You must absolutely never listen to these people on anything, ever. Their sole motivation is Ukraine’s capitulation, and there is no amount of Ukrainian suffering they are willing to oppose in order to get there. Russian suffering for them however is an unacceptable escalation.
OTD in 2014 the Russian attack of Donetsk airport began, lasting 8 months and destroying the airport.
The EU punished me by approving Nordstream 2 a short while later. The message of appeasement was noted.
No society of a country waging an aggressive war has ever received as much empathy as russian society has. The excuses for why russians aren't responsible for the multiple invasions their govts launch are endless: historical trauma, repression, disinformation, etc. No amount of..
As Moscow burns, remember those who fretted about nuclear escalation because Ukr struck an antiradar system. Remember also how the Biden admin in 2022 fell for the manipulation that Ru will existentially defend the Ukr territories it included in its constitution.
До кінця цього року Україна мінімум удвічі наростить атаки углиб росії.
Те, що росіяни вбивають людей у житлових будинках, не допоможе їм.
Срана росія буде горіти. Більше і більше.
i'm not ukrainian, but it really hurts me to see the growing anti-ukrainian sentiment and the things being said about ukraine here, seeing how many people would rather defend russians instead of the victims and attack ukrainians online is just really heartbreaking
I was blocked for one day for writing that the Russians' Tuapse is burning because they're bombing Ukraine and attacking us. I'm going to talk about this because I spent nine months under Russian occupation. Those were the most terrible days of my life.
Da @ZackPolanski. "Putin never threatens genocide" Instead:
-Deportations
-Killing civilians & targeting infra to set conditions of life calculated to bring destruction of 🇺🇦 & 🇺🇦ians
-Rhetoric
-Forced adoptions
-Arrests for speaking 🇺🇦
-Forced change of citizenship
Not threats!
The "shock therapy killed mlns" narrative is inaccurate, exaggerated, and manipulative. Russia did "shock therapy" for less than 1yr. Poland implemented it fully and recovered quickly. The main finding of 1990s research is the countries w *partial* reforms had the worst crises.
Hasan doesn't mind imperialism as long as it's not AmeriKKKa doing it. He always makes blood and soil arguments for Russia invading Ukraine. Russia is morally indistinguishable from Israel.
He's just lucky Ukraine unlike Gaza, is not a pet issue of American leftists.
Comparison from comrade @jeremycorbyn on Ukraine & Iran.
-🇷🇺 forces "enter" 🇺🇦, 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱make "illegal attack"
-🇷🇺 excused cos of NATO. 🇺🇸& 🇮🇱are "rogue states"
-🇷🇺created a "crisis" & offered diplomacy. 🇺🇸& 🇮🇱"endanger us all"
One of the most perverse geopolitical takes I've ever heard is that Putin sincerely wanted peace in March 2022 only to be foiled by the dastardly Brits and Yanks. Anyone who repeats this arrant nonsense should never be listened to on any fucking topic ever.
