"The 1980's are calling to ask for their foreign policy back."

The 1600s would like a word...

This can’t be true. Even though Putin has stated multiple times that he models himself off Peter the Great (and he grew up in and then later became Deputy Mayor of St. Petersburg, guess who it was named after?) I for one am shocked SHOCKED that he is modeling his foreign policy off of Peter’s Imperialism. SHOCKED.

We’ve all heard from @Amaris that this is a purely defensive action to protect the innocents in the Donbas from the Jewish led Nazis of Ukraine.

Don't tag me about shit you don't understand.

This you?

875 years in, and Moskva sinks twice within months.

Good thread.

So I just saw a news story regarding mostly mentally disabled orphans in the Ukraine. It seems families have had to abandon down syndrome and other mentally handicapped children as they run from the country as refugees.

This is an interesting cascade of violent explosive noise that just assaults the demon on so many levels. This doesn't just go on in Ukraine, so the desire to do horrible nasty things to people in power and those of militaries who cause shit like this. I would just love to feed on their souls.

Ah, the classic anti-war, pro-civilian deaths, "big corporations bad" deflection. It's like Fahrenheit 911 is the only movie some people have ever seen.

Yes. You still cheering on Nazis?

The fascists aren't in power in Ukraine. There's a very small fraction of them there.

The fascist is in power in Russia. He controls the entire apparatus and is waging a war of genocide. In a country that Russia had previously committed genocide in, no less.

You are the one cheering on Nazis.

Ones that literally withdrew from the Geneva Conventions to get ready for their war crimes.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has revoked an additional protocol to the Geneva Conventions related to the protection of victims of international armed conflicts, a Russian parliamentary website cites a letter from him as saying.

The Additional Protocol I to the 1949 Geneva Convention was ratified by the Soviet Union’s Supreme Council, or parliament, in 1989.

Hey, rationalize it how you like. The US has always been good at supporting Nazis and then either incorporating them into the imperial culture (NATO), or pretending they don't exist (Ukraine). You want heroes, so you'll make them out of Nazis. That's your prerogative, but I don't have to pretend it's not so, and I don't have to pretend it's somehow good, moral, or right to support them.

Enjoy your Nazis. They've been rebranding lately, so I expect it will be easier for you. Give Stepan Bandera my regards, I guess.

Facts aren't rationalizatoin. There was no threat from 'Nazis' in Ukraine. This is the third former Soviet Republic Putin has invaded, and he has overtly admitted he's trying to recreate the Russian Empire.

You support genocide in a Democratic nation because your brain is captured by Putin's propaganda.

Russia is responsible for inciting genocide and perpetrating atrocities that show an “intent to destroy” the Ukrainian people, a new legal analysis signed by more than 30 independent experts concluded.

The report, published Friday by the Washington-based New Lines Institute for Strategy and Policy and the Montreal-based Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, also concludes that there is “serious risk of genocide in Ukraine,” and that states have a legal obligation to prevent genocide from occurring.

It cited denials from high-level Russian officials and state media commentators of the existence of a distinct Ukrainian identity, and dehumanizing claims that Ukrainians are Nazis and “are therefore deserving of punishment.” The report also points to Russian authorities’ rewarding soldiers suspected of mass killings in Ukraine, among other evidence.

Funny who you wholier than thou types have no problem supporting this as long as you can paint the US as the bad guy. Some of the people, all of the time.

Like I said, rationalize it how you want. You don't have to include me in those, though, I'm not Putin, I don't support Putin, and I have no interest in liberal politics as a lens for viewing the rest of the world. That is your domain if you so choose it.

Imagine not being able to support or even recognize any difference between Biden or Trump, then feeling the need to speak up in defense of Putin and justifying it with "one side has Nazis tho."
