I don't remember UN resolutions authorizing any of these wars. What is this world community you speak of exactly? And no, they don't leave, US is currently occupying a chunk of Syria. US has annexed a part of Cuba where it runs a torture camp. You are either a liar or an ignoramus, either way you should be deeply ashamed of yourself.
@yogthos 😂 Did you see any UN vote approving the invasion of Ukraine? Also, they have not annexed any part of Syria. They are occupying it. That's different. They will eventually leave just like they did Iraq and Afghanistan. As for Cuba, they do have Guantanamo but they also still recognize Cuba as the rightful owner of the land. They didn't have the US version of a Russian Duma annex it. That's the part you keep glossing over. Russia ANNEXED part of Ukraine.
Unlike you trying to justify the atrocities NATO commits, I'm not justifying the invasion of Ukraine. I'm just pointing out that Russia isn't doing anything that doesn't follow the precedent that the US led "rules based" world order has set up. In fact, the invasion of Ukraine is directly modelled on the invasion of Yugoslavia by NATO where NATO recognized the independence of the breakaway regions and then had them invite NATO for support. US hasn't left Iraq, and they were forced out of Afghanistan by the people of Afghanistan. They didn't choose to leave.
Olympic levels of mental gymnastics here. You keep on digging there buddy.
@yogthos not to mention, NATO attacked Yugoslavia to stop genocide. Are you advocating genocide? You seem to take issue with the prevention of it.
Exactly the same excuse Russia used to intervene in Ukraine.
@yogthos oh, it was the same excuse. The difference was there was no genocide in Ukraine like there was in Yugoslavia.
wrong as usual
Meanwhile, plenty of evidence of ethnic cleansing happening in Ukraine after western backed coup in 2014
@yogthos I didn’t say anything about Slobodan Milosevic. I said Yugoslavia was bombed to stop genocide. Milosevic was exonerated because they could find no link between him and the genocide. But the genocide was still taking place under his watch and that’s why Yugoslavia was bombed. In that regard, he’s irrelevant. Yugoslavia was bombed to stop the genocide and it worked. In Ukraine, Russia is the one doing the murdering and war crimes.
There's a lot more concrete evidence for the genocide in Donbas that Ukraine was conducting since 2014, but you keep on going.
@yogthos also, there have been no credible reports that Ukrainians were doing any kind of ethnic cleansing or genocide prior to Russian invasions. There have been made-up reports by Kremlin backed groups, claiming Ukrainian genocide. All of which, crumble under any inspection, or attempt to validate its legitimacy.
Literally linked those credible reports in an earlier reply, but keep on going there.
@yogthos dude, literally, the first link you shared was a known communist propaganda outlet that is sponsored by the governments of Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, and Nicaragua. You’ll have to forgive me if I don’t put much stock in the propaganda links you provided.
Oh, I'm sorry I shared something that's outside of your prescribed genocidal empire propaganda diet.
@yogthos lol inside or outside doesn’t matter. Facts matter. And this is a routinely misleading outlet. It’s no wonder you’re clueless about international affairs. 😂🤷♂️
You've amply demonstrated in this very thread that you don't care one bit about facts. Next, you're gonna tell me that research gate is a propagnada outlet. You're a liar and a clown, and everybody reading this thread can see that. Bye.
@yogthos lol researchgate is a repository that houses papers and articles from across the globe. Anyone can post a research paper there. Just because you cherry-picked one full of misinformation doesn’t mean it’s a reliable resource. You’ve already demonstrated a penchant to use communist propaganda. Why would I ever think that any of the other new sources you use would be reliable? 😂 get real. 😆
🤡
@yogthos Ant that's how I know I'm right. You don't have anything left but insults. 😂
Literally showed how every single of your claims is wrong with sources, but you do you buddy.
@yogthos Sure you did. Using propaganda outlets as proof always proves people wrong. And the New World Order is real. And the moon landing was faked. And the Freemasons run the world economy. What else would you like to add to your conspiracy theories list? 😂
Lots of links I provided are mainstream western outlets, but you keep on lying since that's all you've got.
@yogthos Give me one credible source that says there was no genocide going on in Yugoslavia when they were bombed by NATO. Go on, I'll wait. 😂 Just to be clear, I didn't ask for one that says Milosevic was absolved. I said one saying there was no genocide occurring when NATO bombed them.
I mean even wikipedia admits this, I love how you keep pretending that your lies are hard to prove
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legitimacy_of_the_NATO_bombing_of_Yugoslavia
@yogthos Oh yes. Wikipedia. The bastion of truth and accurate information. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/wikipedia-founder-larry-sanger-democrats-b1885138.html
@yogthos The best you've got is Wikipedia, eh? LOL And, clearly you didn't read it. It provides zero verbiage that indicates genocide was not happening in Yugoslavia. And don't get me wrong. I'm never a proponent of war or bombing, but acting like this event is somehow precedent for what Russia is doing in Ukraine is ridiculous. The US and NATO are not perfect. But they've always worked to prevent genocide, unlike Russia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crimes_in_the_Kosovo_War
Without genocide there would be no NATO. It's first leaders were rehabilitated Nazis and the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Britain, Belgium, Italy, Spain, etc, etc, are only what they are today because the committed one genocide after another. The first four of those occupy land that they stole and retain via genocide. Some might say it's the only thing NATO knows. Which might explain why it's willing to sacrifice Ukraine to try to fuck with Russia.
@redtea oh look… another Russia apologist that hates NATO. Who saw that coming!?!?
NATO has never worked to prevent genocide, and NATO is responsible for massacring people on an incredible scale with over 6 million people killed in war on terror alone. NATO invaded Yugoslavia unilaterally without an UN authorization. These are just plain facts, and you are a deeply dishonest individual who got caught lying repeatedly. I've got nothing else to say to you.
@yogthos There you go again acting like military action without UN authorization is a bad thing when Russia could give two fucks about what the international community thought when they decided to invade Ukraine without UN authorization and then commit a bunch of war crimes. But you go on acting like you have the morally superior hand in this debate. 😂 Russian troll.
@yogthos Did NATO and the US cause this too? Pretty sure I can find an internet source that "proves" they did. 😂
