I was following the existence of these groups for a while back in the day. Their crimes does not make an excuse to annex a country. Maybe everyone's got that COVID brain now but if you can focus a bit you night remember that Russia keeps annexing independent countries whether or not there's nationalist boogiemen present.
But I'm sure foreign intervention is cool to you types, after all the US does it so it's fine right?
Nobody is trying to annex Ukraine dude, not before the war and definitely not now. I don't know where you guys get the idea that you can just Say Shit and have it count in an argument, but that is not the case. This war began in part because the Russian Federation would not abide the presence on their border of a fascist puppet government of a nuclear-armed enemy coalition that has helped pillage it's economy and kill millions of it's people within living memory.
Do you know what would happen if Russia annexed Ukraine? That's right, their border would now be with Poland, a member of the nuclear-armed enemy coalition that etc etc. Except now their border would be a salient vulnerable from three sides and they would also be tied down by administering the basket case that western Ukraine has become. I am begging you people to stop thinking that life is a movie and Russians are the unthinking orc bad guys, and actually consider the strategic situation from their position. They don't fucking want Ukraine. Not even NATO fucking wants Ukraine. Ukraine is a spent munition.

And again, this is something NATO and the US do constantly, nonstop, while accusing their enemies of doing. It's an incredibly predictable pattern. They did in in Ukraine dude. They've been doing it since after WW2. Invade/coup a country on the other side od the world. Install fascists to administer it for you. Declare it an independent state. Instigate further conflict, claim locals started it. We must defend South Korea. We must defend South Vietnam. We must defend Ukraine. Bam, you are now "defending the sovereignty" of a people whose government you picked for them, and whose struggling bodies you have thrown into conscription vans for a war you started from thousands of miles away and are making bank off of. It is so very depressing that after most of a century, this trick still works on liberals, and it works because they want to believe it.
-You in 1944, smugly opposing D-Day
Because they're nazis. They literally don't give a shit. It's the enemy. You can just say whatever you want about the enemy. If someone argues with you then you've rooted out a spy.
I don't think Russians are Orcs. Quite a bit of them have tried not to go to war. Many of them keep dying for mysterious reasons. I think their leader-for-life is an ex-kgb oligarch tool from an oligarchic era and he murders any other political possibilities that try to happen in his country. It's just weird as fuck that people defend his actions but not really when you look at the IP addresses of war pigs on twitter
Not going to give you sources because you are a lost cause doing state shit for a state. People who know, they know. But you're just here to lie, invent fake arguments to dunk on like a schizo, and embody convictions in front of the right people. Hope they saw it and thought you were very brave shilling for a government.
Edit: did not see this was an .ml com. That's on me, I came to your turf. I'm not sorry for what I said but I know you all have your hustle and so I shouldn't have said it here
Trying to understand how and why states do what they do and coming to different conclusions, surely is not simping for some of these leaders. You get that, right?
I saw it, I think your dissonance makes you cop out. People who know, they know — lol.
nah. this just isn't the place. i usually know better than to run my mouth here but ui on the device I'm using appended the server name. there is not a single link in the world that would be productive here because that's not what this place is for
And you think, that it‘s for state propaganda from Russia? Again, wtf is this, you‘re in conspiracy theory territory.
Because they’re formulating an analysis, widely accepted throughout the world, but opposing the narrative of the western countries involved in this war? Maybe you’re the PsyOp for casting doubt on facts, by attcking the integrity of the user, instead of providing any substantial evidence to support your allegations.
if you wanna dm me about it I'll be real with you but mods are just going to nuke any comments of mine if I'm not setting anyone up for a slam dunk. it's way more boring than I'm making it sound
