Seriously though, the USA is virtually always bad.

      I‘m open to discussion. I don’t believe China is committing a genocide or that Russia’s “aggression” had nothing to do with the US. Do you have arguments/sources refuting this? Also they responded to what you had to say, it’s already a discussion. If you can explain why OP is wrong, then do it.

            The only moral justification I can think of would be that Russia must be a great power, so it’s morally good for it to fund forcefully expand it’s sphere of influence.

                  The primary reason for the invasion was NATO encroachmemt and threats of Ukraine joining NATO. This prompted an invasion because the Russian Federadtion has border disputes with Ukraine, which it would have no recourse to address if Ukraine joined NATO as then conflict would or at least very seriously could lead to nuclear conflict. Essentially, they’re settling long standing border disputes that have been ongoing, and which the US/NATO have been heavily involved in creating conflict.

                  The US has been setting up Ukraine a proxy battlefield in its larger conflict against the Russian Federation. The US does not have access to extract value from Russuan territory like it did before Putin and a coalition of national bourgeois allies kicked out the US collaborating bourgois of the Yelstin coalition. This is the source of conflict between the US and the Russian Federation. The US as the global imperial hegemon presides over a system of extraction and exploitation of the imperial periphery. US state enemies are all nations that have refused to submit to this system.

                  I’m not claiming any moral justification, I’m not claiming support of the action. But that’s the rationale that led the Russian Federation to invade.

                  I am a communist. I do not support the capitalist and socially reactionary government of the Russian Federation. But i do have a degree of critical support for the Russian Federations struggle against US hegemony. This statement applies to other nations that have non socislist governments but struggle against US hegemony and therefore often trade or support socialist states, such as Iran.

                  I don’t support the governments of the US any NATO country, Ukraine, or the Russian Federation. I support the international working class of all these countries which did not start nor deserve this war, or any other perpetrated by the ruling classes. I want this war to end, and people to stop dying.

                  The main reason that this war continues is the insistence of the US whose “aid” is prolonging the war and killing more Ukrainians who do not need to be dying. The US has been playing out its battle with Russia, and has been discplining its NATO “allies” who were becoming energy independent from the US by trading with Russia.

                  I oppose the US and its aims primarily because it is the global imperialist hegemon. As a communist i oppose this global system of capital and any defeats to this system are of benefit to humanity
