> Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, all within the very recent history, plus countless more US-backed color revolutions - including the one in your very own country, which realistically is the very reason for the current state of affairs in there.

Oh God! You and your conspiracy theories are annoying. If the U.S. is so powerful, why hasn't it organized a color revolution in Russia or at least in Serbia, maybe in pro-Russian Hungary? I was at both revolutions in Ukraine and I know why they arose, they were supported by the Ukrainian people, self-organized. And it's been like that all through our history. You don't know shit about the political situation in Ukraine and its history, but you think you have it all figured out. I'm sure you don't even know your own history. So don't talk bullshit!

yeah, things like McCain hanging out with the Euromaidan crowd in 2013 is not enough of a smoking gun. he just did it as a private citizen, same as he did with Syrian rebels. he was just quirky like that, right?

>If the U.S. is so powerful, why hasn't it organized a color revolution in Russia or at least in Serbia, maybe in pro-Russian Hungary?

you conveniently left out Belarus and Kazakhstan, who had attempts to do that literally the last year. both crushed with Russian help, which is probably the reason why Loukashenko is so friendly with Putin now

as for why they don't do that in Russia, why, they did manage to do that before. they even bragged about getting Yeltsin reelected on the cover of the Time magazine. the guy who oversaw a default, a defeat against Chechnya, and selling away the Soviet wealth to the emerging oligarch class for pennies on the dollar. not sure if the Russians are thankful for that help though

I know enough. you've had an equivalent of Jan 6, funded and armed from across the Atlantic. we just don't call that an insurrection when its convenient to us, just like we don't call the guys with swastika tattoos and flags "nazis" when they serve our interests

I see

I hope you won't use pnpm and we won't speak again.

As much as you disagree with it, posting it on twitter to harass and get your followed to dunk on that person is not acceptable. https://twitter.com/ZoltanKochan/status/1511638290608308228

Also please do not misunderstand, people mention the US acts in order to point out the hypocrisy shown, not to justify the invasion.

ah, I was wondering why did this comment chain get flagged so long after the fact

I don't intend to, and yes, hopefully we won't

> Trump, the only president in recent history who did not start any wars

All of this "Trump is the ambassador of peace" rhetoric may almost convince you to forget that 90% of his electorate are gun-crazed maniacs.

yeah sure, 90% of 50% of eligible voters in the US are gun-crazed maniacs. and still, his record is minus one war, unlike every other president all the way back to... shit, I can't even tell without looking it up. I wasn't even around the last time there was one.

Reagan I think. That being said this is likely because he served only one term. Obama bombed Libya on his second term.
