Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine has killed thousands of civilians. He’s threatened the use of nuclear weapons. He’s attempting to erase Ukrainian identity and culture. And he’s forcibly deported children.
Zack Polanski should be ashamed of this comment.

@GadenKerensky @GrzesiekZ78 @yugopnik Ukraine didn't want *this* war, but it and westoids wanted a different war where NATO equipped, supported and funded glorious Ukrainian army whipes the floor with separs, kolorads, vatniks and ruzzians and Russia collapses under crushing western sanctions.
English
@GrzesiekZ78 @yugopnik 'On both sides'.
At least you specified 'especially the Kremlin', but Ukraine didn't ask for this war, didn't want this war.
This is solely on Russia. No one else.

The only reason drone warfare isn’t treated like nerve gas or land mines under international law is because it isn’t the West’s sons dying from it. As soon as it’s not Ivans being blown to bits but Johns and Toms the “discussion on the ethics of drone warfare” will become a mainstream talking point.

Drone warfare has reached such a level that many fighters have lost hope of escaping or resisting. For example, the final strike on the barracks is terrifying.

@ChrisO_wiki Are there any videos? There were shit tons of videos when Russians were doing it.
English
Very reminiscent of the early months of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and similarly indicative of poor discipline and/or open corruption among the officer cadre.

🔵 Haaretz: Israeli soldiers looting homes across southern Lebanon on a “crazy scale,” soldiers and commanders stationed inside Lebanon told the outlet. “According to the testimonies, as IDF soldiers leave Lebanon, they load stolen items onto their vehicles openly, without attempting to conceal them. ‘It’s on a crazy scale,’ one soldier said. ‘Anyone who takes something – televisions, cigarettes, tools, whatever – immediately puts it in their vehicle or leaves it off to the side, not inside the army base, but it’s not hidden. Everyone sees it and understands.’” Witnesses described troops taking motorcycles, televisions, tools, paintings, sofas, and rugs—often in full view, with no effort to conceal the theft.

@OliverJia1014 @KarlBlaha "If it’s done well and doesn’t just reduce him to a caricature."
Dude, read your other comments, that's exactly what you are doing.
English
@KarlBlaha If it’s done well and doesn’t just reduce him to a caricature. Ukrainians aren’t suffering at the hands of a cartoon.
I haven’t seen the film yet though but probably will at some point if it releases in Japan. So I’ll reserve judgement until then.
English
I get what they’re trying to do, but the trailers and reviews don’t inspire confidence.
Maybe if Putin were dead they could do this kind of movie, but he’s slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and is an active threat now. I just find it in poor taste.

@1none100k2 Calenda e Picerno dicono solo che Putin è uno sterminatore di ucraini al fine di ricostituire l'impero sovietico. Nessun essere senziente può smentirli
Italiano
Hanno completamente ragione.
Praticamente la Russia dovrebbe convocare l’ambasciatore italiano per ogni uscita di Calenda o della Picierno.
Si è perso completamente il senso della misura.

⚡️Вряд ли можно отнести к общепринятым в дипломатической практике нынешний повод для вызова в МИД – слова известного российского журналиста, пусть даже очень талантливого и популярного в народе, прозвучавшие на его собственном частном онлайн-канале. 🔗 facebook.com/share/1CDN4XPY…

@3lfares It's a lot more consistent to oppose *everything* that is illegal, like ethnonationalism or coups against democratically elected presidents.
English
it's soooooo naive to consistently oppose illegal occupations, war crimes and imperialism

@MastiffLtd @I_try_2_c_all @SorvariT @Jeff_Ahl And what did they imagine would happen after years of sabotage of the Minsk agreements?
English
@fusion37150 @I_try_2_c_all @SorvariT @Jeff_Ahl ...to make Russia abort the invasion. Unfortunately, the EU has been far too naive as they could not even imagine that Russia would start a full-scale war against another European country.

Här en bild på de socknar i Karelen som rövades av den smutsigaste statsbildning, som mänskligheten skådat. Därifrån evakuerades över 400000 människor, vars urfäder bott där sedan tidernas början. Brinn i helvetet kreml!

@MastiffLtd @I_try_2_c_all @SorvariT @Jeff_Ahl 2022 and 2023 weren't too long ago to forget how you cheered for the war and were confident that Russian economy and army would collapse.
English
@I_try_2_c_all @SorvariT @Jeff_Ahl Vilket jävla skitsnack, varför skulle Bryssel vilja ha krig med Ryssland? Innan Rysslands fullskaliga invasion av Ukraina, såg det ut som att något EU land rustade för krig? Svaret är givetvis nej. Däremot var det ett land österut som laddade för fullt, vilket väst vägrade tro.

@Ellymutualism @TheKidCCCP If you really want to attach some "-ism" to Russia, then irredentism would be a much better choice.

@TheKidCCCP Imperialists back Ukraine while Ukraine is also being invaded by an imperialist autocratic state

You cant be anti-imperialist without being pro-Ukraine and pro-Palestine simultaneously btw

@Eskuall @Jay_JayLuvsYa @Jmax528 @NekraRosa @KareemRifai As I've always said, Ukrainians wouldn't be half as sh1theads they are today if it wasn't for Crimea.
English
@fusion37150 @Jay_JayLuvsYa @Jmax528 @NekraRosa @KareemRifai I grew up in Crimea and it was beautiful.
I wish you all the worst for speaking shit without basic knowledge of the subject.
Btw obvious thing is your mum is a slut
English
The modest leftist views in question: "What do you call Crimea? I call it a part of Russian territory, bitch. That's what I call Crimea. I call it cry me a river. A Russian river."
hasanabi@hasanthehun
its easy, i have fairly modest leftist views across the board and im stubborn, so if they want to oppose everything i do - they inevitably find themselves aligning with right wing forces
English
@Eskuall @Jay_JayLuvsYa @Jmax528 @NekraRosa @KareemRifai Maybe you are right. Maybe they did teach it but it wasn't mandatory.
I know there was a push to Ukrainize education in Crimea right after it was swindled out of Russia, but the efforts fizzled out in a few years.
English
@fusion37150 @Jay_JayLuvsYa @Jmax528 @NekraRosa @KareemRifai Wtf are you talking about.
My mom was born in 1970 in the Crimea and she studied Ukrainians in school.
Are you stupid?
English
@Jay_JayLuvsYa @Jmax528 @NekraRosa @KareemRifai I don't remember agreeing to answer that question, I merely explained someone's else point and provided some history and context. And I think it's a sign of lazyness and ignorance when real life is simplified into "-isms".
English
@fusion37150 @Jmax528 @NekraRosa @KareemRifai None of this is relevant and you keep dodging my question. Is imperialism good or bad? Stop trying to make excuses for Russia's and answer my question, either all imperialism is good or all of it is bad, you cannot pick and choose which imperialism to support.
English
@Jay_JayLuvsYa @Jmax528 @NekraRosa @KareemRifai Ukraine could accept it and move on. It could implement the Minsk and get physical control of Donbass effectively ending the conflict.
But you don't settle for that when you are backed by the Collective West, right? When you reject peace, you get war.
English
@fusion37150 @Jmax528 @NekraRosa @KareemRifai Alright, assuming that is true, so what? Does that justify what Russia is currently doing in Ukraine? Is this not an imperialist action? Is imperialism good or bad?
English
@Jay_JayLuvsYa @Jmax528 @NekraRosa @KareemRifai Dude, according to Turchinov (I'm sure you know who this is) more than two thirds of Ukrainian armed forces in Crimea not just laid down arms but joined Russia. If that doesn't tell who Crimea wanted to be with then I don't know what does.
English
@fusion37150 @Jmax528 @NekraRosa @KareemRifai Yes yes, I'm aware of what lies states tell to justify imperialism. 'You don't understand, Austria loves us Germans, they're practically ethnically German!' Clearly Ukraine disagreed that this was part of Russia or they wouldn't have shot at them when they invaded.
English
@Jay_JayLuvsYa @Jmax528 @NekraRosa @KareemRifai The difference is if Ukraine "properly" conquered Crimea then its ethnic composition would be quite different. But the way it happened it was basically a piece of Russia inside Ukrainian borders. They didn't even teach Ukrainian language in schools there before 1991.
English
@fusion37150 @Jmax528 @NekraRosa @KareemRifai It was transferred to Ukraine in 1954, the USSR ceded it's claim to the territory after they collapsed. This is like saying Crimea belongs to the Mongols, because they owned it for 500 years.
English
@Jay_JayLuvsYa @Jmax528 @NekraRosa @KareemRifai The obvious point is that Crimea has never been truly Ukraine.

And what about what we prefer?
Ukrainians, Polish, Latvians Lithuanias, Estonias, Uzbekistani, Azerbaijani, Georgians, Moldovans and all the other people forced into the fucking prison of nations that was the Soviet Union by occupation, war, terror and subjugation by russians?

I would much prefer a timeline where the Soviet Union adopted more democratic reforms vs the timeline that gave us Putin’s Russia.
