Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on March 16 that the United States and Israel had misjudged the prospects of a swift military operation in Iran, arguing that Washington and Jerusalem now understand they were "mistaken."
Russia is honestly the last nation that should talk about anything with regards to this. They have had numerous high profile military failures in Ukraine (a country they promised never to invade beforehand), are stuck in WW1 with drones and an almost frozen frontline for over 4 years now, and suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties and tens of thousands of losses of high value equipment. A bombing campaign in Iran and subsequent Iranian retaliation (for now) pales in comparison to that, though the situation could always escalate in Iran.
If Russia could carry out a bombing campaign in Ukraine like the US and Israel are doing in Iran, they absolutely would. If Russia could do anything materially to hinder the US and Israeli bombing campaign in Iran such as supplying air defence systems to Iran, it would. It’s a question of capability, not of will.
The vast majority of what I see from hexbear is “Russia/China is good because the US is bad,” like it’s some sort of zero sum game where both can’t be bad.
See that’s what I mean by “shut your ears when analysis is any deeper than russian man bad.”
You see people do something other than mindlessly regurgitate state department propaganda and instead of engaging with what they write, your eyes glaze over and reduce it to a simplistic fascimile that you can understand and disregard.
In order to point out hypocrisy you need me to do the thing I critique. So point me to where I have mindlessly repeated propaganda.
authoritarian and/or fascist propaganda.
Authoritarian is a meaningless word, either so vague as to describe every state that exists or so narrow and specific you might as well just replace it with the name of the nation you’re attempting to slander.
Fascism is an actual concept however, and it doesn’t just mean “person who says things I dislike”.
This is the kind of stuff that is actually a “mindless regurgitation”. You have here written words without considering what they actually mean.
That’s why I said that a nuanced take from hexbear is surprising, because it’s rare for any of them to actually admit that Russia has issues.
And this is once again what I mean with “your eyes glaze over.” Go into the newsmega and see how many people shit on Putin. Just because we can actually acknowledge why the war was started and how it’s going doesn’t mean we are Putin-stans.
Which is funny because what you’re accusing me of doing is exactly the behavior people from hexbear and lemmygrad are infamous for.
It’s in the middle but I kept it for the end because I wanted to. To repeat myself like a poorly trained parrot: What a terrible attempt at a comeback that stopped working in kindergarten. If you were actually trying to point out hypocrisy, you might do well to point it out rather than just say things with no base or merit. I can point you to a myriad of posts and comments of people shitting on Putin. I can point you to a myriad of situations where people like you do what you are currently doing - Letting your eyes glaze over because you see someone say something more in depth than “russian man bad”.
At this point I can see where this is going. You will keep returning to “no actually you are the one doing the thing” but without any merit or the ability to relate to the things I write (You still haven’t pointed to where I spouted propaganda) unlike me - See how I’m actually responding to your text? Neat trick where I relate to what you write. You should try it. Your eyes have glazed over now though, it’s too late. So I’m going to disengage and block you. I hope one day your curiosity will get the better of you and you’ll start to actually read what those dastardly hexbears write when they write of the russian man or the chinese man or any other man.

That’s a surprising take given your instance.
Nah, it’s pretty basic for hexbear.
Most of you guys just shut your eyes and cover your ears if analysis of world events are any deeper than “russian man bad”.
The vast majority of what I see from hexbear is “Russia/China is good because the US is bad,” like it’s some sort of zero sum game where both can’t be bad.

No, what I mean is I see people from hexbear mindlessly regurgitating propaganda instead of engaging with what they write.
You know, like what you’re doing now.
Sad comeback, stopped working in kindergarten. What propaganda have you seen me put out in this thread?
That wasn’t a comeback, it was pointing out hypocrisy.
And the way you speak about your instance and how everyone else is dumb and brainwashed screams authoritarian and/or fascist propaganda.
Which is funny because what you’re accusing me of doing is exactly the behavior people from hexbear and lemmygrad are infamous for.
