Lemmy "leftists": THE USSR HAVING A STANDING ARMY AND USING IT AGAINST NAZIS IS IMPERIALISM
Also Lemmy "leftists": WE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE GLORIOUS EUROPEAN FREEDOM ๐ฆ ๐ฆ ๐ฆ ๐ฆ GIVING MONEY TO LITERAL NAZI TANK MANUFACTURER RHEINMETALL
What are you on about?
"We need to throw cash bricks at rheinmetall. Yes, I'm a leftist"
If you're trying to draw a comparison between modern Europe (or even modern Germany) and Nazi Germany, don't. You're only revealing your ignorance. Or you know it's inaccurate and you're doing it anyway in bad faith.
Unless you would have every European nation surrender to russian imperialism, which you seem to be trying to excuse in your previous comment. If that's the case, then go away.
Putin is a fascist. The Soviet Union died over 30 years ago. Supporting modern russia doesn't make you edgy or a leftist, it makes you either an idiot or a troll.
"Not supporting your nation's military apparatus is synonymous with helping the opposite empire"
-Every state propaganda in WW1
You'd have to be extremely ignorant to believe that opposing European defensive capabilities isn't simultaneously helping the russian agenda.
And what of the French in WWI? They didn't get to choose peace, although I'm sure many of them would have preferred it. It wasn't an option for them when their neighbor invaded. How foolish would it be for a French person at that time to say "No, don't fund our military!"
Assuming you're merely ignorant, and not actively spreading propaganda for the kremlin, people like you have the luxury of remaining so ignorant precisely because other folks sign up to maintain the defense forces and the industries that support it. If they went away, suddenly you would be having some serious problems which wouldn't afford you the luxury of pacifism; only by then you wouldn't have a fighting chance in hell to repel the adversary's invasion.
So be grateful someone is out there deterring those conflicts, so that those conflicts don't come home to roost in your back yard.
What? Did russia invade itself? You said they are using it against nazis, but they've just been bombing innocent civilians.
Also, "USSR" saying the quiet part out loud? Lol
After the friendships and understanding pact, yeah I know. I know you're a nazi apologist, but that's not a good thing.
A genuine thank you for this reply, I will need time to read it thoroughly.
E: I need to add, I am not saying the soviets were nazis. Modern russia, under putin is fascist however
