Or when USA decides no more free war machines. I also wouldn't call Russia's actions imperialist as everything going on in eastern Europe the Russian response to NATO expansion.
But I guess I'm just a liberal according to the tankies.
Both can be true the same time. The Russian response is clearly imperialist because they consider eastern Europe to be part of their empire and thus fight against another empire trying to pull these now independent countries to their side. But that is IMHO no justification for invading another country, especially when these now independent countries have every reason to be suspicious of their former Russian colonizers.
Well when a 'democatic' state next to yours undergoes a coup orchestrated by western powers at the behest of the global banking system and a bunch of people there call bullshit on it and ask for your help what do you do?
The banks had the western countries force Ukraine to oust their leader who shot protestors which were angry over said leader who made a 180° turn towards Russia?
The coup is pretty well documented in western media. One has to be shamefully ignorant not to be aware of it. https://archive.ph/BAxYc
