PINT of Stella. mate!
Many, many Scotches
While I was opposed to the Iraq war it could at least be said that Saddam Hussein was a ruthless dictator who had a history of invading his next door neighbours and had used chemical weapons on his own people.Because the USA has never invaded another country without good cause right???
Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky on the other hand is a 44 year old former comedian and TV personality who was democratically elected as head of a country who have no history of seizing the territory of their neighbours.
Meanwhile in the White, Red and Blue Corner we have Vladimir Putin. A renowned ruthless dictator who has in the 22 years he's been in power done the following.
- Invaded the independent nation of Georgia
- Invaded and Annexed Crimea
- Engineered a separatist insurgency in Ukraine that has had the collateral damage of thousands of deaths including the 298 passengers and crew of Flight MH 17 -27 of whom were Australians!
- Has routinely had opposition figures assassinated - often violently, sometimes by poison and he's not kept that shit contained within Russian borders either.
- Is widely suspected to be behind the bombings of several Moscow apartment buildings in order to engineer public support for further military action in Chechnya and help catapult him into the position as successor of Boris Yeltsin.
- Has provided full support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad who has been accused of using chemical weapons on his own people as part of one of the most brutal civil wars in this century.
- Has been in charge of widespread asset theft and redistribution of national wealth to his own pockets and that of his closest supporters - to the tune of Trillions of dollars.
- Has engineered campaigns of hate against the LBGT communities within Russia
- Is in charge of giant internet troll farms who have been proven to be acting in widespread disinformation about everything from the US elections and Brexit to COVID.
- And last but certainly not least, he still thinks a man can be taken seriously when he's rocking a comb-over.
Any 'What-About?-ism' when it comes to Russia and Putin can go and get fucked! The man is truly a monster.
