we are not saying that the west is bad and russia is good, we are saying all racism is bad.
we are not saying that the west is bad and china is good, we are saying all racism is bad.
this can also be applied in South Africa, Israel, the middle east or in Asia (i.e. anywhere).

there is a narrative being told in storytime mode in alot of western countries right now, and it is saying that someone is the enemy. that is not necessarily true, but it will be true if governments continue to use that narrative to make it true.

I agree with your sentiment re: Wagner Group, but its not hard to point to double standards where alot of countries, east and west, do bad things. YOU might say yes but that happened years ago, but my response to that is 2000 years is really not a long time in human evolution, so, unfortunately, the horrors of 100 years ago can still repeat themselves yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Countries are not bad, they just all have bad people, bad moral compass and make bad decisions.

You cant' say that the US has more bad people because it has more people (as a %) in prison, You cant' say that Northern Ireland has less bad people because it has less people (as a %) in prison, they have underlying problems, just like China and Russia have underlying problems.

Political ideology, Culture and Type of Government does not dictate who is right or wrong, nor does it say which is the better country. None of these thing make one country better then the other, it makes them different.
In terms of technology, all advanced countries are experimenting with new technology. AI is here and it is both wondrous and terrifying. I watched that video and I was both surprised, shocked horrified scared of the unknown etc, but that technology, and technology like that is being used in the west as well.

The world is changing and there are going to be major shifts in how things are done over the next few decades. In terms of the conflict in Ukraine I keep coming back to the simple notion, how will this war end, and in no scenario do I see a win for Ukraine, unless its won at too great a cost to have been worthwhile. So you can keep on railing against Russia and China but this conflict is the catalyst for sending the world down a path that no sane person should ever want.

Y i know this one; victimizing...
Maybe you can add some silly self-fuck comment about french people ( like the others posters before) , so it will be fully okay: US Bad, West Bad, Democracy Fake, Both sides, Why not being just rational ? Oh look 30 years ago !

But buttt... Racist ??!! China, Russia, not racist btw...

What does then? Bear with me when im using provocative rhetoric, but what kind of degenerate moral relativist cop-out is that? Of course we are able to judge and discern between right and wrong. I personally believe the West is currently the best place in terms of moral philosophy, and yes, its a thought-out subject for me and i considered my biases. all thanks to our prosperity and WW2 trauma which eventuallt led us to think about human rights. The vast majority of parameters with which we can assess how good life is are in favour of the West. What makes us not be able to comment on political ideology.

I think you missed the point

I say people are racist
you say countries are racist



Its not a competition unless you make it one, thats my point. And to expand on that, competition in this context is leading to direct conflict.

You should stop this trash posting WTF is wrong with you

Seriously

Some facts that were presented:

Ukraine's Bakhmut losses are huge (lists of Ukrainian units that fought in Bakhmut are available)
Russia isn't running out of missiles (Russia running out of missiles is being claimed since April 2022)
Sanctions did not cripple Russia and in fact they're pumping out guns and ammo 24/7

You: Guffaw

Poor effort pal

look, i'm Shrodinger prepared for the special operation (prepared and not prepared at the same time). #3 months. "Shitposter Dishonest Tool Drone" etc...




Who is racist exactly ?

people, not countries.

Peak dishonesty
