US imperialism, for which Ukraine is a pawn. This is the proxy war that the US has wanted for decades, with the goal of regime change and/or the Balkanization of Russia.
So what you’re saying is that Russia has no agency, and their invasion of Ukraine is NOT it imperial in nature.
In fact, they’re only seizing Ukrainian territory to add to their own, because of the United States. And that somehow negates any aspect of Russian imperialism.
Well that makes sense, because I know one thing about Russia, and that it’s definitely not a stitched together country of conquered and subjugated people’s.
Or, hear me out, maybe it’s possible for both the United States and Russia, to wage imperial wars of aggression. Just because the United States is an imperial power, that doesn’t preclude any other great powers from acting on their own delusions of empire.
Classic Ukrainian imperialism…
Also, classic enlisted soldier get rich quick scheme: dying just to get the death benefits.
Wait a minute…what now?
