Pretty gross. Comments every bit as awful as you’re thinking. Just a reminder of the abysmal state of non-cishet rights and acceptance in Russia.
Edit: can’t get my screenshot to load properly so text:
T1: Putin on accusations against Russia in the energy crisis: “European countries are big specialists in non-traditional relationships and themselves abandoned traditional energy sources in favor of non-traditional ones”
T2: (“non-traditional relationships” is the legal term in Russia for all things “LGBT”)
Fighting against imperialism is actually just imperialism, if your intentions aren’t pure.
Here come the westoids to divine the intent of nations outside the core and judge them for their lack of purity
Supporting my anti-imperialist comrades in ISIS as they undermine American hegemony
Undermining American hegemony by…destabilizing a region that America benefits from being unstable? Not really the same situation. Russia is actually doing real harm to our ability to maintain a global stranglehold. That is a good thing, even if Putin is otherwise a shitty reactionary capitalist.
ISIS is American-backed imperialist force, and Russia crushed it
Another point in our favor, not yours
