China’s armed forces secretly trained about 200 Russian military personnel in China late last year and some have since returned to fight in Ukraine, according to three European intelligence agencies and documents seen by Reuters.

    It’s incredible that you could frame a literal imperial invasion of Ukraine by Russia as everyone else being imperialist. It’s just completely ignorant and has all the energy and logic of a trump decree.

    Russia and the Soviet Union has a very long history of imperialism and colonization and, if that sort of thing bothers you, you should be critical of Russia.

      Ussr wan never colonialist, in fact they tried to help Korea Vietnam, Afghanistan burhina Faso against imperialism.

      Russia was faced with tho very hard decision. Act as an aggressor now or wait to be invaded later. They would have been portrayed as villains either way so they took the right one

        Who tf would want to invade russia, and why? There’s nothing but shit there, to a degree that not even all russians can tolerate it, and move out. Even the nice areas that russia has historically invaded have all turned to shit.

        No-one likes you guys, just deal with it and stay in your country. If you feel you need more land, just look east, you’ve got plenty of bog you already own over there, no need to be expansionist little shits.

          First of all I am not Russian. This proves how limited you are

          Russia is the jewel of the crown for western imperialism. The country is not only resource rich but it has a lot of geopolitical influence.

          I see you are into propaganda but next time try harder because this one does not stick

            A wannabe-russian then, that’s somehow even worse! I strongly suggest you go and visit that ”crown jewel” then, I dare you. I have had the opportunity a couple of times and can tell you nothing gives you better view of how things are over there. Though I can only imagine how much more absurd things have become in the past few years.
