There’s the immediate imperial justification where you have to pretend everyone else is as bloodthirsty as us to protect your emotional attachment to the most demonstrably evil country in history. “If we didn’t do it, someone else would.”
You know you don’t have to do that, right? You don’t have to lie to yourself and us that everyone else would also gleefully incinerate cities full of civillians? You can face up to what we live inside and stop making excuses for the country currently helping carry out a genocide. If the USSR had invented nukes first, the world would absolutely be a better place and it’s not even close.
You gotta give up the addiction to having a foreign enemy to blame for the state of the world. America spent the last 75 years dictating terms to the rest of humanity uncontested, and all the crises we’re currently experiencing are the result of it getting exactly what it wanted.
Are you unaware of Russia’s imperial actions against its neighbors?
Are you unaware of what the words “empire, imperial, and imperialist” mean? Because it’s not “when military force”. Bonus question: why is the Russian Federation (a different country from the USSR, which I am talking about) in Ukraine? And finally, do you somehow think that even the most outlandish stories about the RF hold a candle to our own American evil, in either scale or depravity? Do you think an actual empire currently helping carry out a genocide and disappearing activists is a trustworthy source about it’s geopolitical rivals? Are you old enough to remember the Iraq war?
