    Russia invaded Chechnya and committed an atrocious genocide in 1999-2000, invaded Georgia in 2008, then invaded Crimea 2014, then the Donbass in 2015. The full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 is not the start of history. Russia has plenty to things to hold them accountable of, even more if you go back into the cold war era and after world war 2. Not to mention their daily attacks on civilians in Ukraine.

    China is currently illegally occupying Tibet since 1951 and it is daily committing crimes against humanity on the Muslim minority Uyghur in the Xinjiang. They have illegally claimed ownership of the South China sea (simply a formal name and does not mean it belongs to them) and are daily harassing and ramming fishing boats from other nations who have legal rights to fish there, a blatant breach against international laws.

    These two nations break against international laws every single day. They are just like the USA. The difference is that USA pretends to be a law abiding democracy, while China and Russia doesn’t. They are both unapologetic dictatorships with nothing but malice and ill intent for everyone but themselves.

      Liberals continue to get their political framework from marvel movies

        As opposed to what? What alignment do you have and what fictional media do you get your world view from? TASS and Chinese state news? Give me a fucking break.

      In all four circumstaces you have US meddling with democratic rule. Chechnya went from newly formed democracy to Russia-isolated dictatorship in a blink of an eye and immediately killed the regional Russian leader, which was absolutely not what people voted for. Georgia attacked a Russian majority area. Ukraine attacked the Russian majority area in the Donbass in 2015. Crimea did not get invaded. It declared independence, because their then current leader was unelected.

      China liberated Tibet since 1951 by popular demand. People were sick and tired of their absolutely brutal theocratic leader enslaving most of their populace and invited China to take control over their nation as long as they could rule as an autonomous region. The Uyghurs are a majority group in autonomous Xinjiang. What’s a minority is the ISIS-affiliated terrorist group that want a theocratic state. The South China sea was agreed upon during world war II. The US now denies that claim, because it is being a sore loser as the communist party has practically won the civil war.

      The US has invaded Iraq, killed over a million people based on a complete and total lie. The US invaded Afghanistan to find a terrorist. He wasn’t there. The US invaded Libya, because they didn’t like the way Ghadaffi ran his country. The US plotted coups in every Arab nation and then called that “the Arab spring”, because they weren’t considered loyal enough to the US empire.
      The US is being a sore loser protecting the Chinese Republicans that fled to Taiwan, because the communist party has practically won the civil war. The US is starting a war with Venezuela based on lies of drug trafficking, but recently being more honest that it simply wants to destroy that nation so that they can steal all of its oil.

      One is not like the other two.

        They make a desert coup and call it peace spring.

        Wow that is completely insane. Did you get that from Russian and Chinese history books? Spoiler alert, they are full of lies. That’s completely unhinged and false, any credible source will tell you otherwise. You have been fooled and Indoctrinated by propaganda and misinformation.

          No, I simply read wikipedia and followed the news as history took place and over the years I noticed so much hypocrisy on the US side and so little information from the other side, that I started to read more indepth to see what else might be going on.

          I still remember how many times the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were called “full scale invasions of US aggression” that impede on these two nation’s sovereignity.

          I also remember all the things said about “US freedom” a million times, like other countries will always use more tarrifs, because they don’t have such a great democracy like the US, which is why the US will always have the most open and free trade.

          And so many more things.

          Like one poster here said, most people in the west don’t become communist by reading communist propaganda, but by reading capitalist propaganda and seeing through its contradictions.

          “The foreigners, they lie! Not like the US government, whose world-spanning network of propaganda and documented attempts at mind control are purely decorative.”

          Occam’s Razor here. The genocidal child-trafficking US empire, or everyone it’s ever been at odds with: who is more likely to be lying?
