Yep, Russia stole third of Ukraine and tries to pretend it's a part of their country not because they're doing colonialism, but because... um... nothing I guess, it's not happening actually. All the Ukranians just deciding to die of natural causes there.

you genuinely don't know what colonialism is

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Colonialism is when a country I don't like does a thing I don't like somewhere else. Imperialism is when any country attacks any other.

There, who needs books when it's that simple, tankies?

Colonialism is when two countries have a war

It's only Colonialism if it's from Colonial region of the world, otherwise it's sparkling war with the exploitative and/or genocidal purposes, and then it's OK if it's the country that I like. You wouldn't understand, lib.

It's real cute how you can just infer the genocidal and exploitative purposes when it's an enemy of the US, but you're a Russian disinfo bot in the pocket of China when you point out at the many examples of US proxies going "We think they're lower than animals and we're literally gonna exterminate them and their children"

Hey, let's compare definitions.
In my books, it's when a big country tries to take some land, usually rich in resources, murder those parts of local population who disagrees with that, and make the rest into a workforce, taking all the resources into metropolis.
Now, given that, what parts of Russian relationships with Crimea, Donbass, and Lugansk regions don't fit this definition? Well, apart from the fact that Russian military force is a military farce and they fail at all their plans except one when they murder local population.
Or do you think attempted colonialism doesn't count? Because it's not for the lack of trying, you know
