It was a big moment of radicalization for me when I first became aware that the US was actually the worst side in the revolutionary war, a very great feat of evil considering their enemy was the fucking British Empire.
The Anglo-French war of 1778 with military assistance from the Spanish and diplomatic assistance from the Russians was what helped ultimately cinch victory for the American revolutionaries as it was an opportunity for the other less strong imperial powers to stomp of England's foot and pull out one of the colonial gems from the English crown.
Also comparing the 13 colonies to Ukraine is backwardly saying it's a colonial subject of Russia that's been settled by Russian colonials who eventually developed their own national culture distinct from Russia, backwards liberal ass.
