Russia examines 1991 recognition of Baltic independence

[I.AM.PIFF]

I am biased for sure but Russias aggressions are limited to the Soviet bloc. They haven't fukked with imperialism outside of that in centuries.

Yes, but it's still imperialism and they've often been foreful in dealing with their neighbors or even inside their country.

Yeah I guess you're right but in my mind Americas incessant need to dominate the globe vastly overshadows Russia's indiscretions. The world isn't right when there is only one superpower that can dictate life for all others. At least when the Soviets still had an empire there was a checks and balances act going on in global politics. Now its one sided and you're either part of the cool kids or you're getting sanctioned for double standards.

I'm Russian if that explains anything. I'm not pro-Russia. Im pro-USA but I do point out the massive hypocrisy and double standards that the US plays with Russia. Its glaring and 88's running thread on all things Russia just constantly makes me shake my head at the ridiculous propaganda from both sides.

The Soviet bloc is over and has been for some time trying to revive it at the cost of today's independent countries is totally unacceptable. Propping up Assad, Saddam, Ghadafi, Iran, and by proxy who knows who else don't count?

Russia is running around like the Legion of Doom and should be called on it.

Russia is still invading sovereign countries and usurping land. One could argue that Russia invaded Ukraine for oil and manufacturing.

Should the US be judged solely on how they bully their neighbors?



No one on this forum thinks the US is some glimmering ray of righteousness.... I'm just saying we need to call a spade a spade.

What sovereign countries are they invading? Georgia

Last I checked, the US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan and put boots on the ground in Libya.

Why hasn't Russia taken Ukraine like you said in the Russian thread?

Do you know who else propped up almost all of the people you mentioned? The US.

You really want to have a PROXY discussion when the US is the utmost leader in this field?

This would be like Americans complaining about the death penalty in Saudi Arabia

Let's be real, there is no way the US would tolerate Russia meddling in Mexico the way NATO meddles with the Baltic states.
