Show me the numbers, liberal. Post your source for that wild claim.

Ukraine war ALONE is over 350,000. The one that Russia started after telling lies about training operations.
Russia is a murder and lie machine. Russia’s primary exports are murder, lies, and nuclear terrorism.
who has Russia nuked
Putin has threatened to use nukes as recently as this year.
Are you defending a dictator who threatens to start a nuclear holocaust?
You’re counting both sides but then blaming only Russia lol? Hard to take that seriously. Give us Ukrainian deaths, preferably only civilian deaths, and then we might have a conversation.
That would be the United States actually. Especially the last thing since Russia has never nuked anyone and America has.
You know how US Republicans like to claim that they are the party that ended slavery?
If you have to dig way back in history to make your point relevant and ignore everything that’s happening in the present day, your point is stupid and your mental stretching looks ridiculous.
I don’t have to dig back very far to find US atrocities actually. The Afgan war ended two years ago and was one of the counterpoints brought up to you.
But the idea that the United States is acutally better today than when they dropped the bombs is rich. At least we were nominally fighting fascism then.
ETA: OK so if by “nuclear terrorism” you mean… the mere act of having nukes and the implicit threat of using them. America has nukes too. Today. In 2023. Or is it only nuclear terrorism when bad country has nukes?
Putin has threatened nukes. Biden has not threatened nukes.
America was fighting a fascist enemy, not against fascism itself. America practically invented fascism.
There are no limit of ways to criticize the US, but it’s slowly, marginally getting better. The US is slowly progressing.
Russia is getting worse.
You dont need to say the words “I threaten nukes!” to threaten nukes. Thats the whole point of mutually assured destruction. Merely having nukes is nuclear terrorism.
Well we agree on something lol.
The US is demonstrably getting worse on trans rights, an issue I assume’d you’d care about.
And its definitely not gotten better about imperialist power projection overseas.
Very much and on the STATE LEVEL, some states are taking right away. On a national level, trans people have never been so socially accepted before, and it shows. Trans people being out has never been higher.
Now in your precious Russia, your life is at risk just for being under suspicion of being gay, much less being publically trans.
State level for now . And those states are like half of them. The GOP is gearing up for a genocide, whether they’ll be successful I don’t know. But all my trans friends in the US are scared, including those living in Blue states. All of them wish they could get the fuck out of this country.
Stop this. Its a ridiculous strawman and I have stated that it is not my opinion multiple times. Russia is a hellhole in many ways and its record on queer rights is one of them.
My favorite part is saying that Russia exports “Nuclear terrorism” when saying that Russia is worse than… the only country that has dropped a nuclear bomb.
Yeah, that really was the cherry on top of the
Sunday.
