      The neighbor would just be missing from the Americans.

      The Israeli family’s neighbor’s yard would be on fire right?

      By recent events are you referring to events following the Russian backed fascist takeover of the US government?

          Did I say it absolves us? No, I’m pretty sure I didn’t.

          Reply: US just did some bad shit too!

          Me: Russia contributed to that as well!

          The topic of the post is Russia. I said nothing to implicate or excuse the US.

        Gonna blame Trump and Maga on Russia now? Own up to the fact that at least half the USAians are assholes.

          That’s a both situation. Trump and MAGA have known and heavily suspected long standing connections to Russia. And it’s well known that the US is full of selfish spoiled pricks.

          I’m responding to Russian whataboutism deflecting criticism towards actions that Russia also had a hand in. Russia didn’t create MAGA, but they sure as hell helped fund it. That’s relevant.

    A good over joke would be to include all the one doing colonialisme now. Adding US, Israel, I think and African state is have the same treatment too. Maybe China and Taiwan but it seem at an stand still since long ago

    funny. the ones i have from ukraine are literally doing this with the space between our houses. slowly inching a series of small engines, auto repair stuff, snowblowers, etc. would be fine if my bedroom and head was not directly on the other side of the wall.

      hire a surveyor and a trash company while they’re at work, if you don’t defend your property eventually it legally stops being yours.

      they know what they’re doing.

          i’d go tell them as nice as possible, then throw everything away and set up a camera….
          then a fence in the spring.
          but i’m sure you’ve given it more thought than me

        Adverse possession takes at least 10 years in most places.

        Acknowledging that they are using your property and not enforcing your boundaries eventually leads to them being able to claim that property as theirs.

            because the op image references russia and its relationship with its neighbor, ukraine.

            It’s an analogy for Russia invading Ukraine and demanding their land in exchange for “peace”

              Or it’s just an ironic anecdote. It IS kind of funny that a Ukrainian immigrant would steal land because of what’s happening in their home country
