    He wants isolationism in Ukraine and extreme interventionism in Panama… The thing they have in common? Imperialism. Imperialists help other imperialists, then go on to do a little imperialising of their own.

      Come-on now, imperialists were all about helping Ukraine too. Proxy wars with client states to deplete your enemies is pretty much imperial 101.

        Who is invading whom, again? Russia are the imperialists here. They could leave at any time. Everything that is happening to Russia, they are doing to themselves. Nobody in Europe or the US gives a shit about taking control of Russia or its land. They just want Russia to stay the fuck on its side of the border.

          I’m telling you your fundamental premise is flawed. Imperialism isn’t an ideology that finds allies in other empires just because they’re both imperial. Go on Reddit and look for comments about how funding Ukraine is the best military investment they could make if you don’t believe me. You’ve got imperialists on your side too ya know.
