I hate how “anti-war” has been hijacked by these people to mean, let imperialist countries invade whoever they want with no consequences. (in the case of tankies, any imperialist country that isn’t in NATO).

Wait, why are tankies siding with magas? I’ve been intentionally away for a minute, what did I miss?

Did something major happen in the last three days? Or is this the usual redirection of hate after we’ve found something to rally around?

MAGAts are either too stupid to realize or too fragile to acknowledge that they're getting ass-fucked by putin. It's just pathetic.

Red-painted fascists just can't help themselves. War is Completely Justified Resistance And Blowback until someone actually fights back, at which point it's Pointlessly Extending The Conflict

For the fucking tankies and MAGAts, if the French and King Louis XVI would have turned their backs on the US colonials from 1775 to 1783, the Red Coats would have crushed your rebellion and you would have been another Dominion like Canada. Hang on, someone press reset.

perfectly agree with the meme, that said I've tried to make the same argument to people IRL and their response usually is "well Ukraine provoked them by trying to join NATO" and being the absolute dumbass that I am, I can never come up with a decent answer on the spot.
does anyone have a cool one liner to use or am I stuck with having to explain the various geopolitical issues

And the annexation of crimea was not provoking and pressuring them to search for defense from NATO?

You forgot the person standing to the other side saying, "But what about that time when America...!?"
