Global Events & Politics Überthread

The Chamberlin Squad. At least they issued a clarification to their embarrassingly naive letter.

Should we compare the level of atrocities between Putin and Hitler or are you guys going to go straight to Godwin’s law?
 
I don’t know. Let’s list the things the US has done over the years and evaluate.

Comparing anything to Hitler/Stalin/mao is embarrassing


And who in the Libertarian party supported any of that? Because thats who I vote and support. Neither Dems or Reps have clean hands when it comes to atrocities.
 
No doubt you think Putin and Irans leadership are also legitimate. We have always supported helping people get away from Russian influence. We do the same with China. Excuse me for not being against that. We support regime change in Venezuela as well. No doubt you support those "coup" attempts. Ukraine had elections in 2014. Funny how you call this a coup in Ukraine but would support an angry mob ousting Joe Biden followed by a new election here.
 
I dont disagree with that. I am just fine with Ukraine wanting to be a part of the Western alliance and not be a puppet state of Russia. The results are a severely weakened Russia and we didnt even need to use US troops to do it. I hope it leads to a "coup" in Russia too. No doubt you hate that idea too.

I think everyone should hate hte idea of a coup anywhere because you have no clue what the alternative would be.
 
The AOC optics from that night forced the hard left to do something at the risk of losing their feeble support

Indeed. Those protesters did more for peace than anyone in our government.

The only thing to make AOC act is humiliating her on social media. Her first interest is in protecting her celebrity brand

For the first time in 6 years you actually have a good point. Still, I insist, Putin is bad and I will take my chances with the next guy.
 
I dont see people critical of Joe Biden falling out of 10th story windows. Putin was a nobody when he took power. He consolidated his power by having the FSB bomb residential areas so he could blame it on terrorists.
