LMFAO he absolutely doesn't read any sources, here's 5 hours of dr. Finkelstein exposing destiny for the absolute fraud that he is
Exactly, just imagine if Hezbollah conducted an operation like this in Israel.
Talking about whataboutism is just a way to paper over hypocrisy. It's not a real argument. Then you proceeded to make it crystal clear that you are indeed a hypocrite.
What I don’t understand is why “leftists” like you feel the need to vocally support an oligarch and dictator, instead of being able to say that the war in Ukraine is a pointless waste of human lives for which Putin is directly responsible as the aggressor.
Nice straw man there buddy, cause nowhere did I vocally support anything. What you're being told is that what Russia is doing is no different from what the west has been doing, and that the west is just as responsible for starting and continuing this conflict. Apparently that's just too hard a concept for you to comprehend.
The most incredible part is that multiple people in this very thread tried to explain the situation to you, and you just ignore the facts and continue regurgitating the talking points you've memorized. The sheer anti-intellectualism on display is stunning.

No, I'm saying that recognizing the separatists regions and then accepting their request for help was the common element. It's quite clear that Russia was not interested in destroying Ukraine as illustrated by the fact that Russia tried to make Minsk agreements for for whole eight years. I don't know why you feel the need to continue making blatantly dishonest statements here. You're not fooling anybody.
It's more about nuclear capable western countries doing whatever they want since WW2.
That's been the case since the end of WW2, were you just sleeping this whole time?

UN General Assembly widely supports a Palestinian resolution demanding Israel end its occupation
(abcnews.go.com)
The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution demanding that Israel comply with the ruling of the UN court and withdraw from the occupied territory of Palestine.
The resolution received 124 votes in favor, while 43 countries abstained and Israel, the United States and 12 others voted no.
Magnetic tape turns out to be one of the best options.
It's amazing how people just keep regurgitating these talking points. It's just so incredibly shallow and demonstrates a profound lack of understanding of the situation. There is no comparison with WW2 here. In fact, the best comparison to make would be Yugoslavia where NATO recognized separatist regions as being independent, and then had them invite NATO to invade and destroy Yugoslavia. That's the actual model that Russia is using in Ukraine.

Indeed, Lein's work is highly relevant today. For example, The State and Revolution directly addresses the debates over reformism and the nature of the state that we see constantly happening right now. It's depressing to see all the same arguments replayed as if we don't have historical evidence to lean on to decide which ones were correct.
