If history is anything to go by, this will probably set off a wave of terrorist attacks from the disillusioned rabid dogs Europe and the US armed, trained, and whipped up into a frenzy in Azov, Right Sector, Bratstvo, Kraken, Third Assault…
Your parents or grandparents cheered on the Mujahideen as well, once.
And, exactly like the mujahideen that became Al-Qaeda, the CIA trained these particular extremists to almost exclusively target civilians and stage terror attacks.
There would have been a war because the DNR and LNR seceded, and Ukraine refused to negotiate in good faith, choosing to bomb civilians into an unconditional surrender.
We will all win! Because we will have a job — they don’t have one. We will have pensions — they don’t have them. We will have the support of people — children and pensioners — but they do not have it. Our children will go to schools and kindergartens, and they will have them sitting in basements. Because they don’t know how to do anything! That’s how, that’s how we’re going to win this war.
Poroshenko said this in 2014.
This sort of shit is why I distrust gringos, you bring up the villain of the month and y’all might as well be talking about Voldemort. I get that your education is barely good enough to teach you literacy, but you have to get past processing all politics as villanous caricatures and shining armor heroics.
Grow up.
Yes , they do lmao. To leftists, imperialism is a system of economic subordination where the metropole drains labor power and capital from the periphery by way of military force and financial instruments. To libs it’s when western capital isn’t allowed to pillage at will.
They can propose bills they know will not make it.
they actively work to ensure don’t make it. Manchin, Sinema and others like them are greatly valued by Dems for their role as scapegoats.
The Dems did some delegate fuckery where all candidates endorsed Biden because Bernie Trump had to be stopped at all cost, and their delegates went to Biden even if he hadn’t been voted for. Kamala contributed all of her 0 delegates and got VP for being a cop the first to drop out iirc.
I know “no u” is the end all be all of lib argument, but I’m not clutching my pearls at anything. Russia is winning and Ukraine needs this peace deal, and politicians there are gonna have to acknowledge what the population wants soon or mass desertions are gonna be the least of their problems.
Somebody in here does have a lack of self awareness, but it’s tragic more than it is funny. I’m past seeing the fun in yet another westerner frothing at the mouth.
Do illuminate me though, I’m sure such a brash and confident attitude can only come from white mediocrity reading a lot of history and political theory books and not just, like, vibes and half remembered headlines.
They tried, for 8 years. The West collectively said “nah, fuck you and your peace deals” and continued to bomb Donbas.
Now y’all are celebrating war crimes with the one hand and clutching your pearls that Russia hits back at military equipment fired from within hospitals (another fucking war crime from Ukraine) with the other.
I hope the upcoming burst of the bubble puts the west down for real, I can’t believe people like you are voting for the people in charge of the biggest military apparatus in human history.
Sometimes I wonder how the fuck we as the world have been getting all of our shit stolen by people this delusional.
You’re a fucking hair away from being a nazi ragging on about how immigrants are gonna come in and assault everybody and then move elsewhere when they’re done, look in the mirror a little jfc. Hell, you’re already using their asiatic horde script.
You don’t understand the lib mindset, they’re always talking about their monster nazi rapist orc vs the good guys scenario. The post is just an excuse to bring out the script.
i wouldnt be surprised if the russians attacked themselves
The absolute state of libs. Put down the tinfoil.
Russians are at the same time desperate for a peace deal bc they’re getting decimated but staging an elaborate and incredibly expensive attack to jettison the deal. ??? Boy am I not surprised your ruling class doesn’t respect your intellect enough to pretend they’re not robbing you blind.
Only if you ignore the bulk of the text, you fucking dunce
Survivors and witnesses of Russian strikes in the Donbas, Kharkiv and Mykolaiv regions told Amnesty International researchers that the Ukrainian military had been operating near their homes around the time of the strikes, exposing the areas to retaliatory fire from Russian forces. Amnesty International researchers witnessed such conduct in numerous locations.
International humanitarian law requires all parties to a conflict to avoid locating, to the maximum extent feasible, military objectives within or near densely populated areas. Other obligations to protect civilians from the effects of attacks include removing civilians from the vicinity of military objectives and giving effective warning of attacks that may affect the civilian population.
the kind of shit libs say is “RUSSIA KIDNAPPING CHILDREN!!!” (along with a guardian to move them away from the fucking battle zones as required by international law)
“The military were staying in a house next to our home and my son often took food to the soldiers. I begged him several times to stay away from there because I was afraid for his safety. That afternoon, when the strike happened, my son was in the courtyard of our home and I was in the house. He was killed on the spot. His body was ripped to shreds. Our home was partially destroyed.” Amnesty International researchers found military equipment and uniforms at the house next door.
Mykola, who lives in a tower block in a neighbourhood of Lysychansk (Donbas) that was repeatedly struck by Russian attacks which killed at least one older man, told Amnesty International: “I don’t understand why our military is firing from the cities and not from the field.” Another resident, a 50-year-old man, said: “There is definitely military activity in the neighbourhood. When there is outgoing fire, we hear incoming fire afterwards.” Amnesty International researchers witnessed soldiers using a residential building some 20 metres from the entrance of the underground shelter used by the residents where the older man was killed.
In one town in Donbas on 6 May, Russian forces used widely banned and inherently indiscriminate cluster munitions over a neighbourhood of mostly single or two-storey homes where Ukrainian forces were operating artillery. Shrapnel damaged the walls of the house where Anna, 70, lives with her son and 95-year-old mother.
Anna said: “Shrapnel flew through the doors. I was inside. The Ukrainian artillery was near my field… The soldiers were behind the field, behind the house… I saw them coming in and out… since the war started… My mother is… paralyzed, so I couldn’t flee.”
Amnesty International researchers witnessed Ukrainian forces using hospitals as de facto military bases in five locations. In two towns, dozens of soldiers were resting, milling about, and eating meals in hospitals. In another town, soldiers were firing from near the hospital.
The Ukrainian military has routinely set up bases in schools in towns and villages in Donbas and in the Mykolaiv area. Schools have been temporarily closed to students since the conflict began, but in most cases the buildings were located close to populated civilian neighbourhoods
At 22 out of 29 schools visited, Amnesty International researchers either found soldiers using the premises or found evidence of current or prior military activity – including the presence of military fatigues, discarded munitions, army ration packets and military vehicles.
Emphasis mine. This was the tactic from the very start, look at the date.
but sure, hang onto the one damage-control paragraph required of amnesty to not fuck with the war effort too much
I swear to god libs are incapable of conceiving more than 5 people in their head at any time, always with the reductive analogies, and it’s always a rapist or a serial killer or both. Grow the fuck up.
Close, it was invented by literal Nazis and spread by Hollywood and William Randolph Hearst and revived during the 80s by spurious studies done by Harvard in service of rekindling the cold war.
I know I should know better than expecting libs to ever read anything other than YA fiction but here it goes anyway. Plenty of citations, very concise.
Also, for how much libs rag on about bots you’d think y’all would stop writing like you’re getting paid by the word. Talk like normal people, five dollar words do you no good when you flail them around to hide your cookie cutter views. Only children and redditors think more bigger words=smarter.
Nice word salad you got there, but smashing a dozen military sounding buzzwords doesn’t make your sentences coherent, it just makes you look like a dumbass redditor.
Also “If you’re not critical of military opposition to american interventionism, I hope to see you enthusiastic about American interventionism for the same reasons”. You libs would be funny as hell if I didn’t have to live with the consequences of your racism and idiocy.
Learning a few German words and pretending everyone’s a nazi except for the people who hired every Nazi they could find isn’t a substitute for actually reading history and understanding current politics.
There’s not a single serious analyst claiming Russia is pursuing this war in the interest of land, they have the largest landmass in all of Eurasia, you fucking clown. This war started because of the US coup, states seceded because they didn’t recognize their Washington appointed government as legitimate.
But you do you man, you can whatabout and bothsides all the way to the firing squad
Lmao. Tough talk coming from armchair generals as per usual when they’re not busy clutching pearls that the Ukraine military got absolutely dogwalked. Have fun with your oncoming cost of living crisis once the line stops going up because you were too busy frothing at the mouth at whomever the state department pointed you to. Be careful not to get a cold, might end up an indentured servant sooner than that.
Even if there weren’t this overt racism and defunding in US institutions at the moment, China looks like the place to be for applied physics, especially fusion. Three tokamaks in operation right now and another state-of-the-art reactor commissioned and expected to be in operation by 2030 in a country that doesn’t seem to be plagued with the endless delays and skyrocketing budgets that western projects always face.
When the big breakthrough comes, you probably want to be around it.
Most of the refugees are women because Ukraine restricted travel of men of military age. Al Qaeda wasn’t staging attacks with refugees, they mobilized the recruits which grew and grew during the war, and then they put their CIA training to practice with arms they got from the west.
Y’all better hope and pray that Russia is allowed to denazify Ukraine, otherwise you’re probably gonna have to see the consequences of your government’s warmongering and your populace’s xenophobic complacency.
