I'm pro-NATO and against all dictators and autocrats. We are not the same.
- Can NATO ever get rid of its own dictators and autocrats? Dunno but it wouldn't be as bad if it could
  
  Call it democracy, but in reality it's just lobbyism.
  
  Especially in Germany and in the US.
  
  That would be amazing and I hope it'll happen. Unfortunately this will probably take years.
  
  Turkey was soooo close, now I’ve lost all hope for them
  
  I don’t think Hungary will get rid of that fucker anytime soon either
  
  There is no process for this.
  
  There is no prosses of kicking a country our if that's what you're thinking. The only part of the treaties that allow a member to leave is if they leave and give a years notice. But it's not possible at this time for a vote on kicking a country out.
- No different from a tankie then. They also have excuses for their preferred governments' atrocities. If you think "dictators and autocrats" are the only evil that exist in the world, I have some bad news for you.
  
  Yeah, the suckage of, say, Germany or the Netherlands being less nice to refugees and farm animals is exactly the same as Russia and China actively committing genocide right now.
They used to practically run the place, is why they're seething so damn hard.

Before the API comedown, the entire All page on most instances was their horseshit.

Thank you all for freeing us from Reddit (and Mastodon).
When was the last time China invaded anyone? Including China here is a baseless equivocation and basically yellow scare nonsense.
- Ask a Tibetan about it, they might have shocking news for you ... 🤦
  
  Tibet, Taiwan, Hong Kong... Vietnam back in the day. Something still going on with India's border?
- Hong Kong...like, as we speak.
- Yellow scare sounds like a very racist term
  
  Nukes
  
  It is a term used to describe racists, yes. Which the vast majority of China fear-mongering is deeply rooted in.
  
  Nukes are the reason they’re the same? India, Israel, North Korea, and Pakistan also have nukes.
- China is a superpower, nuke-holder
  
  China failed and still fails to condemn russia's actions and still see russia as their partner.
  
  Communist countries stick together
  
  China is the only superpower not involved with the current war that remains aggressive towards NATO/US
  
  China has now completely took over Hong-Kong
  
  And they're openly planning to do the same with Taiwan.
  
  All these 6 combined is why china is worthy being next to russia in this meme.
  
  Hey hey let's not call China communist
- Why do you feel the need to defend China? They could have put any powerful country in there really, but there aren't many left when you have NATO and Russia already
- Do we count EEZ encroachments in the Pacific? Only reason why China isn't as militarily adventurous as Russia right now, is because they know they're not ready yet. Not really yellow scare nonsense when China itself (Republic of) is concerned about this.
  
  Do we count disputes over territorial waters as the same as war? Are you actually serious with this question?
  
  The Spratly Islands are China’s Afghanistan?
