          You’re counting both sides but then blaming only Russia lol? Hard to take that seriously. Give us Ukrainian deaths, preferably only civilian deaths, and then we might have a conversation.

          Russia’s primary exports are murder, lies, and nuclear terrorism.

          That would be the United States actually. Especially the last thing since Russia has never nuked anyone and America has.

            You know how US Republicans like to claim that they are the party that ended slavery?

            If you have to dig way back in history to make your point relevant and ignore everything that’s happening in the present day, your point is stupid and your mental stretching looks ridiculous.

              I don’t have to dig back very far to find US atrocities actually. The Afgan war ended two years ago and was one of the counterpoints brought up to you.

              But the idea that the United States is acutally better today than when they dropped the bombs is rich. At least we were nominally fighting fascism then.

              ETA: OK so if by “nuclear terrorism” you mean… the mere act of having nukes and the implicit threat of using them. America has nukes too. Today. In 2023. Or is it only nuclear terrorism when bad country has nukes?

                Putin has threatened nukes. Biden has not threatened nukes.

                At least we were nominally fighting fascism then.

                America was fighting a fascist enemy, not against fascism itself. America practically invented fascism.

                There are no limit of ways to criticize the US, but it’s slowly, marginally getting better. The US is slowly progressing.

                Russia is getting worse.

            Putin has threatened to use nukes as recently as this year.

            Are you defending a dictator who threatens to start a nuclear holocaust?

      You honestly think less civilians were killed in all those things COMBINED than by Russia? Really? That’s actually one of the most wild liberal claims I’ve ever seen, and thats saying something. You’ve lost attachment to reality.

        Prove me wrong. If you can’t, well of course you’re a troll farm and you’re part of the reason Russia has a reputation as the shitstain of the world.

          You made the extraordinary claim. Your job to provide proof.

          Also I’m an American communist from New England. One of the posts on my profile is about weird shit in the American Pie movies. Another recent one you can actually see is about Skyrim. Clearly troll farm shit. (I’d point out the idea that the Kremlin would bother to astroturf lemmy is INSANE, but that ones been falling on deaf ears because you all are so self important).

              Jesus I really doubt someone with Fae in their name is cishet but you used that word really slurishly.

              simping for a dictatorship

              I’m not. Looking at the Ukraine War with the nuance and knowledge of geopolitics it deserves isn’t simping for Putin. I hate the Putin regime, especially what they do to their queer community. Its not like Ukraine is that much better on queer issues though?

              My posting history goes back three years before federation. You’ll find very few of my posts were about the Ukraine war.

                I’m obviously queer af. And wtf about that was slur, and how could you be more bothered that someone used the word “queer” online more than a dictatorship that genocides queer people.

                Unless you hate queer people, and hate being reminded they exist, and you want them to be removed from the world.

                Nuance

                What nuance? No one from Hexbear has posted anything nuanced, it’s all whataboutism of every other country that isn’t Russia.

                Y’all are literally more offended than anyone would criticize Russia than anything else.
