Is this X implying that Zelensky oppressing the Ukrainian people?

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Talking about Russia, I presume

But then what is this enemy of our enemy?

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago

The United States and her western allies

The post is talking about tankies that think because US bad -> Russia is the enemy of the US -> Russia good. Which is obviously asinine

The post is referring to leftists who supported Assad because he was backed by Russia and Russia is hostile to the West.

Enemy (Russia/Assad) of our (tankies) enemy (the west)

Edit: I should say that I'm taking specifically about what the post has to say in regards to Ukraine. IDK that there are many tankies out here supporting Israel.

Yes he fucking is, as is every bourgeois politician, including putin. And don't forget the gratitude HTS expressed towards the Zionists. The Syrian revolution had an immense progressive potential in 2011-13 but nowadays I'm just glad the war is over but at the same time I'm concerned about what happens next to Kurds, since HTS also had a substantial backing from the genocidal irredentist Ankara government.
