They get overrun by the local threats the USA may have been able to help with? I mean, there's obviously nuance here, but you aren't using it either so

Don't waste your time. This user has gems like:

Liberals in America are just right wing anti-communists, they’re not leftists at all. As for Bernie, social-democracy is the moderate wing of fascism and that’s why he supports Biden’s genocide.

Both parties are evil because this is an evil country that must be stopped.

But I’m quite serious about hating America. No one should be president and we should do everything possible to make that a reality.

And told me that Russia is less corrupt and authoritarian than the USA. They ran away from that conversation once facts were laid out.

Ah, a tankie... has someone let in the hexbears again?

Actually I went to work and your post required too much to respond during a bathroom break.

I'll get to you this afternoon!

Looking forward to it. Especially where you'll come up with 6 million deficit in domestic murders akin to the Stalin Regime.

Or what compares to being imprisoned for 15 years for a blank protest sign or publicly opposing the war in Ukraine.

The USSR doesn't exist anymore

Also, here's a life sentence for weed

You brought up Stalin yourself in the conversation. Why suddenly cherry-pick date ranges now? Besides, Putin openly wrote in an essay how he wanted to go back to those good old days. With Rasputin-like friends like Dugin, no need to go back to the USSR to see that the Russian Federation yearns to go right back to that.

Yep, that sucks.

Russia is still worse.

Local threats the US created 🙄

Honestly tho. ISIS was born in Abu Graib, a US run prison. The Taliban was a reaction to the warlords the US funded in the war against the USSR. Hamas has been funded by Israel, a US supported ally, for years. All the alternatives to Hamas in Gaza were suppressed. And this is just the middle east. The same pattern is repeated in South America and East Asia.
