An 8-panel Phoebe Teaching Joey meme.
The first panel is Phoebe from Friends saying "Russia".
The second panel is Joey from the same show replying with "Russia".
The third panel is Phoebe saying "has invaded".
The fourth panel is Joey repeating back "has invaded".
The fifth panel is Phoebe saying "Ukraine".
The sixth panel is Joey repeating back "Ukraine".
The seventh panel is Phoebe saying the completed phrase "Russia has invaded Ukraine".
The final panel shows Joey proudly proclaiming "NATO just started a proxy war".
I mean, I protested in the streets against the Iraq war voted against the administration that embarked on it, so I'm not too fussed about your nonsense.
I'm not sure how setting the expectation that every big country ought to be able to invade every little country is an improvement here. That's what you're saying, right? "The US did something bad, so Russia should be able to do something bad too, no fair!"
No, I'm saying we should take a look at what led up to this invasion so that it doesn't happen again. I'm also calling out the hypocrisy I've seen.
How do you suggest Ukraine should avoid being invaded again?
In this case it would've been avoided by the US not staging a coup and trying to cut Russia off from important oil and gas markets (which make up its largest exports).
Ah so Ukraine can avoid being invaded by ensuring its government is always pro Russian and its people are always buying Russian products?
Being pro-US and always doing the bidding of the US is how countries avoid being invaded or having a coup done in their country by the US. Guess that's just the nature of imperialist asshole nations.
If imperialist asshole nations are bad, then the fewer of them there are, the better. Qed.
