    ah yes, support for western expansionism, which is why the op comic doesn’t criticize the US at all

      Supporting a Democrat-led expansionist proxy war causes the criticism of Republican-led expansionism to fall flat. But that’s actually a pretty great representation of the fickle morality of liberals, so maybe I’m being too harsh.

        or, people who oppose these also opposed biden’s expansionism and you’re just strawmanning… I guess we’ll never know.

          This isn’t a strawman. The Putin reference in the comic is a straightforward support for Biden’s narrative to justify the proxy war.

            There didn’t need to be U.S. political justification for U.S. to support Ukraine. U.S. supported a democratic nation getting invaded by an authoritarian nation… as it should ALWAYS do. That’s one of the things that makes it the shining beacon on the hill.

              The US overthrew their government in the 2014 Maidan Coup, and installed a far-right puppet regime to fight their proxy war.
