      Yhea, but I think it is more important to criticise “your” side for doing that. I hate when russians do that, but I am not going to call or write my Kremlin representative? I am in Michigan and so I call and write to my representatives and hope they are primaried the fuck out.

      Like the BS of “do you condemn Hammas”? yhea, i did, I called my Hamas representative and gave them a mouthful? you see? condemning the other side, especially if you only condemn the other side is just BS propaganda. Condemn your side for the crimes your representatives are supporting and your taxes pay for.

        It just targets “Westoids” meanwhile that’s what Russia is doing right now, that’s why I wanted clarification

          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.

            When people talk of Western world Russia is pretty often not counted in that

              When George Bush Jr was meeting with Vladimir Putin to coordinate the War on Terror across Central Asia, “people” did.

          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
