Iranian state media has confirmed that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed during the strikes the United States and Israel conducted on the country. NBC News' Gabe Gutierrez reports from the White House on what impact the leader's death could have on the country and region.
That’s tankies for you, US bad Russia good. Even when they do the same shit, no ideological consistency regarding the actions only consistency regarding which regime they unquestioningly support, they’re just Bizarro Maga.
We live in your head rent free huh.
And no, our ideas aren’t simply “x is bad”, without violent resistance we’d have slavery, white women would be chained to the kitchen, workers would have never got a 40h work week, etc. We don’t have a consensus on Russia and many will defend it harder because it’s funny to piss off people like you, but Russia is nowhere near as bad as the US, and we wouldn’t have modern Russia if it weren’t for the US as well.
Look at the numbers of people killed just by western sanctions alone, it’s over half a million a year. The US has removed democratically elected leaders too many times, like Salvador Allende in Chile or even Mosaddegh. They’re starving Cuba RIGHT NOW. But I guess unless mainstream media tells you our lives matter you just don’t care.
So yeah, slander us all you want, but we’re nothing if not ideologically consistent.
No you live on Lemmy lol, luckily I rarely have to interact with you irl because you’re all terminally online.
“Nuh uh, we don’t actually like Russia we just pretend to because trolling is our only reason for living. And also they are good and the fact that they’re bad is the US’ fault!” Lmao ok hun.
“The US has done bad things too and I know you just said that both are bad and it’s the actions themselves you should decry but whatabout that huh? Huh?”
Yes child, it is bad the US is doing what they are to Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran. Now your turn, Ukraine, Georgia, Chechnya, Litvineko, Nalvany.
We can play this game forever, my point is that I don’t believe you really care about our lives in the global south, considering you seem to ignore that the vast majority of conflicts involving Russia wouldn’t have manifested without western imperialism. We lose people all the time through sanctions and regime changes and IMF imposed austerity. We don’t celebrate Ukrainian civilians dying, the war that common Ukrainians no longer want to fight won’t end as long as the west refuses a deal.
Yes yes “if it wasn’t for the US then Russia would be perfect good boys, don’t you see? They have to bomb apartment buildings and rape Ukranian civilians because the US (which is supposedly somehow also a vassal state to Russia now because Trump) is the Great Satan!”
I’ve heard it all before. We also wouldn’t have had to go into Iraq if it wasn’t for “WMDs” and wouldn’t be in Iran if it wasn’t for their nuclear program, it’s their fault really! -And other state sponsored lies your western counterparts believe. You’re absolutely no different from them you’re just on “the other” team. What’s next “they had to kidnap Ukranian children because they were checks notes nazis” is it?
