    First of all, in no way am I defending the US invasions of the Middle East. Shit was bad and unnecessary.

    The people who lied to you about those wars are telling you today’s war is totally a good one. Why would you believe them?

      I don’t like being painted as someone who is told what to think. I do not think the Ukraine war is a “good one”, there are no “good” wars. I simply empathize more with the victims of imperialism and not the perpetrators of imperialism.

          That’s a challenge rating impossible. I see libs do this constantly. Invasion=imperialism for them, i think mostly because like you said, they want to use our words to sound more left wing even though they don’t know what they’re saying
