Ukraine–the county literally being invaded by Russia–is an imperialist, war mongering tyrant? Get the fuck out of here with this slop. Could’ve just left it with the main flags, but throwing Ukraine’s flag in there is legit braindead Chinese/Russian trolling.
If the US is running the show then yeah it’s definitely imperialism, we’ve very clearly succeeded in mongering up a war there, and I do recall some pretty unambiguous reports of the current regime in Ukraine directly suppressing opposition parties and suspending elections
Ukraine isn’t imperialist; it’s a vassal of US empire.
How would you come to that conclusion?
Its government came to power as a result of a US-backed coup, for starters.
edit: For the record, I upvoted you because your question is fair and valid if you don’t know the history and context of the situation. And the western media where many people understandably (if sadly) get their information from will never provide that history and context. That is why we get these confidently ignorant people coming into threads like this gobsmacked that anyone can deny what they see as the obvious truth of Russia’s “unjustified invasion by a foreign aggressor.”
“How can they not be a Good Guy if they’re fighting a Bad Guy!”
Liberals continue to get there politics from capeshit.
Chinese/Russian trolling.
Just openly admitting that you see all foreigners as interchangeable villains.
Any open war is an absolute worst thing any country can do.
And by opening a conflict, it makes the other side automatically looking better. Irregardless of any history or precedens.
Specially if it drags for years. Just go back and let it be.
An open war is absolutely not even close to the worst thing a country can do
What is?
Uh, what? Look at the context of this post, jackass. The meme is trying to portray Russia as a misunderstood good guy while everyone else is evil. I agree with most of the evil flags being there rightfully, but Ukraine is literally defending itself from unjustified invasion. Jfc, it’s crazy this has to be explained. Just look at the entire history of Russia’s aggression and bullying of Ukraine and try to tell me with a straight face that they’re unjustified in defending themselves from a foreign aggressor.

The flag of Russia isn’t even in the meme, “jackass.” The flag of the USSR is, though sadly it hasn’t existed for a few decades now. Like most clueless liberals happily drowning in propaganda, you are falsely equating modern capitalist Russia with the USSR.
And that’s not even getting into the fact that even modern Russia (whose flag appears nowhere in this image, genius) was wholly justified in entering the civil war that had already been ongoing inside Ukraine on behalf of the eastern regions of Ukraine whose civilians were being slaughtered by the Ukrainian government’s militias. But I admit that it’s hard to keep a straight face when talking to someone who uses NATO buzzwords like “unjustified foreign aggressor” because I keep having to facepalm.
Begging liberals to stop thinking of the world in terms of “good guys and bad guys” like overgrown toddlers and start looking at things in terms of cause and effect like adults

No it doesn’t, you’re strawmanning

You think being invaded automatically makes a country good?
Seriously? The ussr and russia are completly different countries with a different political and ecenomic agenda the meme is by no means supporting the russian federation, it is supporting the ussr.
Yeah not sure what Ukraine is doing there, clearly a troll. But not even the Soviet Union, China, US, UK all the other does not excuse them from their atrocities. They are all bad, it does not matter if a Communist or a Capitalist is oppressing you, oppression is oppression. Trying to excuse your oppression by referring to the other side does it too is not a valid argument. People deserve freedom not subjugation
They are all bad
Good job, that’s exactly the understanding and framing that the Council on Foreign Relations wants you to have.
Trying to excuse your oppression does it too is not a valid argument.
Nobody is making such an argument.
People deserve freedom not subjugation
Ok then, that was always allowed.
Yeah not sure what Ukraine is doing there, clearly a troll.

Uhuh

Whoops, forgot I was on and ml instance. Don’t try to be reasonable in an ml instance
Libs already hate Arabs and Muslims so I would be surprised if any had anything positive to say about Saudi Arabia
You’re assuming libs apply their racism consistently rather than in whatever way immediately suits their interests. “How can you accuse me of hating black people, I loved Obama!” -countless libs.
Libs like dunking on Saudi Arabia for doing the exact same thing their own countries do.
The tides are changing, I see. Or the Americans are asleep, lol.
Or you’re in an .ml community which has a larger proportion of people who agree with the sentiment in this meme than lots of other instances.
Plus some people who don’t share those beliefs have probably blocked the instance, so there’s likely that bias too
Even then, even then… but perhaps you’re right and I’m being too optimistic. 🥲
What was originally below the Saudi and Argentinan flags?
in what world are ukraine and finland empires or anything like that?
Because this post is a propaganda in itself :-( “east bad, but what about west; west is bad equally” type of bullshit.

The west is just as bad or even worse than the east.
British empire, America attacking countries yearly.
It is just western propaganda that the west are the good guys

Do you think the author of this meme is calling the DPRK an empire?

Liberals will levy spurious accusations of awful things at socialist countries while ignoring atrocities of US aligned countries whose atrocities are both real and orders of magnitude worse than even the accusations.

No that’s quite literally the current example happening right now. You are the person the meme is depicting. You are acting it out word for word like a reflection in a different medium.
fake atrocities
