@ПапаМожет-ъ6ф Yugoslavia was trying to enact genocide. Unless you want to argue that putting down the Nazis was a bad thing, your argument is abhorrent. Afghanistan was a defensive war in response to 9/11 as the Taliban aided Al Qaeda in the effort and was hiding OBL initially. Afghanistan effectively already declared war. 2003 Iraq War was counted in the 3 wars I stated. 2011 Libya was also counted, though that's also iffy as the UN gave permission for the no fly zone. 2014 Syria was not the West starting a war, Syrian Civil War occurred and factions within like the SDF petitioned for aid against Assad. It should be noted that Russia and Assad killed far more civilians than any other group in that conflict. This list is not extensive.

@ПапаМожет-ъ6ф West has only started like 3 wars themselves in the past 40 years or so lol

@arondahlberg5086 Bruh, what are you talking about? The US invaded and occupied Baghdad with 30k troops and it had around 7 million people living there. This is why everyone expected Russia to win; because everyone was thinking that Russia was not that much weaker than the US was.

@JamesC785 Huh. You know, that's a fair point, people shouldn't be so quick to act like a country's decision implicates everyone. People, myself included, am just tired of pro-Kremlin talking points being repeated ad neaseum by places in the ME and Africa based on anti-Western sentiment. Understandable, but disgusting. Still, shouldn't be used to bash. I'll also try to be better.

@NLTops Africa gets a lot of grain from Ukraine, so they will actually suffer more than the West will. Funny considering their lack of principles in this matter.

@John-hu9qg The Ruble has not recovered, its in hiding. Kremlin refuses to let open trading for the Ruble continue through the Russian stock exchange for a reason and is inflating the value atm. Russia is not getting any actual aid in this conflict, let alone from BRIC.

@John-hu9qg Very little trade goes to BRIC nations outside of China. China makes up something like 90% of all BRIC trade with Russia (checked Statista). Russian trade with the EU alone makes up $278B while Russian trade with China makes up $148B. That doesn't even include the US and Canada, or the sanctions effects on other companies NOT from the West. So you're literally lying. How desperate are you to defend a gas station of a country, "John"?

@redpillscience1288 Ah yes, they deny Ukraine's right to exist at the start of the war, attempt to take critical airports near Kyiv which are used to resupply and quickly move troops, and sent 30k men to Kyiv. "Russia never had plans to take over ukraine" he lies as easily as he breathes. You can't force any "demilitarization" or "denazification" without taking out the government, genius. Neither is occurring as the Ukrainian military is still entirely intact and the "denazification" in question is in relation to the government in power which is STILL HERE. Cope harder, fascist.

@GoolagCEO Hahahaha, most defense of US hegemony usually ends up as "they're not as bad as the alternatives", it's honestly hilarious
