          that’s what Russia is doing right now

          Russia has been part of the West since Yeltsin shelled the Moscow Parliament into submission.

          The Cold War ended 30 years ago. Capitalism won. What we’re experiencing today is post-Soviet imperial powers in a turf war.

          It’s really all nation states. But yeah it doesn’t take away from criticising the west who loves to paint themselves as guaranteer of human rights or whatever.

        NAFO types really hate it when you mention how much JSOC or the Canadian Mounties or Royal Marines have made sexual assault a cornerstone of their organizations.

        Don’t ask anyone in Okinawa why the island’s rate of unprosecuted teenage sexual assault is through the roof
