You are right on every account in that tiktk reblog tags, except for one thing. Putin maybe didn't veto humanitarian corridors, but he sure did shell them. Several times.

Oh. I knew he'd sabotaged them somehow but I forgot how. Hard to keep track of all his war crimes. I didn't mean to imply that he was better for allowing one, just that he knew how to play the optics better, which is what I meant by "how is Biden WORSE at spinning a narrative than Putin". I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I was giving him any credit whatsoever.

Also I started out by saying that the previous Israeli governments colluded with the US and conceded to ceasefires so that they could pick civilians off one by one while the US played up their PR by playing the mediator. I meant that context to be carried into Putin's actions too but I realize that wasn't obvious. The man only tries to look like he's playing ball if it serves his agenda better.

Imperialists are all like that tbh. If you want to know the difference between a fascist and an imperialist, it's that the fascist thinks too small.

#also i am so sorry for having to hear the constant comparisons to ukraine #from so much of the pro-palestine left #yes victims tend to be humanized more if they're white #but it overlooks the fact that it would still not have mattered if putin wasnt an enemy of the west #that's what separates ukraine from palestinians. y'all happened to become victims to the political interests of opposing imperialists #none of these people give one good goddamn about what happens to the countries themselves and the people in them #y'all are all just pawns in these fuckers expansionist colonial agendas and their sympathies are all just as fake #it breaks my heart to see people who are suffering the same way under the same power structures to be pitted against each other #as though there's only so much empathy and moral conscience to go around #i really hope the blowback against the biden administration for palestine doesnt sabotage the single good cause the US has backed since WWII #it's like usamericans think the only two choices are imperialism or apathy #asks #wintersmitth #war in ukraine #putin #free palestine #imperialism #knee of huss
