      I think, in this case, that’s what makes it a shitpost.

      OOP asks a valid question, though. I don’t remember what Serbia did, either.

        The actual answer is ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Kosovo, the former of which was the first post-WWII genocide legally recognised by the ICJ

                If you really were there, I’m terribly sorry. No civilians deserve any atrocities. There’s no us or them, that’s fkn stupid and you know it. I’m not even serb.

            Why did the Soviet Union break up? Why did the Soviet Union collapse? An important reason is that the struggle in the ideological field is very fierce, the comprehensive denial of the history of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, the denial of Lenin, the negation of Stalin, the historical nihilism, the ideological chaos, the Party organizations at all levels have almost no effect, the army is not under the leadership of the Party. Finally, the Soviet Communist Party’s largest party was scattered, and the Soviet Union’s largest socialist country fell apart.

            • Xi Jinping (translated by Firefox)

            Even ignoring the claim of a coup, please explain how you think the USSR collapsing in 1991 is responsible for the ethnic tensions in Yugoslavia that bubbled up years earlier

              Are you dumb? Switching from an internationalist ideological block to a bunch of ethno-state caused war. It’s not that hard to grasp.

              Same thing with Russia and Ukraine. Yeltsin was in Washington the day before the end of gorbatchev

                The USSR was just a Russian empire that pretended to be some international socialist brotherhood. Imperialism is married to the Russian identity and that didnt stop just because the Bolsheviks killed the royal family.

                  Well they got sick of dying for the tsar and immediately afterward the other idiots yanks and Brits proceeded to get peace with Germany and redeployed everything to them

                  They learned from the best. Anyway unlike present day ethnostates they at least kept nationalisms at bay. Are you dumb? You can see how a bunch of ultranationalist shitholes centered around a common identity might be more prone to genocide and aggression than one posturing as internationalist

                  What? Are you an idiot? The USSR had its flaw but it did keep nationalisms at bay. Once it collapsed people became fascists again. What’s not to understand? Murikans were perfectly happy opening mc Donalds while Easterners were starving

                    By the threat of killing you if you disagreed with the USSR’s directives. Plus those satellite countries were meant to provide a buffer to the USSR if another world war was triggered. Better to fight a war in someone else’s home rather than your own. A hard lesson learned from WW2.

                    Putin is pretty much trying to re-establish that buffer while pillaging his neighbors of their wealth. It doesn’t seem to be working well for him.

            It was the death of Tito that threw Yugoslavia into chaos.

            Edit: here is the lovely reply that got removed. I just want these people to be known:

            Who talked to you? You voted for genocide. You’re a sad motherfuker and you’ll die knowing you’re a pos

            Username: https://thelemmy.club/u/yesukwunt

            Since there zero context… I support no genocide, I just hate the people who refused to vote for Kamala Harris because of Palestine.

            Some people would rather lash out at people who would be their ally, than do any inwards reflection whatsoever. It’s sad.

              To be fair, there was an attempted coup in the USSR during its collapse. It was by communist hardliners trying to prevent it collapsing, though, which doesn’t exactly scream “NATO” to me

              Ah yes it have nothing to do with the fact Yeltsin was notoriously in Washington right before the coup.

              They are competent when it comes to bombing serbs with depleted uranium when they did genocide. The (hillarious) justification is that they disrespected UN resolution

              They seems to be very incompetent to do the same to israel despite 50 years of sitting on the UN.

                I was making the remark that Fascists by design, have to portray their enemies as both powerful, and pathetic.

                Russia is fascist, and declares “the west” to be both the great satan who threatens Russkiy Mir and their very existence for which they were forced to go to war, and simultaneously is full of weak decadent coward homeosexual liberals. its the fascist duality

                  Maybe if “the west” is so concerned about Putin they should stop buying him gaz.

                  But why would they do that? They get cheap energy, fund their enemies, and have a good excuse to oppress population into war economy. Win win really
