President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called on Ukraine’s partners to create a legal framework for the use of frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine.

Quote: “The decision to use frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine will be an entirely just and legitimate response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. It will send the right message to all would-be aggressors around the world: attacking another state does not pay off; it makes the aggressor pay. I encourage partners to move quickly on relevant legal frameworks. This year, we must achieve tangible progress toward using frozen Russian assets for the benefit of Ukraine. We firmly rely on G7 leadership on this matter.”
lmao, yep, you caught us, it’s token US support of LGBT rights that makes things worse, those poor ‘enemy countries’ had no choice but to murder LGBT folk in response.
The level of implicit racism and xenophobia in stripping non-Western institutions of their moral capacity to do evil independently is fucking insane. But of course, the same people who cry that the US is the Great Satan are all too often white supremacists of a different stripe - only white people have moral agency according to them.
It’s actually seen in intelligence circles as a great tool for recruiting informants.
The issue isn’t with “supporting” anything, the issue is trying to make that the fucking excuse for doing Imperial conquest. At least republicans just say what they’re fucking thinking instead of dressing it up to look less ‘bad’
lmao, remember when we invaded Iraq under the pretense of ‘LGBT rights’?
Oh, wait, we didn’t? Almost like the opposition to US token advocacy of LGBT rights and blaming anti-LGBT violence in anti-Western countries on it is just an outgrowth of ‘US Bad’ without any deeper thought put into it, regardless of how many LGBT people are harmed by your knee-jerk reactions.
lmao one that was a republican government, they obviously dont care. Also that was because it was before 2015, before mainstream democrats had to pretend to care. Suddenly the PR machine that the US suddenly cared about gay rights really shifted into high gear too. I was trans back then too and a lot of people are looking back with rose tinted glasses.
The number one killer of gay and trans Palestinians is bombing from occupation forces.
Oh, so you don’t actually have any examples of the thing you’re decrying, you just thought it sounded nice to conflate LGBT advocacy with justifications for US imperial conquest?
I think we’re done here.
I literally saw an Israeli soldier holding up a pride flag acting like the ethnic cleansing they’re doing in Gaza is somehow in support of LGBT people less than a month ago
“I saw an Israeli soldier holding up a pride flag”
Stunning.
I mean it was being promoted by their official twitter accounts, I know that Israel is actually garbage for gay rights, dw
The US has done nothing but demonize its enemies for their lack of support for LGBT people- ever since a panel of unelected people in robes decided that they were going to do the bare fucking minimum and Obama “evolved” in his second term. I’m not going to support the fucking war machine just because you’re fearmongering about “enemies” abroad.
