I think we could all use a good refresher. Also, why do the neighbors on the left now have to leave through the back gate to Egypt and still report their comings and going to the neighbors on the right?

Well you see, the neighbors on the right were a people without a land and once their neighbor leaves they will have found a land without a people

Generally, the people posting this sort of thing also support land back or some variant of it, and will be on the side of the indigenous population in any dispute with western colonizers.

You mean Europeans. They took the continents of Noth and South America from the natives.

…they then left and a whole different bunch of white people turned up to live in the land that had been recently been stolen from the indigenous Americans.

You’d have thought that the indigenous Americans would have tried to take their land back in the time between the Europeans leaving and the Americans turning up but I guess not.

Weird how the Europeans left and Americans showed up…almost like the Europeans just started calling themselves Americans.

Yup. You guys haven’t stopped colonizing. Neo colonies are a thing even if you don’t like to admit it. It’s funny you don’t want me to judge you by the atrocities of your ancestors, yet you guys still treat my people like savages

This is more apt than the russian version of this meme because Israel literally builds wall bubbles like this in the west bank

Worse than the settlements are the fenced roads going to the settlements.

They build a settlement 20 miles from you but the road crosses your land? Well now you’ve got to travel 40 miles to get to the other side of your field 100 yards away.

What’s that? They built another settlement on the other side of your land, and then built a road between the 2 settlements? Now you’re surrounded by roads with fences you can’t cross.

I mean before the invasion Russia was building walls and moving them forward overnight to slowly take territory. It’s not entirely off base about Russia.

Nato is a group of independant, mostly democratic states. Nato generally doesn’t kill people, because it doesn’t attack, does not do genocide and most relevant for the meme, it doesn’t redraw state lines.

If Nato would do several of those things, you might have a point, please prove me wrong.

Also the second pic is ridiculous. What even do the Nato-emblems mean? It cant be singular bases or single memberstates. So what is it? And what about russias allies, why arent they painted/highlited? If one would want to show the big allies, the BRICS+ states could be marked. But like this, the second image is worthless.
