    The image is presumably a Russian PMC in Mali. Same PMC that is known to have killed and tortured a lot of civilians in Mali.

    Camo is russian, weapns are russian, no Flag patches, but a very round and wagner like patch in the background. I say yes they are Russians. Combined with the fact that this is clearly in Mali (tone of the earth and style of the structures).

    So truly thing about this post, and if it makes sense, cuz if one wants to dab on them americans the picture could just show a very high armed american civilian instead of a person that is maybe linked to war crimes.

    You are not immune to propaganda.

        Remember that this com is on .world. Equating Russian an NATO imperialism here is gonna result in a bad time.

        The US is activity and directly trying to invade another nation, genocide their people, and steal their land? I’m amazed I hadn’t heard of this.

            So there isn’t one, and you’re saying Russia is as bad as the US was a century or more ago. If that’s your argument, all you’re proving is that Russia worse.

              Why are you acting as if I wanted to defend Russia?

              Edit: Am I correct to assume that your point is that the US switched strategy. Totally superior, then. /s

                Because you jumped into a conversation comparing the current actions Russia and the US by criticizing US history, acting as if this disproved my point. Now you’re sealioning and pretending that context didn’t exist.

                  I’m still not sure how stating that the US is an imperialist powerhouse who is not too shy to invade and genocide itself (or let its’ proxy states do so) is somehow a defense of Russia.

                  What you seem to fail to understand is that two parties in a conflict can be assholes. Pointing out that one of them is an asshole doesn’t mean that I’m not condemning the other one. Are you gonna ask me if I condemn Hamas next?

      To be fair, the kind of people the meme is making fun of tend to map pretty closely to the domestic terrorists that go on mass shootings because they have to interact with anyone other than a cis white male.

      So the picture being of an actual war criminal kinda works, in a dark way.
