You say it like I'm some capitalist pig that doesn't agree with all of the above. I don't get why Russia gets a pass though, they mucked about in Africa, Asia and Latin America in their past too. They are still in Africa from what I understand and it's hard to pretend they aren't in Ukraine specifically for ressources.

    Russia doesn't get a pass for it's actual imperialism, but Russia's other actions doesn't make this action imperialist.
    It's hard to pretend they are in Ukraine for resources, Ukraine was having a full blown civil war over the banning of speaking russian. I know we're used to standing idly by and shrugging our shoulders when someone's attempting genocide, but saying Russia is there for resources is just pretending history started in 2022.
