Russia is a fascist reactionary dictatorship. Just because they oppose the US doesn’t mean everything else they do is good as well.

fascist
how?
reactionary
yes, unfortunately
dictatorship
every country is a dictatorship of one class over the others
So Russia is technically in the G5 ;)
It feels so good to see the west wane and by its own accord. No one invaded or bombed or colonized the west, they are destroying themselves by themselves.
btw Russia is not in Europe. Europe is a term for the EU. Russia is now Asia.
Russia is as much a part of Europe as Pakistan is India. don’t give me the geography excuse because it’s the Indian subcontinent too
Europe itself doesn’t exist, it is just north west Asia.
I prefer western eurasia myself, though i respect your choice too of
What is a “Europe” anyway? On what basis do we decide that Europe is its own continent separate from Asia while India is just a subcontinent?
On what basis do we decide that Europe is its own continent
It’s not a continent, or even a subcontinent, it’s just a place
And Russia is not part of that place
Bro really thinks he lives in a garden 💀
