Only about 150k Americans seriously wounded in Vietnam.

tbf, most Russian conscripts are not involved in the war - men sign theoretically voluntary contracts in exchange for extra pay or reduced service time to be deployed outside of Russia.

That being said, there's a great deal of coercion that's involved, so while you can resist pressure to sign a contract, it's not unreasonable to think that a significant minority felt they really didn't have a choice.

The very definition of Imperialism (which a lot of world users/admins engage in constantly) is being duped into pushing harder for World War III against Russia and China than you could ever muster to defend 50,000 innocent people being genocided using your tax money.

Apparently Ukrainian people being genocided don't matter.

Remember, it's "American provocation of WW3" when Russia commits genocide, but "To be opposed at all costs" when Israel commits genocide.

Yeah, thanks. I had more brutal pictures in mind, to represent the unjustifiable brutality that happened in Iraq, but that would be fucked up.

Even brutal pics are welcome, as long as anything with death, gore, or the like is marked NSFW.

History is often not pretty, especially when highlighting terrible crimes.

Didn't question the assertion, I asked you to use a site that didn't bootlick genocide, but I guess that was too much to ask.

Also not what moving goalposts means.

Interesting comparison, but could I ask that you edit to use a different source? That's an extremely imperialist apologist site.

Again, you just made this up without evidence. This is untrue. Noah Kulwin explicitly stated Ukraine has every right to resist Putin’s illegal war. Supplying arms for Ukraine to defend itself has never been the issue.

"I don't think America should bankroll [resistance to genocide] in perpetuity"

What, are you illiterate or something? Can you not read?

jk, I know this is all in bad faith, but thanks for proving it.

Again, that’s not what he said. He’s talking about the method the US uses for all of its foreign policy. When it comes to Ukraine, the US has fueled the conflict for its own ends. That’s a fact.

"Resistance to genocide is fueling the conflict!"

Yeah, no, genocide apologia isn't allowed here, and neither are bad faith takes defending genocide.

Weird, it’s almost like there just anti-imperialist regardless of who’s doing it or in what form.

Until Ukraine, apparently. But sure, they managed to critique a conflict 50 years ago while running defense for an imperialist genocide happening today, totally proves they're anti-imperialist. I bet you think supporters of the Iraq War who critique Vietnam are anti-imperialist Americans.

I hope Ukraine stalls for as long as possible, and then refuses. Fuck these fascist cunts in the US.

Most Black German troops were colonial forces - only a few men, like Josef Mambo, served in the Imperial German Army on the European fronts, but most were Schutztruppe in the African theatre of the war.

What exactly do you think there saying is apologia? You don’t show what Noah Kulwin is responding to, nor are his responses incorrect.

Ah yes, when performative leftists sudden become "fiscal conservatives" once the issue of resisting genocide comes up.

Well, the issue of resisting Russian or Chinese genocide, at least.

THEN the dollar value of lives becomes extremely important to campist cretins, for some reason.

Nor is Brendan James wrong about the American Method of the US State Department deflecting criticism about foreign policy.

"The US created/fueled/escalated the Ukrainian War!"

Fucking bootlicker.
