Quote: “The decision to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine will be an entirely just and legitimate response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. It will send the right message to all would-be aggressors around the world: attacking another state does not pay off; it makes the aggressor pay. I encourage partners to move quickly on relevant legal frameworks. This year, we must achieve tangible progress toward using frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine. We firmly rely on G7 leadership on this matter.”

    lmao one that was a republican government, they obviously dont care. Also that was because it was before 2015, before mainstream democrats had to pretend to care. Suddenly the PR machine that the US suddenly cared about gay rights really shifted into high gear too. I was trans back then too and a lot of people are looking back with rose tinted glasses.

    The number one killer of gay and trans Palestinians is bombing from occupation forces.

      Oh, so you don’t actually have any examples of the thing you’re decrying, you just thought it sounded nice to conflate LGBT advocacy with justifications for US imperial conquest?

      I think we’re done here.

        I literally saw an Israeli soldier holding up a pride flag acting like the ethnic cleansing they’re doing in Gaza is somehow in support of LGBT people less than a month ago

        The US has done nothing but demonize its enemies for their lack of support for LGBT people- ever since a panel of unelected people in robes decided that they were going to do the bare fucking minimum and Obama “evolved” in his second term. I’m not going to support the fucking war machine just because you’re fearmongering about “enemies” abroad.
