        That’s true, the USA is even more disruptive currently.

          In the mind of the USAian liberal, this is also because of Russia. Things used to be great, but now they’re bad because the foreigners are controlling the president.

            In the minds of anyone with a passing understanding of Russian foreign policy can absolutely see they have their hooks in Trump and you would have to have a significant deficit in logical thinking skills to believe otherwise. That being said that only accounts for some of the war, violence, and agitation the USA is involved in.

      ??? No different than Russia? HAVE YOU READ THE HISTORY OF THE U.S.? THERE ISN’T EVEN A SIDE OF COMPARISON RUSSIA LOOKS LIKE THE LAND OF PEACE COMPARED TO THE U.S.

      I suggest you read “Endless Holocausts: Mass Death in the History of the United States Empire”

            [Video] LA cops force their horses to run over protester

            If anything, it’s US cops learning from the cossacks, whom tsar always send against people when police was not enough. Running over unarmed people with horses was their favourite tactics.

            Well you see they shot some monarchists and that’s equivalent to murdering tens of millions of brown people somehow.

                Buddy I’m already on team “Fuck the Tsar”

                A bloody Civil War to end monarchism is not equivalent to what the US gets up to on a regular basis for the sake of making capitalists richer.

                  The capitalists in Russia aren’t exactly sitting on their hands either. I’m on team “Fuck the Capitalists” no matter where they come from

            From 1917to 1922 between 7-12 million Russians, mostly civilians, were killed. This includes hundreds of thousands of Jews killed in pogroms (genocidal race riots). The Red Terror involved Bolsheviks conducting executions to wipeout political dissent and any threats to their power. The White Terror involved a collection of conservatives, monarchists, and proto-fascists executing communists and genociding Jews. This doesn’t count people who died in forced labor camps, which by some accounts saw a 10-20% fatality rate per month. There were mass rapes and looting wherever the several armies went. It’s been described to be as close to Hell on Earth as it gets. Between WWI and the Russian Civil War, the total population fell from around 170 million to 134 million.

                If that’s what you call a “Land of Peace”, I don’t think your opinion is worth much.
