Russia's Invasion of Ukraine (Official Thread)

[Kokoro]

Nearly the entire black and brown world is with Russia. Are they all fakkits or are they thinking freely and have they not been conditioned by CNN to hate Russia? I await your paternalistic arrogant American response.

I get the sense they’re anti United States/western hegemony rather than pro Putin

Well yeah, but your point can apply to the NATO coalition as well, they are motivated more by anti-Russia sentiment versus pro-US/Ukraine. And don't discount the fact that some African countries retain fond memories of Russia's support during their freedom struggles against Western colonial powers.

The abstain/nay votes are all from the Global South and account for half the world's population. Those were also symbolic, nonbinding votes. When it came to applying some teeth behind those votes and voting Russia off the UN Security Council, even more of the Global South refused to support get behind it. The same pattern will apply in future votes about reparations and war crime tribunals. The African, Arab, and Asian world by-in-large do not care about this war. Idk is Don Lemon telling you CNN drones something different?

I like how you consider abstaining and against the same fukking thing. You know why India and China abstain? Because they are getting oil for fukking pennies. China has pretty much subsumed Russias entire IT market. Only in the mentally ill mind of a tankie is that a good thing.

When the war is over and Russia is thoroughly defeated and has been pilfered of its resources those abstain votes are going to turn into fukk you votes

"we like russia and china because we get to still be dictators"

This is why guys who I look up to like Gerald Horne end up supporting and defending china then still saying autocratic forces are anti minority and LGBT rights

Listen to this interview with Garland Nixon (current/former RT) too.

Had me pissed off to see Horne defending China as if it benefits "Africa" at large while ignoring russia and china doing the same thing he thinks the west was doing only under different flag.

Look, as long as Africa are the beggars and not the choosers, you're gonna keep having this same issue pop up.
