    That is complete bullshit, Zelenky is not a Nazi. And frankly, the country doesn’t belong to us, so we don’t get to decide how their government is run.
    And hey, the country also doesn’t belong to Putin. Putin is the one who invaded Ukraine, and not the other way around. You want the war to end? How about Putin surrenders and stops his invasion? How about that?

    The coup government has no right to “defend itself” anymore than Israel’s genocidal occupation does, just another fascist ethnostate proxy for Western imperialism.

    I see you’re trying to compare Zelenksy, who is actually justified in defending his country, with Israel, who are the perpetuators of genocide. A better comparison would be Putin and Russia with Israel. You know why? Because Putin started the damn war. Putin invaded Ukraine, not the other way around. Putin is the aggressor in Ukraine, just like how Israel is the aggressor in Palestine. Next time get it right.

      As if the billions of dollars we’ve pumped into the coup government come with no strings attached. Sure. Early on, Boris Johnson directly intervened on behalf of the Western nations to block any chance of a peace negotiation. They own Ukraine. Black Rock has privatized every aspect of public institutions and natural resources. Ukraine has been saddled with crushing generational debt by predatory IMF and arms loans. Their grandchildren’s grandchildren will be paying this off, if there’s anything left. Joining Russia and wiping this slate clean is the absolute best option for the people in the Ukraine.

      I’ve already said Zelensky’s obviously not a Nazi. He’s a chump who will never outlive his usefulness to the Banderites who have him on a leash. The day he sues for peace is the day he dies, and he knows this.

      How many times will the democratic mandate of these people be disregarded because they “voted wrong”? It didn’t start with Yanukovych or Zelensky or the Donbass. The first ever Soviet referendum concluded that they wished to remain in the Soviet Union, along with almost all the other republics. But, that was disregarded also because they “voted wrong”.

      When you start seeing democracy as a universal concept, and not just a select privilege enjoyed on the backs of others, you start seeing America as the least democratic nation in the world.

      Get it?

        I get that you’re spreading bullshit Russian propoganda, yes. None of that shit you said makes any difference, NONE OF IT JUSTIFIES RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRANE. Russia does not have a right to invade other countries, kill thousands of civilians, and try to annex it. Period, end of story. I dont’ give a fuck if you think every person in Ukraine is a “chump,” it doesn’t fucking matter. Putin could end this shit tomorrow, by pulling out his troops because he’s the one who invaded Ukraine in the first place.

        When you start seeing democracy as a universal concept, and not just a select privilege enjoyed on the backs of others, you start seeing America as the least democratic nation in the world.

        You telling me this while defending Russia and Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is peak irony.

          If I thought Ukrainians were all chumps then I wouldn’t be advocating for their democratic rights to self determination. Let them vote, FFS.

          With all the Russophobic conditioning you’ve been through it’s probably hard to wrap your head around the fact that the Ukraine War has seen the lowest civilian death rate than any major conflict in world history. This is what happens when a nation is pushed into conflict but still sees their adversary as human. Name one war of aggression by America that fits that.

          Ukraine is a hostage scenario, and Russia is liberating them. This was especially evident in the liberation of Mariupol, an ethnic Russian city that democratically seceded after the coup and before the Azov Brigade made them into prisoners, slaughtering anyone who tried to flee East.

          Watching Chechens stack the Nazi’s bodies like cordwood was more satisfying than I care to admit. 🍿👍

          Odessa next, please.
