Except in real life Ukraine is not full of Nazis, that was a bullshit excuse for Putin to invade and try to steal their land, for the benefit of himself because he's a god damned dictator. I will never understand how someone can see a country straight up invade another and kill thousands of civilians and be on the invader's side.
Wait, did Ukraine invade Russia? What kind of bullshit alternate universe are you from?
Eat me.
"Real life Ukraine" has no more Nazis than any other given nation. The problem is that this small minority has had a stranglehold on the government since the U.S. bankrolled coup in 2014 that put them in power. When Ukrainians finally had a chance to vote in a real election they rejected Poroshenko and the Svoboda coup leaders. They won every Oblast except Lviv, the ultra nationalist stronghold for actual ethnic Ukrainians. Zelensky promised peace under the Minsk Agreement, all while the Azov Brigade continued to shell civilians in the Donetsk City center. He even brought a camera crew to the front lines in an attempt to shame them into stopping. They laughed in his face and punked him in front of the cameras for all to see. Now he's just a kapo flunky for the men who actually control Ukraine.
John Mccain, Lindsey Graham, Victoria Nuland, they invaded Ukraine.
Calling Putin a dictator, someone with overwhelmingly popular support, is a meaningless pejorative alongside their enemy that we foster. Ukrainians can't vote. Men can't even leave to escape this Nazi death cult. There wasn't anything democratic about Svoboda's coup, and there's nothing democratic about Ukraine now.
Russia has more natural resources than any other nation in the world, and even more so per capita. That's all you need to know about the West's adversarial nature with Russia, why the RAND Corporation literally wrote a white paper that outlines how to destroy Russia and take all their shit.
The Donbass rejected the coup and the overthrow of their duly elected government. They had their own elections and expressed the democratic human right of self determination. They neither participated in any subsequent elections, legit or not, nor are they subject to the outcome decided in absentia.
Ukraine is now just another fascist ethnostate proxy for Western imperialism, same as Israel. Neither have a right to exist.
And besides, I'm older than "Ukraine".
Chew on that.
That's all total bullshit. The exact opposite of what you're saying is the truth.
Uhhh... Okay, bud. Exactly what part?
With the unfortunate Arctic thaw this will only increase access to to this vast untouched trove of resources.
Russia is fighting an existential threat. The idea that they're the aggressor or a threat to Europe is ridiculous propaganda. For centuries, every war ought between them and Europe has always come from Europe. Every single one.
The part where you claimed Putin wasn't a dictator becuase he has "overwhelmingly popular support" for starters. He very much is a dictator, and he only has "suport" because if you criticize him he throws you in jail. This is a man who literally kills his political opposition. Do not even try to claim he isn't a dictator, because he is.
A corporation writing a whitepaper and a vast conspiracy of every western nation against Russia are two different things. Corporations and think tanks and NGOs and shit write whitepapers all the time. Do you have any actual proof that "the west" is implementing this whitepaper?
Lol ok. We are now about to talk about how Russia rigs all their elections. You are going to get your ass handed to you on a silver platter. Spoiler alert: Russia does not have free elections.
