The Ukraine conflict is not a proxy war. I don't give a shit what some old English professor who still thinks it is 1967 told you or what fucker Carlson was paid to say.
Russia launched an unprovoked attack against a neighbor. If you want to shill for russia at least produce some sorta evidence. Show me the details of how the NATO alliance was funneling in resources for an invasion of Russia.
Why does the hard right and Chomsky-tankies agree on so much?
You make a lot of assumptions about me that are all false. I'm not on the political right and never listen to Tucker Carlson. You need to chill the fuck out assuming I'm taking sides.
I call it a proxy war because the US and NATO are not at war with Russia yet they are funneling resources and intel to Ukraine in an effort to help them win this conflict. The other side of the proxy can be anyone assisting Russia. That includes Iran and possibly China.
I assumed you were a Chomsky-tankie and I am not wrong.
Then you don't know what a proxy war means. A proxy war is when I get someone to fight for me, a proxy war is not when I give someone the means to defend themselves. Russia was under no threat and started this. Enough with this both sidism.
I don't know who you think you are but you don't get to define who I am or what my view should be. I don't take either side. Why the fuck should I care about what happens over there? What I do know is when the war broke out last year and Africans who were in Ukraine were stopped from leaving as the Ukrainians tried to get them to fight. As someone of african descent I only have sympathy for the victims of this conflict and not the countries involved. And as for this being a proxy war, the US has already been accused of instigating a coup in Ukraine in 2014. The US has a history if involving themselves in the business of other countries to get the government they want in power. Look at all of Central America as an example.
I will never just take one side as fact because all sides will lie and manipulate. I take no side because it has nothing to do with me.
Gotcha another both sidism tankie. Tell your buddy Chomsky that the 60s are over and it's time to grow up.
So no argument against my claims. Just personal attacks. Guess we're done here.
