The war is going great. dean-smile

Yet another horrifying scene which would be plastered all over network news if only it were happening in Russia instead.

It’s not “authoritarianism” if it’s happening in a US ally (or puppet).

    No thats not what the genocide statute at the UN considers as evidence of genocide.

    The Russian SMO was in response to prevent an ethnic cleansing and further abuse of the ethnic Russian speaking portions in eastern Ukraine. It is not a war to conquer Ukraine or to eliminate its people because Russia and Ukraine are fraternal nations only a few decades ago part of a same larger, greater nation.

    The war was to be concluded in Istanbul in the summer of 2022 (only a few months of heavy fighting) but the negotiations were derailed by the Ukrainian side who then killed their negotiator. The aims of the Russian side has always been demilitarization and no NATO (plus the annexation of the requisite oblasts) and for Ukraine to be a neutral buffer zone, not a pro EU/NATO or pro Russian puppet.

    Now this conflict had dragged on for 3 years and looking to its 4th. Entire generations of Ukrainians have disappeared because the fighting motto of westerners is “to the last Ukrainian” not because evil Russians love kidnappings babies or whatever blood libel you came up with.

    The only just side is the Russian side who is fighting against NATO, not Ukraine.

        Super funny because all the international condemnation has done was prolong the war and get more of Ukraine killed and also buy the Ukrainian state resources for pennies while framing it as a “mineral rights” deal (or in other words let the US do exactly this)

        Yes please ignore the international community and you’ll be just as cool and right as me.
