    Because Russia is the same as America in pretty much every way. So it is fascist infighting. Trump is also the same as pretty much the same as every other president. Liberals just hate him for idiosyncratic reasons. So it is funny

      Russia is America’s every bad quality dialed up to 12 on steroids. Russia actually manages to make America look good, that’s just what a steaming pile of garbage Russia is. The bar is so low even America can get over it.

        NATO - starts wars and keeps the meat grinder rolling all in the furtherance of capitalist dogma - you sleep

        Russia - literally just exists - you wake

        NATO’s #1 export is war and that’s why NATO is hated around the world. Y’all just give people more reason to hate NATO.

          Russia starting a war with 350,000 casualties and threatening to nuke the West is not literally just existing. If Russia wanted to literally just exist, they never would have literally invaded another country while lying about “training exercises”.

          You’re pro-Russian terrorism, it’s not a good look.

            NATO encircled a world power and for the last couple decades have worked to instigate a war that has led to the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of people on the gamble that Russia would fall and allow the west to loot the country, exactly as they plan to loot a war torn Ukraine. For capitalism.

            You’re pro-NATO terrorism, it’s not a good look.

              That’s pure speculation.

              You literally have to create a fantasy about NATO doing something in the future to justify Russia actually doing evil things right now.

              Being pro imaginary terrorism is way better than being pro real terrorism.

                NATO started this war by intentionally instigating Russia into conflict, using Ukraine as a proxy. Multiple times NATO have stood in the way of peace talks. That’s terrorism.

                Russia, defending ethnically Russian peoples against a state government hostile to their continued existence, and guarding against being encircled by NATO is not terrorism it’s kindergarten level geopolitics
