      North Korea is peacefully advancing their economy, technology, and living standards. Since they are Communists, this cannot stand. We must invade to destroy the country before they can do Communism.

      The liberal image of North Korea is of like…Mordor or something. You ask them to picture North Korea and they imagine that scene from the lord of the rings where the orcs are making weapons preparing for war in a burnt out volcanic wasteland. That’s honestly what they think the country is like. The lies about the country are so extreme in the liberal press that their view of it is entirely 100% fictional. They don’t know a single thing about the country and are incredibly hostile to learning even the most basic facts about them.

      Fortunately we don’t have to worry about libs like this because their only solutions are writing their reps, going to “protests” at the designated time and place and then immediatly going home, and voting.

      So it’s not like their going to have literally any impact on anything.

    the year the world descended into the next dark age

    Americans are screaming as if the world is ending because their empire is getting destroyed and their own country is balkanizing. Meanwhile, the rest of the world carries on their lifes.

    the year the world descended into the next dark age

    I’m waiting until the world realises that we’re already in the dark age and that year was 1991 not 2023

    Liberals wholeheartedly believe that if Russia gains an inch of territory that their next move will be to overthrow the world. If you mention that this is unreasonable and illogical, they insinuate that you’re a Putin sympathizer and you want that to happen.

    These are the people who claim to want peace.

      Putin has been in power for ~25 years. In that time, Russia has fought wars in… I think Chechnya, Georgia, and Dagestan. Small territories that were formerly part of the USSR, and for all I know it’s possible the USSR was justified in intervening or at the very least Russia’s action could not be called “imperial”. I guess there’s Syria too but the US is there too so that’s a wash.

      Ukraine is the first real, full scale war Putin has launched. Still within the former borders of the USSR. And that was a war Putin tried to avoid and could have been avoided had Ukraine gone along with Minsk II and stopped shelling the Donbas.

      Should we discuss all the imperialist invasions and wars the US has been in in the last 25 years?

      Putin has had 25+ years to show he is imperialist and hasn’t done it yet. But libs think he’s gonna lead the Russian army to Paris if NATO dares shows any weakness.

        But have you considered that imperialism is when a country does anything in another country? Kinda like the imperialist CCP building infastructure in Africa to lead them away from FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY™. Bet you didn’t think about that. Chechmate tankie smuglord

        Ukraine is also a former USSR member and the last time they “invaded” it, they were actively collaborating with the Third Reich

          The Soviets didn’t invade Ukraine. The Ukrainian SSR was fighting alongside the Soviets against the Nazis. As much as I hate the UPA and modern Ukraine, I’ll never undermine or discredit the sacrifice made by Ukrainians in saving the world from Fascism.

            Very good point. I edited my original comment to put scare quotes around “invaded”

            It pisses me off to no end when, for example, westerners will refer to heros like Lyudmila Pavlichenko as “Russian” when like… she was born and raised in fucking Kyiv. She was a Soviet Ukranian, and many of the Nazis she killed were also Ukranians.
