    You forgot to add Iran, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, and I think rest of world altogether.

      Fuck off. Some countries have nothing to do with this crap, as it should be for every fucking country.

      Don’t get “rest of world” mixed in there; I mean sure, all governments suck in one way or another, but most of them at least aren’t imperialist.

      Russia has its two ports which Assad signed away for the next gazillion years and Assad himself, who’s a property of Syria, and should be returned to be dealt with accordingly.

      The real concern is Iran, Israel, and the US. Iran is currently using the desperate criminals Assad left behind to cause instability and should be the top priority of the new government.

      Turkey is an alley of the new Syrian government. You can compare it to what Russia was for the regime, but not committing war crimes against most of the population.

      Thinking that the current Russian government is communist/socialist is peak brain rot. It is a nepotist police state with conservative/neoconservative social policy (religion, nationalism, anti-LGBT) and a neoliberal economic policy (capitalism). It’s almost an exact opposite of the ideas behind the hammer and sickle.

      What year do you think it is? Why would the Russian Federations President have a hammer and sickle on his hat? Do you think the United Soviet Socialist Republic still exists? Do you think the Russian Federation uses the Hammer and Sickle symbol? Or is your political literacy so poor that in your mind “Hammer and Sickle = Russia = bad” is the best you can come up with? Not to mention the fact that if you knew anything about the situation in Syria you would know that Iranian and Russian backed forces are being pushed out, and the new Syrian Government is aligned with US, Turkish, and Israeli interests. Not Iranian or Russian interests.

      Stop putting so much energy into defending a global empire that’s perfectly capable of defending itself, and get your geopolitical knowledge updated to this century.

      edit: As someone kindly pointed out USSR is Union of Soviet Socialist Republics oops on that lol. Doesnt really effect the point i was making at all but ya im a bit of a dumby for that one.

        An @lemmygrad user not knowing what USSR/СССР stands for is so funny to me for some reason (it’s the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics/Союз Советских Социалистических Республик). The difference between a united republic and a union of republics is kind of the reason it was so easy to tear apart in the end, any constituent republic could quit the union at any time.
