That's all you needed to say.
Misinformed propaganda fed american

I think if you had read the rest of what I wrote you might have spotted a European.

By where do you stand over Russia? Do you think it's communist? I don't think it's been communist since at least Gorbachev, and it's currently an oligarchy which is about as far removed from communism as you can get, but what's your understanding?

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

obviously not communist.
But by far the lesser evil compared to the US fascists, and their fascist proxy, supported by their semi-fascist EU vassals.
The enemy of my enemy.
The Russia is imperialist and scaremongering about them planning to attack a NATO state is laughable.
It is the western oligarchs and imperialists that are to blame, luckily for the world it has marvelously backfired.

Thanks for explaining your position.

I think we can agree to dislike the oligarchs generally and the power they wield over too much of the planet.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

While that is a generic answer you are correct.
You being from the UK, where people are massively misinformed and propagandised on the level of their big brother USSA, I shouldn't blame you for having terribly wrong opinions on Russia, China or whatever. With the same pseudo -left Kid Starver who is as right-wing as the US fascist-lite Dems.
And the BBC regime mouthpieces spouting horrible genocider and imperialist garbage 24/7.

Where are you from/living?

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Belgium, still shitty vassals but less cancerous and actively warmongering and meddling government than UK.
And no BBC lie factory
