        So if I was just repeating Russian “talking points” you’d have no problem with that?

          It depends on what is being said. Neither @BurgerPunk@hexbear.net nor @Dirt_Possum@hexbear.net did so no I didnt have a problem with that. You on the hand repeated the NATO narrative that Russia is imperialist, indicating that you have a non Marxist understanding of imperialism (because youre a lib) and don’t understand the nature of the war

      It’s impossible to exclude the US, EU and NATO involvement from the whole conflict, including the Maidan coup. Since before 2014, the region was already under a geopolitical dispute. One side (the Ukrainian right) who assumed the government were very much pro EU, ousted the more neutral president and made illegal all opposition parties. So it’s not a matter of whether you like Russia or not, this is a geopolitical conflict.
