The US only overthrew a few european governments (Italy, Greece, Russia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Georgia). Not enough for them to care.

I'm pretty sure at this point the world is just 12 corporations in a trench coat and the rest of us are on the fritz.
Ah hypercapitalist government Hmm how would that look would maybe someone see that as a threat to all of humanity hmmm
Who in sweet crystallized Christ fuck is telling you the US isn’t screwing the globe over???
Like, as a USian I know and hate what this country is doing and at least here I haven’t seen anyone really claim otherwise. Maybe in Zionist havens like major social media but you’re posting to a tiny choir here.
"Biggest threat" is not "one and only threat". We're well aware of what the US is.
And I guess the parts of Africa where Wagner and other figleaf mercenary groups are most active are conveniently missing data.
You're aware that the Soviet Union doesn't exist any more, right? Like, the Berlin Wall came down 35 years ago, so when you uncritically defend Russia you are actually defending a hyper-capitalist oligarchy with the same economic system as the EU and the US, and not a "communist" opposition to that system (not say the USSR was ever actually communist either).
I don't care what economic system Russia uses. That's their internal matter. What matters to me is that they're the only country with 6,000 nukes, and therefore the only country the US fears. So for my country to be independent, we need Russia to act as a counterweight to the US. (This is also true for many other countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa.)
You’re aware that everyone is aware of that, right? If you’re going to argue with a straw man, at least build a better straw man.
Look at the OPs post history, they post constantly in support of Russia, China and North Korea, as though Russia is in some way ideologically aligned with the other two.
They aren't ideologically aligned (at least for the most part), but they're geopolitically aligned by circumstance.
Sure, but that's basically irrelevant to the point being made in OP's memes.
Also, there is no 'for the most part'. Geopolitical alliances notwithstanding, they are in no way ideologically aligned: I'll say it once more for the people with their fingers in their ears, "Russia is not a socialist state, and hasn't been for over three decades!"
It is relevant, though. They're geopolitically aligned with China and are the junior partner. It's ridiculous to think that they're the biggest threat to world peace
So what?
I've spelled it out twice now, if you honestly still don't understand I don't think there's anything I can say that will make it clear to you...
So what? They're ideologically aligned in being opposed to the Great Satan
Ask GPT what "critical support" means, spoiler: it's not double damage support.
I'm not going to ask GPT anything, because I'm capable of critical thought
“Critical thought” is not how anyone learns what words mean.
I'm already aware of what the words mean, it was a jab at the way that relying on chatbots for information damages people's ability to think.
Yeah the double damage type of thought.
double damage
I'm not the one shilling for imperialists.
Current homework:
- understand what critical support means
- understand the definition of imperialism
-
I actually accused OP of uncritical support (which means supporting someone/something without any criticism).
-
Russia is an imperialist state. The fact that other states are also imperialists doesn't change this fact in any way.
Current homework:
- Ask yourself why you are jumping to the defense of someone who constantly shills for an authoritarian capitalist oligarchy.

No you attacked a straw man.

No you don't know what imperialism is and yes Russian is a capitalist hellscape(thank you USA) but it's not imperialist. Redo your homework
Additional homework:
- research the multiples definitions of authoritarian and answer how any definition is any different than
Ask yourself why you are jumping to the defense of someone who constantly shills for an authoritarian capitalist oligarchy.
Sometimes OP post something relevant or correct but people hit themselves in confusion after too much critical damage thinking.
- research the multiples definitions of authoritarian and answer how any definition is any different than
Who's attacking straw men now? When did I ever insinuate that the US/EU/anyone else were in some way better than Russia? And what the fuck does skin colour have to do with any of this?
The emote is because the use of authoritarian is quite arbitrary the okay ones are government the not okay are authoritarian regimes. Because you called Russia authoritarian, which is yeah is authoritarian like any other country, and the entire conversation is written in libspeak language I'm assuming it's has a bias to that word.
So, you haven't actually responded to what I've said, you've instead responded to an imaginary bogeyman saying different things from what I've said?
Because I never said anything in support of any government whatsoever, so you've basically just admitted to arguing in bad faith. Shame on you for trying to call me a racist though, resorting to insults just demonstrates the fact that you don't have a coherent point to make.
I did respond to what you said about Russia and why I defend OP, you just focused on the emote.
Yeah, my bad, the extremely white supremacist view of the world that anglos has on geopolitics is a more advanced topic, better let that for later, you already have enough homework.
Because I never said anything in support of any government whatsoever
Never said you did, I just poke of the reason to use the word authoritarian.
so you’ve basically just admitted to arguing in bad faith
I'm sorry, I thought it was clear that I'm not arguing in good faith given my extremely condescending writing, but what do I know? Your first comment that started this thread is also extremely condescending. Morons really thinks that how you argue with someone.
