I had to double check that this is not a much older article. Western media once again lagging months behind the events on the ground.

Nazis outing themselves by downvoting this post.


Russia.


Would you say those secessions happened freely and without armed pressure from Russia?
They didn’t start as secessionist movements, they started as protest movements for autonomy after an illegal and violent fascist coup that toppled their elected government. They didn’t want to have policies imposed on them by a central government that hates their language and their history and their culture.
This all happened before any intervention by Russia. The coup government in Kiev launched the civil war by sending in first fascist paramilitaries and then the actual military to suppress the protests. The protesters armed themselves and joined with defectors from the army to defend their communities. Only then Russia started providing support.
As I understand it, imperialism is the pursuit of a state encompassing many nations. Is Russia a nation state?
So every state that is not a pure ethnostate is imperialist? Why do you people love ethnostates so much? What is wrong with a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural state in which different groups live together in harmony?
You realize this model works fine for Switzerland? Why aren’t countries in Eastern Europe allowed to have that same model? Why must they be broken up along ethnic and religious lines? Divide and conquer for easier exploitation and subjugation by western imperialism?
I live in a group of European nation states currently experiencing hybrid warfare from Russia
Your media and government is gaslighting you. No such thing is happening. Your country is waging hybrid war against Russia. Your country is arming people who kill Russians. Your country is economically sanctioning Russia. Russia is doing none of these things to you.
what is reported by both trustworthy state sources and independent media
Your state sources are not trustworthy and most of your media is not independent.
Nobody in my region wants this war to continue.
This is a lie. You want the war to continue and you enable the war to continue by continuing to arm and fund one of the parties waging the war. If you wanted to stop the war you would stop fueling the war and start engaging in earnest negotiations in which you take Russia’s legitimate concerns seriously.
where the border disputes with Germany were solved with free and fair referendums
There were already referendums in the Donbass. The people have made their choice. They rejected the Nazi regime.


Only one of the two countries still holds elections. Zelensky is a dictator whose legal term has long since expired who fears elections because he knows he will lose. He has banned all opposition parties and opposition media. Putin has a 70%+ approval rating and always holds elections on schedule.
Only one of the two countries needs to have roving gangs of thugs accosting men on the street and abducting them into vans to force them to go to the front line with a gun at their back.
Only one of the two countries is completely financially dependent on constantly begging other countries for money and weapons to keep its government and society from falling apart.


Complete and utter nonsense. Everyone, including the Western architects of this conflict, admits that the number one cause of the conflict was NATO expansion. On top of that the 2014 coup, and Ukraine’s brazen refusal to implement the Minsk agreements made escalation inevitable. Also, recreating the USSR would be a good thing. Unfortunately Putin has no intention of doing that.


Which was after the people of Crimea and Donbass rose up to oppose an illegal US orchestrated fascist coup in Kiev that installed a Nazi puppet regime that persecutes Russian speakers and hates the people of Eastern Ukraine. The people of Crimea wanted no part of that and voted to leave Ukraine, and Russia protected them from the fascist thugs that were terrorizing Eastern Ukraine.


There is no insurgency because the people of Eastern Ukraine hate the fascist Kiev regime and welcome the Russians as liberators. The Ukrainian Nazis know this and are extra brutal toward the people in Eastern Ukraine, who they hate and terrorize and kill just like Israelis do to Palestinians.
As a result the people in Eastern Ukraine give away positions of the fascists to the Russian army and offer shelter to Russian soldiers, who in turn give them more help than any Ukrainian government ever has.
Russia has no intention to annex all of Ukraine and never has. Only the historic Russian regions full of Russian speaking people who are being persecuted and genocided by the Nazi regime. And even that they only do reluctantly because Ukraine left them no choice when it refused to abide by the Minsk agreements and shelled the Donbass for eight years.
That’s an acceptable translation with perhaps a few minor mistakes. I translated the whole thing here (with some commentary) if you’re interested.


It’s always a cold winter in Russia. That’s kind of their thing. Ask your idol Hitler.


The US hasn’t had conscription since the 70s.


You can when it’s occupied by Nazis.


Care to engage with any of the arguments being presented? Or do you concede that you cannot refute them?


Remember when all the pro-Ukraine people were saying that the Russian army is totally unprepared for winter and they would all freeze to death, unlike the Ukrainians who are used to fighting in the winter? That was a serious narrative some people were actually spreading.
They were even writing articles like: Russian Soldiers Are Freezing To Death In Eastern Ukraine
Even in 2024 they were still trotting out narratives about how, unlike the Ukrainians, the Russian soldiers have no winter gear.


Russia in the 90s was corrupt and an economic basketcase but it wasn’t outright fascist. Modern Ukraine is more like if Russia in the 90s had a child with today’s “Israel”.


Lol, so you’re saying that AIs can pass the Turing test just by virtue of humans being so bad at behaving like actual humans.


No need to wait a week, it already happened. The city is lost.


The Kiev regime is a drug addled, human trafficking, terrorist crime syndicate of thieving sociopaths and Nazi degenerates.
The demographic of genocidal Zionist lunatics? They already have that demographic on lock.
