I didn't realize you were both sidesing the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Nor that Russia was doing settler colonialism. Very wise of you.

Are you saying that no Russians have moved to Crimea?

Nor that Russia was doing settler colonialism.

Ah. It's just a good old annexation. That's totally fine.

I'll remember that when my stupid country makes an attempt to annex Canada... Which is not invading their home, because it's not settler colonialism?

So if Putin slaughtered all Ukrainian civilians you'd not be any more upset?

To understand the terminology and why it's important: On 'Arab Colonialism'

...Okay.

First of, of course I would. What would make you think I wouldn't? I'm upset with how many civilians are dying now. And I'm upset with genocides elsewhere.

Second. How does that stop this meme from applying to Russia/Ukraine?

Because third panel wants to live in their house not take over their country

Again. I will remember this when the US more seriously talks up 'taking over' Canada; but not living in their house. Not a crisis of imperialist aggression, by that argument, unless you wish to clarify?
