Western libs should think about this. It’s going out of hands and he is very serious on this.

        I’m a clown for recognizing that Putin is no proponent of communism or queer or black liberation?

        ok

        Its good when our enemies are fighting each other, but that doesn’t make some of them suddenly our friends

      Putin is bad

      None of us here are saying that Russia is a shining beacon of communism. I think though that a binary “good” and “bad” isn’t how the world works — there are varying degrees of good and bad.

      If we had an evil scale where higher = more evil like some people would like to have, and the Putin administration is some finite number, post-Euromaidan Ukrainian government is a higher one, and the US is definitely infinity.

        I don’t understand what you’re talking about/ what I’m looking at, can you explain what you mean?

        Also, I’m not a liberal in case you thought I was doing the western liberal version of putler bad

        I don’t know about this specifically, but China’s typically taken a neutral route when it comes to international affairs. And that’s for better or worse I guess. They haven’t really funded external communist groups nor have they embroiled themselves within proxy wars. Last time I think they did that was the Korean War?

        And that’s fair to criticize but China’s pretty consistent on how it tries to achieve very neutral terms internationally. China even trades weapons with Israel, which sucks.
