    The U.S. isn’t any better than Russia. The world would be a better place if the Kremlin and the White House were razed to the ground. Including, of course, the assholes inside them.

      I think the US has been significantly worse than Russia over the last century if not more. They’ve been in various capacities in Vietnam, Korea, Phillipines, Panama, Cuba, and those are just the ones off the top of my head. Read about their colonial, commercial and other wars as well as their regime change ops that has brought countless right-wing dictators around the world, that have killed shit ton of people.

        The U.S. is the global hegemonic imperialist power, but that doesn’t mean that Russia can do no wrong.

          Yeah that’s what people are saying, they’re saying Russia can do not wrong. You guys always have to make these weird strawman because when you make an actual comparison of what each country has done and why, your “both sides” argument crumbles like a cheap cookie.

      Weird moment to do a both-sides. Guess the US imperialist propaganda doesn’t allow you to think anything could be worse than Russia. Especially not the US empire itself.

        Previous US administrations at least tried to keep up a veneer of respecting international law. Under Trump is just naked imperialism which is pretty much the same as that of Russia, except their armed forces are actually capable. So yes, bothsideism is justified here for once.
