Propaganda ---> government approved news
invasion -> intervention
The US has done some bad things foreign policy wise, but none have come close to what Russia is doing in Ukraine right now. Even in Vietnam or was like 1/10th the amount of deaths, and that's after over a decade of war vs Russia in a few years. Not to defend Vietnam cause that was ridiculously stupid and cruel. But Russia is in fact taking it to a new level in both regards.

Communists, go live in Russia if you think America is so bad. I will take my good quality of life in capitalist America over any communist shithole all the live long day.
Communism is only good for impractical fantasy ideas and authoritarian shitholes. Prove me wrong if you can.
You just don't get it!
People in the Lemmy bubble are smarter and have more self control than anyone in history!!
They can make it work!!
