i mean, ukrops can't even explain it, because being a racist prick doesn't require precisely high intellectual potential....

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean, using slurs like "ukrop" is not any better, is it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's not an ethnic slur, it's apparently from the Ihor Kolomoyskyi sponsored political party, Ukrainian Association of Patriots:

I have no idea why, since it's pretty marginal now, but it included many very loud ukrofascists, so probably because they became symbol of russophobia for Russians.

ukrop isn't a racial slur any more than Lib is. Ukrop is a political designation.

Am I misreading or is this article a bit misleading?

When asked to comment on the statements by Podoliak during a briefing on Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said: “I don’t know the background of this person’s remarks, but he should clarify them.”

Is this the "demand"? its the only actualy quote Im seeing, I am very tired tho

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Diplomacy demand.

"He should clarify them" roughly equates to "MFer better think long and hard about what they say next".

Both have carefully cultivated public images. One is fighting for his nation's future and wants to show his people that they'll get through this adversity with dignity, the other is fighting for US funding and wants to show the US public that he really does need every penny he can get.

Dr. Bashar al-Assad: World famous eye surgeon, man of the people, speaks fluent English whenever he wants the imperialists to hear what he has to say

Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Washed up comedian, corrupt politician, stammers in broken English whenever he wants to beg for more useless wunderwaffen.

excuse me, eye surgeon? that's impressive

This could be an ad for why you shouldn't do coke

intellectual potential is when you plunge your country into a civil war and then keep escalating it until you're at war with a neighboring power because you just hate russians that much

china lacks that

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey, Ukraine is a country that goes international with that. I mean how many Americans even heard of Ukro before 2022. At least they are dying with tears on the cheeks of western libs. The western libs are crying in buckets.. That means something. That's why Ukraine's 2nd language is english and they have changed the slavic Christmas to english christmas... See.. Great achievement.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair, they did heard of Ukraine before 2022. They're a lot of yelling and screaming back in 2014-2015 after Crimea succeeded from Ukraine, which lots of American loss their shit because you shouldn't have the self-determination that doesn't align with Westerner's agenda, apparently.

But that was the time when Obama was busy with Libya , Syria and what not. Oh sorry drone strikes in Afghanistan and in Pakistan. Americans were mostly busy with that.

I can explain that! Podoliak is tormented by a neural affliction that is very common in the Western world, known to medical professionals as Redditis ugabuga, or in more common usage, "the Digital Disease".

This illness has both extraordinary rates and means of transmission, since it appears to spread via the visual centre of the brain perceiving digital signals from a screen. The disease vectors, so-called Nazions - vulgo Hitler particles - originate on websites, typically 4chan or Parler, and gather in the frontal lobe where they execute an SQL injection disabling the parts of the brain responsible for logic, critical thinking, and general conduct. They may also attempt to install a payload insisting that the patient's own nationality, ethnicity, ideology, religion, or language would be particularly close to Anglo-Saxon culture and therefore superior.

Symptoms involve frequent lapses in communication (both oral and written), poor judgement of oneself and others, social media addiction, putrid exudations, slouching posture, proneness to scams, and a diminishing social life. In advanced stages this may lead to a solitary life entirely devoid of meaning, pleasure, and joy.

As the disease becomes terminal, the spine of the patient increases its curvature to such a degree that their upper body folds forward by 180° (although some patients may insist it is 360°) such that the head then enters the rectum. At this point, anything that is fed to the patient has already gone through several rounds of premastication and digestion. In terms more apprehensible to the understanding of the anatomic layman, Podoliak "has their head up their ass", and "is full of their own shit".

Its generally considered a bad move to piss off one major power but Ukraine has managed to piss off two.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

have you considered that the Ukrainian government right now comprises of racist corrupt morons

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Fascism is self destruction, the reactionary forces cannot stop themselves so they just keep pissing off every other interest group until they die.

ofc high intellectual potential is when you put everything in your country in a fire sale that makes even your average black friday deal stores blush

The aide accused China, India and also Türkiye of “earning money” on the conflict between Moscow and Kiev.

Was Blinken off to the side holding up cue cards for him?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Nah, that's just what western media does - project. Some comrades here have put it nicely: "Every accusation is a confession". Look at any accusation lobbed by the media at the designated enemy. Odds are, NATO/USA had done it at some point or is currently doing it

Podoliak isn’t the first high-ranking Ukrainian official to make derogatory remarks about Asian countries. In August, Aleksey Danilov, the head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, suggested that Asian people were less humane compared to Europeans, including Ukrainians. “I’m fine with Asians, but Russians are Asians. They have a completely different culture, vision. Our key difference from them is humanity,” Danilov said. (RT)

People wonder why India, China, and Turkey aren't super sympathetic to them 🤷‍♀️

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

China really said: Impressive. Very nice. Let's see what you really meant by that.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

"im fine with asians, but russians are asians [...] our key difference is humanity". 😐

Pretty clickbait titles for this words

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Make no mistake, the "They should clarify their remarks" is diplomat speak for "This guy better check himself before he wrecks himself."
