So let me get this straight, a group of people overwhelmingly wish to separate, and the government tries to prevent them from doing that, and you don't think that's imperialism? I bet you don't feel the same about separatism in Catalonia, Donbas, Kurdistan, or the Zapatistas. Classic tankie logic: imperialism good when done by purported "communists."

Do you feel the same about the people of Donbas?

[-] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

Uh, yes? I don't support the blatant invasion and warcrimes by Russia but I can recognize Ukraine has a fascist problem too.

Wait, do you support Donbas self rule or not? Are they not allowed to invite their ally (Russia) to support them militarily in a war of aggression by their neighbor, Ukraine?

[-] CatholicSocialist@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

I very clearly am saying I support Donbas but Russia has taken it too far and has become the larger aggressor.

[-] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

How should Russia have defended their allies, the DPR and LPR without attacking their aggressor's supply lines?

Can you think of any wars in which both participants didn't attack least try to attack military supply chains?
