Trump said the forthcoming operations to take over Iran's oil infrastructure, and its oil and gas markets, would be similar to U.S. actions in Venezuela.
It’s such an incredibly childish way of thinking. These people grew up with “Russia bad, Murica good” propaganda, had their minor awakening as they realized the US weren’t in fact the heroes they’d been taught they were, but never actually bothered to unpack the underlying assumption that the world is made of heroes and villains. So instead of figuring out that actually all forms of imperialism suck, they just swapped the heroes and villains in the fairytale because it’s more comforting to live in a world that has unambiguous good guys and bad guys. They want to have a team that they can cheer for and screw it if reality doesn’t agree.
Ffs, I forgot this is social media and the average intelligence is room temperature. Of course, Russia is bad. The point is that there is no fucking outrage when the US declares they’re just going to take an island. In case of Russia’s invasion we had 24/7 rolling coverage and breaking news banners on all news sites
The US being bad does not change anything about Russia.
If your brother murders someone it does not change anything about the fact that your dad raped someone.

Sorry, what?
Well, nobody believes that they will do it. TACO
Where is the outrage?
Are you not outraged?
