This reddit dork quote points is lame. Stop it.

I think my points are relevant.

​

America is not like “any other country”. No other country has 800 military bases in other countries. No one else is arming over 80% of the world’s dictatorships.

Okay.

​

America is the biggest threat to global democracy, security, and peace since the Third Reich.

It was wrong for the US to invade Iraq, Afghanistan, fight in Vietnam, or bomb Iran, but none of these were democracies. Ukraine was more a democracy in 2014 than they were or are; and like the US, Russia exploited weakness.

I suppose Rome was pretty bad too, but was Byzantine or the Dark Ages in the West much better? I’m not saying you have to choose between one or the other, but maybe being a bit more nuanced could help.

The first half of the 20th century was pretty bloody, but with the US emerging from 1945 as a world power, and for a while the USSR too, things seem relatively more peaceful.

​

Even Americans agree.

Yep. 2026 changed a lot of minds about the US: that’s Trump for you, I suppose.

​

If that’s true about Afghanistan being the graveyard of empires, then who the fuck just left with their imperialist tail between their legs? Whose days are numbered now?

Apparently the Islamic empire had/has quite a hold there.

Also, if a supposed 3rd world country like Afghanistan can humiliate the US, as Iran seems to be, or at a smaller level, Al Qaeda, it seems the US isn’t all that threatening—paper tiger and all of that.

When do you think the US will collapse? Will it be before 2050—23 years, 2 months from now?

For better or worse, I think it’s going to be around for a while.

​

Maybe I should clarify, all CONFLICT AREA pipelines lead to Europe. Syria, Ukraine, these are all “pipeline wars”.

I suppose, after all, there’s been a “Cool War” going on with Russia since Putin took over, and it’s increased with his invasion of Ukraine, which is a European country; and the Arab Spring and the resulting brutal repression by the Assad gang and arguably the resultant Islamic State hasn’t been all that good for the free flow of goods (in this case petroleum and natural gas).

​

An yeah, “Ukrainian nationalism” is fascism. They’re Nazis, and they’ve had a stranglehold on the government and war effort since their 2014 coup.

Isn’t all nationalism fascistic?

Who’d say that Putin, Xi, and the Kim gang in North Korea aren’t nationalist? Are they thus fascists?

Why would they have a Jew as their President? You call him a kapo, but why a kapo when you could have the real deal?

​

Zelensky campaigned and won on the promise of peace through the Minsk Agreement.

and Chamberlain thought he’d guaranteed “Peace for our time” in 1938. Presumably that man did not want a repeat of WWI.

​

He said that America was trying to weaken Russia at the expense of Ukrainians.

Did he literally say that, or something very similar, and if so it wasn’t taken out of context?

​

Yet, he watched helplessly as the Azov Brigade continued to shell civilians in Donetsk.

Unfortunately, when one shells insurgents, there’s a probable risk of civilian casualties. This is true with the Gaza and Assad barrel-bombing Syria.

There’s a fair amount of Ukrainian civilian blood on Putin’s hands.

​

Now he is just a kapo stooge who will never outlive his usefulness to his Banderite handlers.

and the Banderites, Nazis, far right, and Wolfsangel wavers will never outlive their usefulness to Putin.

They are as useful to Putin as Hamas was/is to Netanyahu.
