ukraine before Russia invaded Ukraine. In fact I don’t think Ukraine is killing ethnic Russians in Ukraine now - except for Russian soldiers who are trying to grab Ukrainian land by force and ultimately destroy the democratically elected government of Ukraine.

          Why do you think it’s morally correct to invade a country, murder its soldiers and civilians, and try to grab its land?

        Not explicitly, but I saw brainwormed comments about Trump now being the same as Putin, and Putin ordering Trump to do it (wtf?), or some bullshit about equating this with Taiwan and comparing Trump to Xi. kiryu-pain

        But I did see a lib condemning Trump, while simultaneously hoping that at least Maduro will be gone after this, really showing his imperialist ass. It always helps to remind me how useless liberals are.

        Not sure if it qualifies as “lib space”, as those people are probably much worse, but HackerNews threads on the attack and kidnapping are an absolute cesspool.

        I see a lot of “Maduro was a really really bad guy who definitely steals elections, but Trump did this illegally.”

        Like there is a correct way to do a coup like this and he didn’t follow the process.

      Same with discord servers had some wannabe comprador spreading shit about how actually this is what Venezuelans want. cia

      So blatantly bootlicking and naive even other libs were talking how this is no different than Russia invading crimea (using that example instead of Iraq is certified LIB moment) and they say if Russia invaded Venezuela they would support it to so they can live in neoliberal heaven.

      Mfer thinks imperialist treats will be given in 2026.

        Comment section on CNNs coverage is full of “I’m Venezuelan and Maduro needed to go” of course. Literally saw a guy with a BR flag profile picture say “We South Americans support all these American interventions!”

        It’s honestly incredible to bump into Langley just out and about on the internet.

    HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE COME TO HATE AMERICA SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR THE BOURGEOISIE AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR AMERICA. HATE. HATE.

      so many of these dweebs fall back on some sort of “human nature” falsehood and honestly it’s time to turn it back on them.

      cappies/fash are subhuman. they actively reject the human spirit of community and cooperation. unlike their targets (minorities), they are not being labeled subhuman for their inherent traits - they are confirmed subhuman by their ongoing actions and beliefs.

      you therefore cannot be convicted for killing them. only humans can be murdered

    Meanwhile the Europeans:

    Aside from the fact they’re losing an ally, Russia is probably up in arms right now saying this is all the proof they need that Euromaidan in Ukraine was a US coup (it wasn’t)

    I don’t think I’ve ever been this pissed tbh. I’m fucking seething this demon is so fucking stupid. We are so goddamn boned. We essentially just gave China and Russia the green light.

    This and every single smug pro-china/russia mfer out there feeling real justified right now

    Europeans deserve to be enslaved by the USA for all eternity.

      They almost make me wish that their propaganda about Russia wanting to invade Europe was actually true. I’d enjoy seeing these fuckers get steamrolled and humiliated as payback for all the crimes they committed over the centuries that they’re still proud of.

      Though Europe breaking from US control would likely be the sign of the US empire’s death, and so a good thing.

      Fuck the EU leaders though. Fucking sub freaks.

      this is all the proof they need that Euromaidan in Ukraine was a US coup (it wasn’t)

      Mountains of evidence and eyewitness testimony of election interference and ethnic cleansing and the West arming and supporting Neo-Nazi groups and probably some declassified CIA reports in a few years versus “it wasn’t”

      I’m more convinced than ever that the heat death of the universe will occur before the U.S. or Israel ever dies. They will just defy all logic and reason and do it, because this world is hell.

      Is it any wonder I’m beginning to grow more detached with each passing day. I should be more angry about this, but I legitimately don’t have the energy to be angry anymore.

      If Hell exists, I want to get a part-time job there torturing the people responsible for this shit, assuming they don’t achieve immortality or something.

    Reading the news here in SSweden now, it’s all “passive voice”. Not a harsh word used against the US. No condemnation.

    They call it “tensions” when the US have been massacring civilians. They do the drug propaganda but with the whole probable deniability shtick “according to the US” and just keep repeating it ad nauseam until it becomes the truth). They say Maduro have been “arrested”. No clue how US can “arrest” people in, let a lone leaders of, sovereign nations but there you go. They talk about explosions like it’s it’s the weather, just happening, oh and some planes flew over for some reason. No correlation. shrek-troll

    But then they admit, in the same article, that it’s the US doing it and assure me that “some of the buildings hit have been military targets”. Wow, that’s a relief, those other buildings shrug-outta-hecks Also, again, bombing a sovereign nation should be… problematic? Never mind I guess…

    And so on. Like a wall of text to water it down. At the very end of the article they mention that the US might have interest in the natural resources but you know it’s just the hamas controlled Venezuelan goverment saying it. Never mind that Trump is just straight up admitting it, no need to report that.
