  • I very clearly said I supported their independence, but okay.

    But you are clearly being deceitful, just in this comment you basically admit that you don't actually support their independence.

    Look:

    Honestly I wouldn't even much of a problem if they just invaded Donbas

    The DPR and LPR invited Russia. How could they have "just invaded Donbas."

    Please explain

    A) The Donbas isn't really independent and you consider it Ukrainian property. (Surely not, you insist that this isn't the case) B) You consider soldiers who are in a foreign country to be invaders regardless of the relationship of the two states? (Can't be this or the US is invading half the planet right this second, including Taiwan) C) ???

    Please enlighten us.

    This isn't even getting into the point that multiple people made that you've ignored for half an hour, that once you're in a war with someone who wants to conquer you, sending your soldiers into their territory isn't an act of aggression, otherwise the US and the Soviets aggressed against the Nazis, which only an actual Nazi would claim.

    (To be clear, I don't think you're a Nazi, just an intellectually dishonest liberal).

  • The KMT was certainly a threat to Formosans, and to leftists living in the island they'd seized.

    If the Confederacy had survived the war as rump state in Southern Florida and continued to claim to rule the entire US South and in the mid nineties claimed to be a democracy and then finally elected a non-military president in the aughts, would you call the US imperialist for not recognizing the Confederacy?

  • If Taiwan was blatantly fascistic, genocidal, had slavery, etc. I would support China colonizing them... but they aren't.

    Taiwan AKA the Republic of China was founded as a settler colonial military dictatorship

  • So if you invade another country and as part of their defense of their country, their military enters your country, they're now the aggressors?

    Do you apply that principal to all conflicts, or only against enemies of the West?

  • It doesn't seem like you do given you referred to the current war as an invasion by Russia and Ukraine has been shelling it's neighbors the LPR and DPR for nearly a decade.

    Can you clarify why Russia shouldn't be involved in the war between Ukraine and its smaller neighbors?

  • Wait, do you support Donbas self rule or not? Are they not allowed to invite their ally (Russia) to support them militarily in a war of aggression by their neighbor, Ukraine?

  • So you oppose Ukrainian rule over Crimea and the Donbas?

  • Tell me, what are your opinions on Crimea and the Donbas, CatholicSocialist?

  • You can argue about anything, but these countries are absolutely US vassals.

  • I'd expect US vassals like Canada, Japan and the EU to side with the US.

  • Until you actually clarify everyone is going to assume you're mad that you can't say the n-word and are a huge bigot.

    EDIT: at this point, even if you clarify, I personally will assume you're just covering your ass

  • Is free speech just the ability to say slurs?

    Maybe free speech is bad then.
