Biden is a lame duck president with NO PUBLIC MANDATE and subterranean approval rating, he got ousted by his own party before the election for being mentally incapacitated, his defense against a Justice Department inquiry is he’s too old and senile, his party just got BTFO in a national election. No NATO or NATO proxies have ever launched long range missiles into Russia in living memory. How is this guy 
fit for office
STOP EATING CRAYONS AND DO YOUR FUCKING JERB. “Senile old man sends young people to WW3 out of spite”
It escalates the conflict because under Russian law it puts Russia directly at war with NATO and opens up more spheres of conflict. The Russians will most certainly retaliate, likely by sending weapons to anti-western groups.
Yes, I doubt this will on its own cause ww3. But playing with fire is dangerous either way.
Russia is already at ear with Ukraine. The Ukrainians firing at Russia with their own weapons is thus not an escalation.
No it is not and it never was. Everybody knew from day 1 that conquering and holding to all of Ukraine would be infeasible and the war was actually about NATO expansion.
Pure ideology. Just speculation. It wouldn’t even be an escalation if this were happening because the western fascists have been sending over their mercenaries and troops to Ukraine for the past 10 years.

Yes they went for Kiev to topple the government of Ukraine and force a quick surrender, as has been their stated aim. It does not mean there would be any possibility of conquering Ukraine and holding it by the Russians.
You appear to be forgetting about the maidan coup, the shelling of donbass and the arming of Ukraine by nato, all of which the Russians have said threaten their national security since Ukraine is literally at their border.
Y’all are commiting a livestreamed genocide in gaza and have slaughtered tens of millions of people at the altars of capitalism since the end of ww2. No need to imagine western fascism.
When will liberals learn what imperialism is? When we say “we oppose imperialism” we mean that we want to destroy the transnational system of capitalist superexploitation of the world’s natural resources and labour by a handful of “first world” nations. Not “we want to reify nations and nation states”.
As opposed to the Americans, who don’t want Ukraine under American control, who haven’t been buying up Ukrainian capital assets for dirt cheap for 30 years now.
I bet my left testicle on you not having read even a single word that came out of the mouth of any member of the Russian leadership and instead just making up all of this headcannon and fan fiction based on nothing.

Thanks for just admitting you are a stupid as shit liberal with terrible intuition and analysis. Ever considered listening to us as we were correct the entire time and never got duped into supporting imperialist genocide?
A revolution from capitalist neocolony to capitalist neocolony?
Assembling empires is the only correct part of your definition, because it happens to be a tautological statement. How can you be an anarchist and use this definition of imperialism, since all states by definition dominate territory? “Foreign” and “domestic” are purely artificial categories and using them only legitimates statist ideology.
The Russian annexation of crimea happened after the president fled, as a response to the coup.
This was done via referendum. As for the rest of your comment, it is mostly just a run down of the specific events leading up to the war, ignoring the geopolitical reasons for why the different actors took the actions they did, instead looking at the events in a vacuum.
Am I right to assume that the previous 70 years of Israeli settler colonialism had no impact on your opinion of how much Israel has a “right to defend itself”?
Which they were already doing with their own weapons and soldiers. The escalation in question is about the use of American weapons, which will likely trigger some kind of (probably not nuclear) response from the Russians, who have the possibility of sending weapons to anti-western militant groups, or to take other actions.
So you have no clue.
See, you have absolutely no clue about anything. Just going with the recent thing, no attempt of learning history. This did not start last year. it started over 70 years ago, by what would become the zionist entity. But that seems too long for you to look into, so you rather tell the ones affected by ethnic cleansing and genocide how they should resist. Can’t have the brown people make you feel bad, after all!
Just vibes based politics.
There is no “right to defend itself” for occupation forces. There is however the right to resist occupation. Your vibes based analysis lead you to the literal opposite of reality.

I did not even talk about the USSR at any point, lul. My post adressed some of the points that went unadressed by others previously. None of these points were about the USSR.
Given your comments up and down the thread and your username, you must have been one of the liberals infesting the place leading to it’s ultimate demise. I hope Cucktin serves you a tasty cup of polonium tea and pushes you out of a window before he also rolls over and dies because he’s also a filthy lib.
