Putin came to power in… 1997? So almost 30 years. In that time, the invasion of Ukraine is I think only the second or third time Russia has attacked another country? The other two are Chechnya and Georgia IIRC, and both of those were quite a bit complicated (and the former was only like a few days).

Impressive… very nice… now let’s see America’s card.

Seriously, America is poised to attack as many countries just in the first half of 2026 as Putin has in nearly 30 years.

The US only overthrew a few european governments (Italy, Greece, Russia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Georgia). Not enough for them to care.

Yugoslavia

FYI literally nobody in ex-Yugoslavia believes this, not even the most hard-line "yugonostalgic" leftists.

It's not about believing or not. I'm from an ex-Yugoslav country. Why were all of the leaders pro-US and supported by them during the civil wars? You could argue that was the only alternative, but getting foreign support during a separatist war means things. If we are talking FRY and the 2000s protests, what do you think bombing civilians does and do you know the background, training and backing of the organization behind the protests (Otpor)?

Again, I'm sure a lot of them are glad they got US support and such, but pretending the US (and Europe of course) didn't meddle into internal politics during Yugoslavia and had a considerable influence for it's downfall is just not true.

I'm pretty sure at this point the world is just 12 corporations in a trench coat and the rest of us are on the fritz.

Who in sweet crystallized Christ fuck is telling you the US isn’t screwing the globe over???

Like, as a USian I know and hate what this country is doing and at least here I haven’t seen anyone really claim otherwise. Maybe in Zionist havens like major social media but you’re posting to a tiny choir here.

"Biggest threat" is not "one and only threat". We're well aware of what the US is.

And I guess the parts of Africa where Wagner and other figleaf mercenary groups are most active are conveniently missing data.

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Why do they exist there? Please elaborate the historical context.

Both are dangerous for different reasons, I think. But USA is worse.
