There's a lot of newly found natural resources in southern and eastern Ukraine. It's funny how the same "imperialists" are always the butt of the joke while there's an actual, massive imperialist war of conquest happening right now. E: testing if editing federates this.

Yes, Russia's imperialist war is also bad. But what makes you think that the US and France aren't practicing imperialism too, on a much wider scale?

What I'm saying is the timing on these memes about past European imperialism make them look absurd with what's happening in Europe right now. All the countries listed in the meme are helping a country fight back an imperialist, expansionist warmongerer.
