    Thats never really been grounds for war in the past.

    Cuban Missile Crisis ring any bells? The crackers nearly destroyed the planet over it.

      Yes, and by all accounts it was an extremely stupid event, but it didn’t start a hot war between the ussr and America.

              Is it counter revolutionary to not cheer a capitalist country invading an even poorer capitalist country?

                it is extremely counter-revolutionary to cheer on a proxy of the real evil empire (united states) and the nazis that fight for it

                  I feel like that’s pretty unilateral way of thinking. America is an evil empire, but it’s not going to be “the real evil empire” for everyone.

                  The real evil empire is the one who most recently killed all of your friends and family. Despite what you say America doesn’t have a monopoly on violence and capitalism, and just because you’re attacking American interest doesn’t make you a leftist ally.

                    how can you say that america doesn’t have a monopoly on violence when it has committed horrible acts of violence across the world for decades (invasion of iraq, afghanistan, etc) with zero repercussions? america has never answered for the thousands of civilians slain by their soldiers.

                    attacking one of the historic enemies of socialism is important for leftists. the united states has spent countless dollars and years fighting socialist movements both domestically and abroad. you cannot be a leftist without being vehemently against american hegemony.
