That’s a weird way to say “have a bunch of nazis take over and do ethnic cleansing”

Watching movies from the 90s is a trip because its full of casual chauvinist contempt for Ukraine and other former Soviet countries, portraying them as backwards shitholes full of criminals and sex workers. Then the switch was thrown in 2022 and These People Are Gondor, Actually. It’s so hollow, all the rhetoric so cheap and timely. When we finish sucking them dry and discard them, their image will be made that of dour savages who simply hate us for our freedom.

The always-stumbling US empire

Someone at the NYT gets a fatal papercut

We have others if you would prefer

Pointing out that the Democratic party and their supporters insisted we have to do a genocide is Russian propaganda sweaty

So like

If someone claims there’s totally a genocide

Then provides shit sources…

🤔

Bro they CIA isn’t trying to regime change Ukraine, the people there are just legitimately fighting for their sovereignty!

-You in 2014, just before the coup

Of course you don’t, you live in unreality

Yes, it stopped going anywhere the moment you decided to stop it. I brought facts, you brought snide cope and deflection disguised as jokes🤷‍♂️

You have not.

“Israel” has no terms and has offered no peace other than annihilation. Russia has offered peace deal after peace deal for ten years. You know these things are not comparable, and to insist they are for the sake of your pride is to whitewash the zionist entity’s genocide.

If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Maoista are fine with being called Maoists, Stalinists are not a thing

Yeah you’re good🫡

You have an eleven year old’s idea of how and why wars happen, and a fourteen year old’s habit of retreating to moody sarcasm when you realize you’re out of your depth in an argument.

I did it’s just a nonsensical comparison that borders on genocide denial

Ukraine and Israel are allies

Totally control

Did you read anything I said? They do not want to be responsible for dealing with the shambles that Ukraine has become. It benefits them far more to let that be Europe’s burden

It doesn’t matter what the Ukranian government wants or doesnt want, they’ve lost the war. If you don’t like it, take it up with the nazis in charge or the Americans who put them there in the 2014 Maidan coup and told them they could win. The Ukranian people overwhelmingly want peace. There were so many offramps before this point, and the US puppet government refused all of them, so now here we are learning an object lesson in why diplomacy is preferable to belligerence.

Where are people getting this Lord of the Rings-ass idea? Russia doesn’t want to absorb Ukraine because

A) They do not want to be responsible for tamping down decades of Banderite insurgencies, and

B) Doing so would mean that they now share a vulnerable border with a NATO member which is, and I cannot stress this enough, most of the reason they went into Ukraine in the first place.

What they actually want is a buffer zone in the form of a demilitarized Ukraine. The Donbas Republics have voted to join the Russian Federation, so they’re not going back to Ukranian control, but western Ukraine is far more strategically beneficial to them as a rump state.

Oh well then surely we need only kick in the door, and the whole rotten edifice will come crumbling down!
