        After starting the whole WWII thing by allying with them, and only turned on the nazis after the nazis backstabbed them. And afterwards, occupied half of Europe.

          I mean, I’m just saying they’re largely responsible for finishing the third reich off. Nothing else. Russia-lovers in the western world are a joke. The e-commie thing in its entirety is absurd. But the one positive thing I can say about them is th at they technically dealt the biggest blow to the Nazi regime

            I get that, it’s just that they didn’t do it because they were the good guys, just because they got fucked over by the other group of bad guys, and slaughtered lots of their own people doing it.

        When they didn’t like them anymore … It doesn’t forgive what they have been doing ever since. My country and many others have been ravaged and are still struggling with the ghost of communism. Thousands of people died in horrible conditions because of these so-called saviors.

        And no I am not excusing what us has done in any way. They have their own sins to atone for. But between the russian drunken stupor of a society I’ll take the “depraved” west any day.

      Same can be said of the US, however that’s no reason to think the other NATO members should not help Ukraine. BRICS is an umbrella term for several countries.

          It’s an analogy, just because you’re in an alliance with an imperialist fascist state, doesn’t mean you can’t do the right thing.

          I worry for the reading comprehension of our US brethren although it does explain a couple of the recent world events.
