This post would go down a lot differently in some corners of Lemmy, lol.
One of two of earth’s superpowers marches on with AK47s on leather slings.
Those are almost certainly AK74 on a fabric sling
There’s only one superpower now.
You could have told me this picture was from 1980 and I wouldn’t have known better
Reminds me of the presence of US mercenaries in Israel. Fascist nations think alike.
Good comparison, but could I ask that you edit to use a different source? That’s an extremely imperialist apologist site.
Didn’t question the assertion, I asked you to use a site that didn’t bootlick genocide, but I guess that was too much to ask.
Also not what moving goalposts means.
I used a completely random link from a list of a hundred of them. If you won’t read that one, search it yourself if you want to read a different source reporting these objective facts. I’m not here to cater to your random requests.
The very definition of Imperialism (which a lot of world users/admins engage in constantly) is being duped into pushing harder for World War III against Russia and China than you could ever muster to defend 50,000 innocent people being genocided using your tax money.
No matter what, regardless of morality, if it means more military spending, neolibs and centrist DNC dupes will conveniently support it.

Apparently Ukrainian people being genocided don’t matter.
Remember, it’s “American provocation of WW3” when Russia commits genocide, but “To be opposed at all costs” when Israel commits genocide.
OK but how does thus justify Russian invasion of ukraine lol
If we were morally consistent, it wouldn’t involve us AT ALL.
We actively supported and even bankrolled Israel to commit 100 hundred times worse war crimes to Palestinians. If it was about morality or being on the side of “good”, why are we on opposite sides of both conflicts? The answer: follow the money. If it profits MIC, the Democrats and their (either unwitting or not) astroturfers will push for it. The Republicans have always been warhawks but now even the left wing is all about extrajudicial killing of citizens if it means PROFIT.
We send HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS to Ukraine for a literally unwinnable proxy war while huge chunks of our population is dying from preventable illnesses due to private healthcare that even the “leftists” in Congress pretend to be helpless on.
What happened to isolationism? I’ll answer that. It’s not profitable for the people actually running the government.
That’s what I thought…
Seems like only yesterday…
In the pursuit of peace we need to remember all the shitty things Russias has done. Not just Ukraine albeit that is more pressing.
Never realized they were all actually so petite. Presumably because they all look 14.
Gotta wonder where are they now. Still in Crimea? Dead somewhere else in Ukraine? Escaped Russia?
These guys are most certainly dead by now if were still fighting during the full-scale invasion. Units like the 155th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade have been completely wiped twice. The average mobik survives only one month on the frontline as of late 2024. It was 4 1/2 months in 2023.
Casualties is not the same as dead. A lot of those guys will be injured too badly to fight but not dead.
“illegal military seizure?” That’s a lot of words to say “invasion”
