What a shitheel. They're trying to justify imperialism with realpolitik, but they're not even doing a good job of it. The third option is that other countries help out Ukraine against a crazed imperialist. It won't be easy, but right now, Ukraine retaining its sovereignty looks actually likely.
The way that comment is wrong on so many levels is very indicative on their general stance towards everything. They must get very surprised when they occasionally pop out into the real world and experience how nothing corresponds to their ideas about it.
Like they'd be the only people in history to reject clear and incontrovertible evidence. Self-delusion is the human condition.
It makes me feel like humanity as a whole will never achieve what it should, no matter how much time passes. No post-scarcity utopia, no interstellar travel, none of it. And all because there's a part of us that rationalises and delights in causing pain to each other. Sad.
Something I don't understand how people can correctly identify NATO propaganda dismissing war crimes and western imperialism... and then immediately turn around and uncritically consume Russian & Chinese propaganda dismissing war crimes and imperialism. Do these people have any actual moral positions or are they just contrarians?
For people who claim to be so anti fascist, they don't know shit about the history of appeasement with austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland.
