(16,184 posts)I oppose election rigging, imperialist aggression, and human rights violations no matter who does it. I criticized Bush for it, I criticize Obama for it, I criticize when Israel does it, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, the UK, the fascists in Ukraine, and Putin.
All I see around here nowadays are a bunch of "anti-imperialists" finding excuse after excuse for Putin's blatant aggression and utilizing all manner of tu quoque fallacy (including, I shit you not, Andrew fucking Jackson) to deflect criticism from Putin and somehow make Crimea all the West's fault.
Just have some fucking intellectual honesty and be anti-imperialist and pro-democracy consistently! Russia blatantly violates international law and human rights, and so does damn near every other country!
