It's on the newest live call episode but I saw it on YT

This is so weird, I JUST listened to Stavros Halkias talk to a dude about this on his podcast. Although that guy was married, and it was his wife who hated his friend's wife for being a Disney adult.

Rolf can see another millennial from a distance of twenty goats.

That might help if the whole thing wasn't in bad faith but I'm not confident of that.

I strongly disagree with almost everything in your post, but I don't want to get into a huge line by line discussion about everything, so I'm just going to address the emotionally loaded propaganda phrasing that you keep using.

Furthermore if not a full scale invasion, then what was the push for Kiev when the war started?

An invasion. You can just say invasion. You know that that accurately describes what happened, but "full scale" makes it sound more sinister while providing zero information.

What does full scale even mean? Total war like in WW2? Troops in every part of the invaded country? All of the invading country's armed forces entering the invaded country?

It clearly can't be any of those because none of those are true. It doesn't mean anything. Russia invaded Ukraine is a fact. "Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine" is a propaganda line from a Washington Post article.

There's like, a hobby where people get old paintings from goodwill and paint ghosts or aliens or mischievous neighborhood kids or whatever on them. I thought at first that maybe it was that?

Or even just adding existing drawn/painted people in MS paint or something .

In retrospect that was foolish of me.

Full scale invasion is a phrase that you keep using, and it makes you sound like you're getting all your information from redditors, because it just means invasion but sounds worse, like regime vs government.

The issue is you can say all the same about Russia in this case, except for not being NATO aligned.

First of all, that's not true. Russia wasn't overthrown a decade ago by neo-nazis and they weren't creating neo-nazi brigades within their military and using them to harass minority language speakers while also banning them from public life.

Secondly being NATO aligned is an incredibly big deal. For one, it puts you within the political bloc that's committing a modern Holocaust, amongst a bunch of other horrific crimes.

And trying to destroy a Nazi government is much different than the CIA couping a country to install a Nazi government what are you talking about?

I'm asking for reasons as to why to critically support Russia as opposed to Ukraine and if the strategic advantage is worth the moral repercussions.

You sound like a liberal. I've pretty much only ever seen good posts from lemmygrad so this is shocking to me.

Their reply is definitely AI and not just painted over right? The path next to the fence looks weird, the cloud patterns are different, the cars look really modern, everyone is standing in the flowers, it still kind of has the DHS seal in spite of the clouds behind the seal changing.

There's a lot to dislike about modern Russia but I'm not sure why a Marxist would strongly object to them for being at war with a US aligned, neo-nazi aligned NATO proxy that was running an ethnic cleansing campaign right on the Russian border.

Comments are absolutely garbage for the most part, but a few gems are scattered throughout.
