The state of Russia has existed longer than that of the US, with the same imperialist tendencies going eastward toward the pacific.

What is this Putin apologist garbage?

The people being brutally murdered don’t care about their murderers’ morality and aspirations

This really is a meaningless statement without perspective. A Mauretanien slaver killed at the hands of their slaves doesn’t care about the morality of the murder, even if it’s justified.

You might not notice this, but your argument boils down to “the evil empire was nice to me for a bit which made it good.”

Considering Russia’s continued stance on LGBTQ, and to a lesser extent China’s (though I believe this is improving), I’ll take the US’s evil empire hegemonic influence over the latter in that matter.

EU’s the best power but the weakest of the big 4 and fairly young / recent.

No one should be justifying the imperialist actions of any hegemony, but hating on the US because it’s the hegemony on the decline, ignoring the actions of the other imperialist nations, is a weak take.

Low empathy for this group that overwhelmingly voted for this.
