It's kind of funny seeing these kind of comments on Lemmy and playing the "alt-right or tankie" game before you see someones instance.

huh, i see comments like yours and i think "lib moron" and then i don't give it another thought.

Maybe you should stop plowing into other countries yourselves, you bloodthirsty psychos.

No the message to other dictators is ‘be useful to us, or else’

that it sends a message to other dictators

What message is America sending to the dictators that we bankroll while they perform genocide using US equipment and training?

won't just sit back and let them plough into another country

Do you think the west has a genuine interest in consistently enforcing this or do you just not care when people you like do it?

Only white countries though, when it comes to black people and brown people you don't give a rats ass, there's still dictators all over the world that none of you even give a s*** about

That's fine but why are they banning socialist parties, integrating fascist paramilitaries into the army, and privatizing land? That all seems a little familiar.

Yeah we've really cultivated a lot of prestiege on this one, the west definitely hasn't absolutely embarrassed itself and unified large swathes of the world against it. And hey, it only took like three rounds of sabotaged peace talks and and multiple generations of Ukranians fed into a big novelty Northrop-Grumman branded meat grinder.

it sends a message to other dictators around the world that we won't just sit back and let them plough into another country,

You mean like the collective west did to Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya? Who's supposed to send the message to our dictators when it's time to stop?

we won't just sit back and let them plough into another country,

only WE plough into other countries USA! USA! USA!

You could say the same thing but with putin sending the message and it would be more acurate.

For some people, everything has to be a conspiracy. Logical, easily verifiable reasons for things can't possibly be the truth to them. Especially if it comes from the opposing political party, it is automatically false to them. Even if verifiable.

Honestly I wasn't sure of the benefit either, but your response makes so much sense. I don't know why there always has to be conspiracies for obvious stuff.
