Russia isn't imperialist. Imperialism isn't when invasion or when big country is bad

Authoritarian is a useless pejorative as every nation that has been or currently is is "authoritarian".

"fully understands the core of international politics" lol

bit timid. I would have gone for

"intimately fathoms the very essence of international politics"

ukros fully support the shitrahell genociders

flip on the x-axis

what kind of natural reserves do you guys have ?

Who's out here saying Ukraine should bomb "all the cities"? Most people from the first frame of OP would also be saying stop the bombing, not bomb more. E.g. stop the bombing of Palestine etc.

I have seen like two dozen outspoken liberals on this very site refer to Russian people writ large as orcs, and the Russian language as orcish

"Racist" what the fuck man. World's smartest american just dropped.

IDK how you were so ignorant on what the rules based order was despite its obvious misuse for decades but you should look at what Carney said recently.
Spilling the beans because he is upset with his masters.

From their inception the "rules based" global order and international "law" were simply shields for the imperial cores worst excesses and sticks to beat states that refused to submit. There was no good in defending them they were simply more tools of imperialism.

Like objectively, as an American, America has(more like had) great PR but has been a horribly violent imperialist nation for ages. The horrors they've exported have destabilized several nations for baseless power grabs and war profiteering.

I'm not saying Americans as a whole but the US government and the forces that actually drive it. Money and power has corrupted this nation and it is evil at its core. The tenuous peace that has existed for the past few decades is propped up but fraud and military excess. It's not good for this planet as a whole. The genocidal history of America has been white washed and glossed over. What's they've don't to south America, the middle east, and south east Asia is unforgivable kind of shit man.

They aren't the good guys, they're the "victors" who have written history in their favor.

Pre-WW2, the answer was WASPs convinced of their own greatness. After WW2 it was because the US did a good thing and let it get to their heads. To this day, I'll see Americans online see the US get criticized and pull out the old "if it wasn't for us, you'd all be talking German" line. Like dude, you're taking credit for something you didn't do, probably wouldn't do, and it doesn't justify the shitty things that ARE happening.

And the rules based global order was a good idea that some Americans had but too many other Americans decided that the US got to have constant exceptions to the rules which makes the whole thing ultimately not work.
