  • The west did nothing to stop the nazi Poland invasion. Did nothing to stop the Chekoslovakia invasion before, or the Denmark and Norway invasions. Did block anti-fascist assistance to spanish civil war. Did nothing when a still demilitarized pre-nazi Germany fashioned fascist militias as state security officers.

    The west literally sat by watching the WWII unfold while eating popcorns until they were kicked out of Dunkirk.

    Some historical background back when Poland was the border nation instead of Ukraine. 1939 anglo-french-soviet negotiations fail to the joy of Hitler. In may Poland was a huge security concern for all of Europe. Hitler wanted to secure it’s eastern flank and Stalin vice-versa, while UK and France struggled to find a way to deliver the promised protection to their ally Poland. It is easy to blame the URSS for allying Germany, but the fact is Poland would’ve fallen anyways. Famines, political persecution and the Manchuria war had the Soviet Union in a very unstable situation at best. UK and France had little offer to secure Stalin’s left flank. We all now know he needed help there, and a lot of it. Allying the enemy is not a rare course of action at all, only this time backfired spectacularly. Still to this day there is no agreement on why Hitler betrayed it’s ally in that precise time. He did came close to winning the war (and subsequently the world war), but instead it accelerated his demise.

    1939 was obviously a very uncertain time politically and there is no point in blaming one single country for causing a world war. My point is to compare it to 2025 and realize today is actually as dangerous as it was back then, if not more since now the nuke spice is available in the world wars kitchen.












  • I hope you don’t see me as a war fuelling supporter 🥲

    I may understand better now the confusion and polemics here. This meme might not be the best choice for this topic. While the upper face means refusing to see the good way, then the bottom face implies deliberate wrongdoing, which of course is an obvious journalism work.

    My point in the meme was the hypocrisy of criticizing others while denying our own involvement.


  • Well tbh, I also hate agreing to disagree. Discussion is the civilized solution to conflicts, although it provenly takes a long time to make sides understand each other.

    Nobody knows about everything. As long as the discussion is backed with sources and non-repetitive arguments both sides benefit from it, even when not reaching a consensus.

    Often I realize heated arguments even when both sides have really similar believes. Coming back to the meme’s topic, I’m sure you don’t see our western mainstream media as fully honest and non-biased journalism. Not that chinese or russian media is any better (far from it), but I believe autocriticism is an essential requirement for a healthy democratic society our foreign ministers brag about.

    Please, be more accurate with your statements. China is committing genocide at home (which is terrible) and supplying components, which applications include i.e. war drones for Ukraine war, in other words fuelling the war.

    On the other hand the west is supplying plain ready to use weapons, ammunition and war vehicle parts. Not only that, but also the crucial military intel necessary to hit the targets.

    Although one can argue the outcome will be the same, results show a much higher civilian casualty percentage of 83% in the Gaza war.

    There is a substantial difference in the battlefield between fuelling, arming and committing.



  • Did you read your own words? So, the west isn’t… but Russia and China is…? Such a colonial lecturing mindset if I may say.

    So how are ordinary chinese more complicit than you? You both pay taxes which fund the wrongdoing. Furthermore, we don’t live in a control freak state with no civil rights like them. At least we can denounce what our governments do.

    I hope we agree in that point. It doesn’t make arming genocide any better if it’s committed by our allies. Thanks to that today is more dangerous than even the Cold War.
