Russia will be my enemy until they stop shooting cruise missiles at my friends.

I’ll never understand how tankies started simping for a fascist oligarchy, an Islamist theocracy, Hindu ultranationalists, and a fucking hereditary monarchy.
China, okay fair enough, that at least is in line with tankiedom.

Imperialism is when America but NOT anyone else, dummy!
That said, it’s always important to not fall into nationalist mindsets in general.
These are not mutually exclusive fortunately. As somebody who also has friends in Ukraine I agree with others that Russia is very much an enemy.
The recent video of the 5 year old girl breaking down sobbing when she sees her kindergarten has been destroyed by a missile is proof enough for me. Someone had to choose that as a target, someone had to approve it as a valid military target and someone had to get in a plane with 200kg of explosives in a missile and actually release it towards the target. That’s three people who could have stopped this and chose not to because all they want is to kill the people they have been told are the enemy.
We decided as a species after 1945 that “I was just following orders” is not an excuse we would ever allow again.
I might not be a soldier of politician but I can tell what evil is when I see it and I will do what I can to hold them accountable.
Слава Україні, Слава героям, смерть ворогам.
But Ukrainians did that to themselveeeeeees! Don’t you know?
I argue with tankies all the time and they unironically think this
Keep in mind that when you describe a country, you are usually describing the government, the system of rule, and thus the ruling class. Sure it’s not your ruling class, but it is a ruling class. So you still can’t trust them.
Then there’s evidence of interference with politics as their ruling class tries to bring your country down to advance themselves. Thus making your local ruling class even worse.
We can have two problems.
I’m something of a lefty myself
Russia is my enemy though.
Every commentator that disagrees with my point of view is also my enemy
