Putin wages a 20th century war of territorial conquest and ethnic oppression, committing war crimes on a scale not seen since WW2.
It's always such a tell when you hear far-right assholes in the West praise Putin. They would 100% have been Hitler fans in the 1940s.
Putin vs the people of Ukraine is a modern embodiment of the centuries-long fight between authoritarianism and democracy, between military imperialism and self-determination. May Ukraine prevail.
One google search later;A total of 23 M1A1s were damaged or destroyed during the war. Of the nine Abrams tanks destroyed, seven were destroyed by friendly fire and two intentionally destroyed to prevent capture by the Iraqi Army.
Putin himself frames his war of conquest and genocide as a confrontation against the democratic West. He orders his troops to commit war crimes -- torture, rape, civilian murders. Those siding with Putin could not possibly be any more deplorable.
Zelensky embodies courage, determination, and sacrifice in a fight for the survival of his country and his people against a genocidal dictator. The people who mock him and his fight are telling you very explicitly what and who they stand for.
This is one of the best explanations I've ever seen of why the @fastdotai way works.
"In a space where the two questions 'How does this work?' and 'How can it be made better?' are asked repeatedly, curiosity becomes muscle memory."
Thank you @DSaience.

Invading a neighboring country and displacing its people should not be met with calls for compromises and land concessions. The invader's talking points about "the will of the people" should not echoed and legitimized.
Don't know who needs to hear this, but Putin's annexation "referendum" was a propaganda operation and no one should fall for it. Even if you actually tried to make it fair, a "referendum" in a war zone during a war of aggression that has displaced millions has no legitimacy.
Do you want to be dependent on dictators?
Do you want to have your economy held hostage by murdering sociopaths who invade other countries & torture their citizens?
Do you want to destroy the planet, pollute the air & ruin the oceans?
No?
THEN JUST BUILD NUCLEAR ☢️
