And I get that NATO imperialism bad, but so is Russia invading Ukraine. No need to muddy the waters with "the Zelensky regime is illegitimate", Russia fucking rolled their tanks right into another country that did not threaten them. But these shitheads suddenly can't recognize imperialism. Again, outright military invasion, is somehow not imperialism ๐คช๐จ
Can you kindly contextualize the MIC and it's interest in NATO, Mearsheimer (a foreign policy hawk that loves war) saying its NATO agression, Biden joking in the 90s and knowing full well what NATO east expansion would mean, Putin going from friend to foe, Russia's economy after the fall of the SU until now?
Imperialism is when military intervention. The more militarier the intervention the imperialister it is
