    “How can they not be a Good Guy if they’re fighting a Bad Guy!”

    Liberals continue to get there politics from capeshit.

    Chinese/Russian trolling.

    Just openly admitting that you see all foreigners as interchangeable villains.

      Any open war is an absolute worst thing any country can do.

      And by opening a conflict, it makes the other side automatically looking better. Irregardless of any history or precedens.

      Specially if it drags for years. Just go back and let it be.

        An open war is absolutely not even close to the worst thing a country can do

        Just go home and let those guys keep bombing their own citizens, they’ll figure it out on their own

        And don’t even get me started on intervening with a country commiting active genocide, that’s their business

          Fucking yes.

          Provide aid to those affected, open corridors so people can run away, but never start a full scale war.

          Fuck everyone who has ever done that, way more than anyone else.

      Uh, what? Look at the context of this post, jackass. The meme is trying to portray Russia as a misunderstood good guy while everyone else is evil. I agree with most of the evil flags being there rightfully, but Ukraine is literally defending itself from unjustified invasion. Jfc, it’s crazy this has to be explained. Just look at the entire history of Russia’s aggression and bullying of Ukraine and try to tell me with a straight face that they’re unjustified in defending themselves from a foreign aggressor.

        The flag of Russia isn’t even in the meme, “jackass.” The flag of the USSR is, though sadly it hasn’t existed for a few decades now. Like most clueless liberals happily drowning in propaganda, you are falsely equating modern capitalist Russia with the USSR.

        And that’s not even getting into the fact that even modern Russia (whose flag appears nowhere in this image, genius) was wholly justified in entering the civil war that had already been ongoing inside Ukraine on behalf of the eastern regions of Ukraine whose civilians were being slaughtered by the Ukrainian government’s militias. But I admit that it’s hard to keep a straight face when talking to someone who uses NATO buzzwords like “unjustified foreign aggressor” because I keep having to facepalm.

        Begging liberals to stop thinking of the world in terms of “good guys and bad guys” like overgrown toddlers and start looking at things in terms of cause and effect like adults

        Kiev is run by Bandera-upholding Neo-Nazis that took power in the western-backed Euromaidan coup in 2014. Since then, 13,000+ civilians in the Donbass region have been killed by the Kiev regime, which is why Donetsk and Luhansk voted to secede. Communists generally support Russian intervention to protect the DPR and LPR against the western-backed fascists, who shortly before Russian intervention had ammassed huge forces to invade the Donbass region and retake it.

        Ukraine is supported by the west for similar reasons as Israel, they are governed by the far-right and serve western interests in their respective regions.

        No it doesn’t, you’re strawmanning

        I agree with most of the evil flags being there rightfully, but Ukraine is literally defending itself from unjustified invasion.

        You think being invaded automatically makes a country good?
