What Putin is doing today is belligerent, wrong, and evil. Yes, we must negotiate with him. But make no mistake about who is right and who is wrong in this crisis.
@McFaul Has the Russian government ever done anything beneficial to humanity? Is it true that we are demanding the release of Navalny?
@CosmicWitz @McFaul Uhm. Yes. When the Soviet Union existed. Since then? Not really.
@SkipTown45 @CosmicWitz @McFaul One admirable thing is they showed us that if we work together we can actually end homelessness. Another is providing aid to countries across the globe. An example would be China which it helped out a LOT. There's also the fact that it managed to stand up against the US Empire.
@AlphaclassARC @SkipTown45 @CosmicWitz @McFaul The only country without homelessness is Japan. US gives BY FAR the most foreign aid—300 BILLION in 2020; Russia gave 160 MILLION. If standing up to US means snatching other nations against their will, I’m going to have to give you that.
@mango4242 @SkipTown45 @CosmicWitz @McFaul I'm not talking about the present. I'm talking about the Russian government during the USSR. Also China has more or less eradicated homelessness.
@AlphaclassARC @SkipTown45 @CosmicWitz @McFaul Untrue—China has millions of homeless. And millions of Uyghurs in concentration camps. USSR?? They were not giving aid—they needed aid!
