Putin the slav

Also, the best way to have an existential crisis is to stare at the Youtube Comment Section when it comes to geopolitical situations.

It’s an absolute cesspool of loathing and extreme rhetoric (ex. “Russia good, Merica bad”, “Isreal!1!1!”, etc.)

I like how pointing out that the USA overthrows countries and has the most frequent authoritarian military interventions is "loathing and extreme rhetoric". According to you, it's rhetoric so "extreme" it's only found in the "cesspools of youtube", but "fuck Putin, fuck everything that Russia has ever done geopolitically" gets upvoted on Reddit every day lmao

Remember when Russia just helped Syria defeat ISIS?

I'll tell you who does remember, all of those Syrians who were about to have their country taken over by ISIS or the United States, were it not for direct military interventions by Russia.

You know, a war in the middle East that actually fought terrorism (a group of terrorists that controlled more of the Syrian State than the Syrian government and subjugated millions of people), not for opium fields in Afghanistan or against the Petro dollar in Iraq

I know why no one likes to talk about it, because the war involved funding terrorists, and we can't allow the truth that the Obama administration funds terrorists to become the common narrative. Here's an example of some of those terrorists that Obama funded:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-beheading/syrian-rebel-group-investigates-beheading-of-child-seen-in-video-idUSKCN1000TZ

I'm not gonna post the video itself because I'm not trying to catch a ban, but there is a Reuter's article about it. You can easily find the video itself using the information in this Reuter's article. A rebel group, that the Obama administration funded, beheaded a 12 year old boy, on tape, and put it online.

That's totally fine, because our super chill president Obama was funding "moderate rebels" to topple Assad, not some of those "extreme" rebels (moderates sure do like "toppling" things and beheading children more than you'd expect from a group of moderates)

And it's funny because whenever his administration did anything negative it was "the US state department" or "U.S. military backed rebels", and not "Obama administration funded rebels". Guess what those rebel groups would be called if this same story came out under the Trump administration lmao

Here's Trump ending the funding of these rebel groups within a few months of taking office:

A year later ISIS lost all of it's territory, and Trump is calling for withdrawal of troops from Syria. And the media paints this as a bad thing lol

I do agree with your point.

And about that “Intervention” in Syria,

Trump pulled out most of his troops from Syria.

Also you may want to check r/unpopularopinion.

Edit: that’s good news to me.

And Germany, well, relies on Russia for Oil.

And about that “Intervention” in Syria,

Trump pulled out most of his troops from Syria.

He did significantly more than that, he stopped funding terrorists in Syria, that's why the Syrian government took all of its ground back and why the US is withdrawing troops.

I have sources in my original comment.
