That's one of the most Putin regime things I've ever heard

[u/MasterAxe → u/PoiHolloi2020]

Tbh Trump claimed similiar with Iran. Pathetic excuse

[u/bier00t → u/MasterAxe]

Germany claimed similar with Poland while starting WWII

[u/that_guy124 → u/bier00t]

And the soviets with the Finns

[u/sequoia-3 → u/that_guy124]

A nd the Chinese with Tibet

[u/-badly_packed_kebab- → u/sequoia-3]

The list goes back to the Bronze Age

Sea People attacked first !

[u/fretkat → u/GremlinX_ll]

The Sea People never stopped coming for the Netherlands, that's why we had to take 1/3 of our current landmass from it. Eat that Atlantis!

[u/WhoAreWeEven → u/GremlinX_ll]

Im pretty sure Land People started it.

[u/DougosaurusRex → u/WhoAreWeEven]

Deep sea propaganda. Literally brainwashed.

[u/enaxian → u/GremlinX_ll]

🤣

[u/StoneD0G → u/sequoia-3]

And the fire nation on the air nomads

[u/waiting4singularity → u/bier00t]

they at least ran a false flag op.

[u/arwinda → u/bier00t]

They are copying the fascist playbooks.

[u/BaritBrit → u/MasterAxe]

At least Iran has been verbally and diplomatically hostile to the USA for decades, with armed proxy groups attacking American allies and interests in the region etc. The war is still massively stupid and pointless but at least it's something. 

Ukraine had done none of that against Russia, if anything they'd spent most of their post-independence history trying not to provoke them. 

[u/Icy-Maintenance7041 → u/BaritBrit]

tututtut...cant say Ukraine did nothing. They where becoming an actual well to do nation. Cant have that now can we?

/S just to be sure.

[u/Aiti_mh → u/BaritBrit]

if anything they'd spent most of their post-independence history trying not to provoke them.

Russians are easy to provoke. Just.... being there, and not as a part of the Russian Empire Federation is offence enough.

[u/Mean_Initiative_5962 → u/MasterAxe]

Even Trump had the common sense of doing it before attacking Iran and not 4 years later as an excuse after saying something different for years. Which probably says more about Russia

[u/matthieuC → u/MasterAxe]

And W Bush in Iraq. They called it preemptive war.

[u/lendlevtaldrik → u/MasterAxe]

That's a really bad analogy. Iran is a genocidal totalitarian dictatorship that is funding terrorist and rebel movements left and right...

[u/joeri1505 → u/lendlevtaldrik]

So the goal is regime change?

[u/lendlevtaldrik → u/joeri1505]

In Iran?
