The original post is a piece of soviet propaganda.
Tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union and the modern Russian Republic were/are imperialist powers who conquered and/or exerted economic, political and military power over their neighbours for the purposes of resource exploitation in exactly the same way every other imperial power has done throughout history, including the United States. Russia is currently engaged in a war of foreign aggression over resources.
Denying Russian (or Chinese) imperialism while denouncing US (or British, or European) imperialism is childishly naive.
I feel silly for missing the Russian text on the page the entire time 💀 I thought it was english bitcrushed enough that I couldn’t read it. It’s absolutely a USSR propaganda, it is still so relevant to this past week I didn’t consider it could be older. Yes, imperialism is a problem and needs to be stopped, but I am focused on what has been driving the world into empires for the last 200 years, capital. It inherently promotes exploitation and corruption regardless of government, and allows those who have it to exist above governments that become dependent on it.
Pwease don’t me a meanie weanie about the Wussians who never did anything wrong and certainly never engaged in any naughty impeweawism.
Lol are you ok?
I’m fine. But criticising American imperialism with literal Soviet propaganda makes you sound like a child
Wait, what propaganda? I think we all agree that Siberia is under direct governmental control of the Kremlin and not a sovereign state, no?
