idk dude, maybe you should stop sending wave after wave after wave of leopards and bradleys into minefields if you want to not waste Western resources
the saddest thing is that at the end of this war, there will be hundreds of thousands if not millions of dead Ukrainians, all who died because of Western hatred. but you won't actually care, will you? the lives of the average Ukrainian mean nothing to you. you could send a hundred Ukrainians to die horrifically in the no man's land and if a Russian stubs his toe because of it, you would call it a worthy sacrifice, because causing the Russians inconvenience and suffering is worth much more than saving the lives of innocent people who have been conscripted at gunpoint.
if it wasn't a worthy sacrifice, and you thought this wholesale slaughter should stop, you would support ending the war, like the left does.
That has to be one of the dumbest takes I've ever read on the internet.
If the West wouldn't support Ukraine then the Russians would kill them without resistance, that's about it.
If the west wouldn't 'support' Ukraine then they'd still have their democratically elected government and wouldn't be in conflict with Russia in the first place
Obviously not as they'd be under Putin's control.
If nearly a decade ago Ukraine were allowed to keep it's democratically elected government, they would be under Putin's control?
Why do you feel comfortable jumping in to argue when you don't seem to know what's being talked about in the first place?
The leader that Ukraine rejected because he was under Moscow's control? Funny that you don't mention the constant meddling that Moscow has been doing in Ukrainian politics to bring it under their control. Ukraine elects a leader that wants to align with Europe and not Russia and suddenly Russia engages in a 3 day war to get rid of Zelensky. Funny that.
Holy shit what a nauseating
Yeah, Putin's actions in trying to gain control of Ukraine over the years have been nauseating. Seems like it's a bit triggering for you though when the people of Ukraine reject Putin's cronies.
What's with all the weird pictures in the reply? Are you 10?
also yes I am 10/10
If you're a communist why do you defend Russia?
In what way and to what degree am I defending Russia and against what?
Be specific if you're going to criticize me so I don't spend too much time going back and forth cutting through generalities.
oh honey you don't have to pretend to be any dumber
The irony of someone who worships Russia calling someone dumb 😂
Its such a sad tell that you servile losers simply can't concieve of not "worshipping" something
A countdown timer. That's cool, I guess?
Wait for it
Did all the Japanese get killed after they surrendered? Did all Germans? If they had surrendered earlier less of them would have died. The same goes for Nazi Ukraine. Their defeat is inevitable, and prolonging the inevitable only adds to the suffering...and to the list of war crimes that they will be charged with by Russia's tribunals afterwards. The West's "support" is literally destroying Ukraine and they have all admitted that they have no problem with this, in fact they profit from it.
The West is happy to "fight to the last Ukrainian" to hurt Russia, the Banderite Nazis are happy to die (and force their less fanatical compatriots to do so as well) for the West so long as it enables their genocidal urges, meanwhile the only ones who actually care about the Ukrainian people and have gone out of their way to try and save them from the Western imperialists and from themselves are the Russians.
It's actually really sad that there isn't a single country on the planet that cares about Ukraine except Russia (and maybe Belarus). To the West they're just a tool, useful idiot cannon fodder, to the rest of the world they're a tragic cautionary tale about what happens when you let the lunatics take over the asylum, which is what happened on the Maidan in 2014. If you really cared about Ukraine you too would want the flow of weapons and money to them to stop, because the longer this goes on the worse it will be for them.
Not to mention the arming of a now destabilize country in Europe, could have totally unforeseeable consequences. But that's not Americans problem.
Kill who? Without the west supplying and supporting Ukraine wouldn't even have a functioning military to kill.
If the West didn't organize a coup in Ukraine, put Nazis into power, then prod them into slaughtering their countrymen, then the Russians wouldn't have invaded. The Russians didn't just wake up one day and decide to invade Ukraine.
I'd love to see how you people will react when Mexico joins BRICS and the US invades it.
Mexico aint joining brics unfortunely. Tho it doesnt stop the US from manufacturing consent to invade on a daily basis with their fentanyl+cartel talking points.
I cannot fucking wait for China and Russia to do freedom of navigation exercises between Cuba and Florida like how the US does with Taiwan and China and for Americans to just fucking LOSE it. Holy shit, it'll be so funny. "No, this isn't the same because China is evil and we're the good guys!"
They did it near Alaska and Yankees lost it
Yes, all because of western hatred, fuck all to do with the people who invaded in the first place. They're all imperalist fucks but takes like this on the situation are just completely braindead.
Serious question, would you save 300,000 Ukrainian lives if it meant giving up 100 square kilometres of land to Russia?
Of course not! It's not Ukraine's fault that the Russian Federation invaded and demanded they give up land.
Meanwhile "tankies":
(Mao)
That question was a test of your basic empathy and humanity
Let's see those results
Yikes
Imagine thinking they'd stop at 100 sq km lol
What a shock: you aren't willing to answer that question. I wonder why
If they didn't, then you'd still have 300,000 bodies to throw at them - not to mention openly breaking treaties isn't a good look internationally - particularly if you're trying to build a counter bloc or at least ensure neutrality
Ukraine shoulda kept those nukes, those are much better at protecting neutrality when you share a border with Russia. Educate yourself about the Budapest memorandum and maybe you'll realize your hypocrisy. Why the sam hell do you think would Russia care about breaking internal law?
Ukraine didn't have the ability to use them, except to take the radioactive material and put them into conventional weapons - which they could do anyway because of their nuclear industry.
Okay so you think Russia broke the memorandum right?
Yes, of course.
Belarus would argue that the US broke their memorandum first with sanctions IIRC, Russia would argue that the 2014 revolution in Ukraine was in part due to US political interference, the US would argue that Russia broke it in Crimea in 2014 and Ukraine in 2022.
RuLeS baSEd oRDeR!
The imperialism of marching your border closer and closer to NATO's troops from 1990 to 2022 is truly the worst kind. Russia must be punished for putting Moscow that close to Ukraine.
couldn't possibly have anything to do with the pro-Russian separatists in the Donbass who were getting slaughtered for years before 2022. those people don't matter, only pro-Ukraine people matter. couldn't possibly have anything to do with security interests. only NATO's security interests matter, not Russia (or China's). couldn't possibly have anything to do with having armed NATO-trained troops in a country that recently experienced a US-backed coup. of course, if Russia puts Wagner forces in African countries (so not even inside NATO's "sphere of influence") that recently experienced a coup, that's an entirely different thing because uhh Russia is bad and NATO is good. that's Russian imperialism. us putting our troops in coup'd countries is freedom and bringing democracy. and also that wasn't a coup, it was actually the citizens doing it all by themselves.
Where have you been for 8 years? 2014-2022
What do you know of the modern "civil conflict" in Ukraine? Do you know what happened in 2014? Are you aware of who began massacring who that year?
(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_have_you_been_for_eight_years%3F#:~:text=%22Where%20have%20you%20been%20for,pointing%20out%20to%20what%20Ukraine)
Wow. I've been asking people that question since February 2022 and I have yet to receive a single Ruble from Mr. Putin.
I recall talking with my friends about Ukraine being a Nazi state in 2020. It was just a fucked up thing all of us knew. I suppose I ought to wash my brain of that vivid memory, lest I become a kremlin apologist ex post facto.
Holy shit, NATOpedia made an article saying "Hey, there might be actual historical context to this situation and Putin didn't wake up on February 24th and decide to murder a bunch of people because he's a very evil bad bad man and King Zelensky shall slay the dragon and then we all live happily ever after." is actually Russian disinformation? Oh my fucking god. These people are unbearable.
That article is amazing
That's hilarious. What should happen after signing an agreement is that the violence should stop! Gtfo with this things were getting better but we won't provide any evidence to back this claim up bullshit.
Reminds me of how ingrained the presupposed eternal nature of this imperialist hell is into things like statistical analyses of police violence.
For instance, I once had a guy in college (who is now a professional Republican lobbyist) tell me that there was indeed a racial problem behind police violence in the U.S.! The racial disparity between how many white folk and how many black folk were getting killed, he agreed, was appalling. He said, however, that over time that disparity was shrinking, and officer-involved fatalities were reaching "equitable levels between whites and blacks!", so we're actually on the fast track to progress, not regress.
The disparity was shrinking. Not the actual amount of murders.
The wanton and brutal murders committed by police are not the primary issue, they say, the opaquely racial disparity between who is being murdered is.
A game of images. A perfectly logical conclusion to this train of thought is that police should simply murder more white people to prove that racism is over, to make state-sanctioned violence more equitable. Murder, but be inclusive about it!
This is the presentation of the issue by those who acknowledge that there even exists a racial problem. There are plenty who outright deny its existence and still more who celebrate it. Politicians who claim to oppose police violence (especially the phenotypically-motivated kind) will nevertheless be found supporting legislation that further militarizes the police. This is how Amerika does politics... never harm reduction, only harm redistribution - at best.
It's so fucking funny. I shared it semi-ironically (the Russian bots are inside your walls) but I also want it to serve as an example of liberal anti-communist biases that permeate Wikifedia and hopefully an exercise for our more liberal acquaintances to practice their critical reading skills.
Hey, that time the Ukrainian state killed people? It wasn't TECHNICALLY an attempted genocide, according to our sixth-time revised definition of the term (rev. 2022). We know they TECHNICALLY outlawed the spoken and written language of a major plurality of their people and TECHNICALLY killed 14,000+ of them, but like, it wasn't a genocide. Russia is doing the genocide. Because Putler is ebil.
It's amazing how thin the veneer of understanding is on empire defenders. They cannot even keep their criticisms of international and national policy differentiated, when it comes to attacking anti-imperialists it's always both. No examination of political economy or national histories, just democratic good guys and auforitarian bad guys.
