    i'm anti-war / anti-imperialism so i hate everything going on right now. i feel for the ukranian and russian people alike. i like the anarchist responses about the situation -

    all in all though, fuck this entire war. but i really lost my fucking mind when i heard joe biden say this today:

    "President Putin has sought authorization from the Russian parliament to use military force outside of Russian territory. And this set the stage for further pretexts and further provocations by Russia to try to justify further military action.

    None of us—none of us should be fooled. None of us will be fooled. There is no justification."

    like how dare anyone in the us government talk like that. it's unfathomable how the man who literally pushed for invading iraq without cause in 2002 gets away with using this sentiment as justification for war. like say you feel for the citizens of ukraine and you want peace, but instead it's framed for maintaining the possibility of escalation.

    this all around sucks

    • While Biden sucks, and I'm not trying to handwave American aggression, it's not a both sides issue. Putin did go "wink wink nukes" if anybody tries to stop him.garbage
    • We didn't do that when we started our failed war on terror. If there's anything to be thankful for, at least Biden beat Trump.garbage
    • Two days ago he described Putin's actions as "genius".garbage
    • As in "evil genius" ?pango
    • i agree with trump, this is a great move by putin in terms of geopolitical strategy. ukraine isn't in nato, the us just spent 20 years at war.colin_s
    • sanctions will only go so far and putin is flexing with comments about nukes. he puts the world in a tough place so long as he stops in ukraine.colin_s
    • The world is in a tough place because Russia is a nuclear power and Europe has no real military. Not because it's a genius move necessarily.yuekit
    • Even with Russia being able to push their weight around, it's always inherently difficult to invade and occupy a country as the USA learned on many occasions.yuekit
    • Putin is a 9th dan geniius.Brabo_Brabo
