I was wondering why you got so heated about a pretty banal comment, then I saw the .ml lol.

Russia sucks dick, the USSR was kinda cool, but its dead and a bunch of oligarchs are living in its corpse. Why are you dick riding a bunch of corpse beetles?

I generally react quite negatively to racism, and I'm happy to hear the instance I frequent has a reputation for doing the same. Cant imagine being proud about ignoring racism.

You would have supported the invasion of Iraq in the 00's. Or operation Barbarossa if you lived back then. You see calling out racist drivel as somehow being supportive of a country. Not reducing complex geopolitics down to childish notions of "they're just evil!" is somehow the same as driving a tank into Kiev. It is with the mentality you display that we saw people take up arms in WWI under the notion that they'd be home before Christmas - after all, it was just the dastardly hun that needed a darn good thrashing.

You're clearly right, ml. Western counties and Russia are equally likely to commit to ground invasions.

Saying anything else would be racist.

Western counties and Russia are equally likely to commit to ground invasions.

I mean, stack the US and Russia against one another for the last 25 years.

Where is the lie?

I think you responded to the wrong comment?

Its not racist to say people from a country suck.

Actually it is. Hating someone based on where they come from is the most basic type of racism there is.
