The Soviet Union was the first country to recognise Israel as a state, and the biggest original supporter. Link

The US became a pivotal supporter only after 1967. (And that’s when Israel allegedly became an asset)

The amount of people here using EXACTLY the same disgusting reasoning that 19th century Europeans used for genocide is… well disgusting.

Yes, to both.

It ain’t hard.

I’m gonna shoot straight with you: USians haven’t been protesting nearly enough. Like not even remotely close. You all need to be out there, striking, organising.

I don’t live in the US, praise be to allah.

Yet, somehow, I do get confronted daily with your insanity.

Really impressed by the amount of USian protests against this insanity.

You will make many friends in the Baltics or the Balkans I am sure.

Italians make bread without salt… Bah!

They confused Central French with Northern French, but it’s true that classic French cuisine, both northern and central, use too much dairy.

I mean I love France with all my being, but there’s no denying the use of cream and butter (or cheese in Northern French cuisine.

Except… there is actual evidence… And Amnesty International verified the human right abuses independently.

The CCP even acknowledged the existence of, what they like to call, “re-education camps”.

You’re denying gross violations of human rights by an Imperial regime.

I think their nationalism is a response to lemmy users showing a lack of solidarity with Ukrainian people being forced to fight and die in a war of Imperial agression. For example if that war is called ‘complicated’ or an ‘NATO proxy war’.

Ukrainian nationalist lunatic with a hate for everything slightly pointing towards anything associated with your Russian neighbour, … like the endangerment of the Ukrainian national identity.

Now… why would that be? :´)

1995 actually

Yes, let’s ask the German government to make Stasi records spying on the private lives of citizens open and public, because it would help strangers win arguments on the internet.

You are not a very serious person, are you?

Yes sure let me just get an eight hour train to Berlin to work on your assignments, random person on the internet.

You do know that the USSR signed a trade deal with Nazi Germany even in 1940, right? When the rest of the world was already blockading Nazi Germany for… being Nazi’s. In fact, in 1940 the Soviet Union delivered about 75% of Nazi Germany’s imports, mostly in oil & steel. Stalin could’ve joined that blockade, and not supplied the necessary materials for the Nazi war machine – but he didn’t.

You can acknowledge that, and still acknowledge the USSR took the brunt of the force fighting the Nazi’s. It’s not a sports game, you don’t have to pick sides.

Mate it’s right there.

Find me an old person anywhere that isn’t nostalgic for their youth.

Please tell me how supportive Lenin was of the Workers’ Soviets as soon as the revolution got calmer.
