The Russian economy is on the brink of collapse, with industrial output falling and major companies initiating large-scale layoffs amid the economic fallout from the war on Ukraine

Russia’s red lines are that:
Absolutely wild to call these “very reasonable”. These red lines are “be our puppet or else”
Ah yes, NATO is all about Ukraine “defending themselves”. That must be why NATO has a history of provocative actions against other nations and lying. Real trustworthy
Ukraine is all about Ukraine being able to defend itself. NATO just happens to be a powerful bloc that has the capacity to defend Ukraine against what threatens it
If Ukraine’s method of defending themselves means NATO then that isn’t defending themselves.
They should just roll over and die then, should they? Is China about to extend a guarantee to Ukraine? I can’t think of anyone else that could meaningfully face off against Russia in Ukraine
If ukraine was allowed to install nato weapons, usa would use that to nuke russia, then go to attack china, and then the bezos and zuck and other creatures would enslave and kill every single nonwesterner
But westerners want that because they are inhuman racist monsters
When the euros say “russia will invade europe and kill us all” they’re doing projection, they’re projecting their own cololonialist fantasies onto those they want to kill, to make up a reason for their rabid crusader behavior
If the US was going to nuke Russia, why on Earth would it need Ukraine? It already has Finland, Estonia, and Latvia if it wants a friendly launch site that’s on the border, or Turkiye or Romania if it just wants somewhere close. Besides that, the missiles are “intercontinental” ballistic missiles; they do not need to be on the border. This explanation does not hold up in the slightest.
Okay then we should put the nuclear missiles back in cuba
Okay? I am not even slightly in favour of how the US treats and has treated Cuba. The US doing fucked up stuff does not in any way justify Russia doing fucked up stuff
Ukraine trade with EU is not a reason for war. US led coup that installed nazis that put apartheid laws, and then exterminated areas that wanted autonomy is a reason for war.
Russia annexed Crimea literally a matter of weeks after the revolution. There was not even any time for the interim government to apply policies for Russia to respond to. It also annexed Crimea before the war in Donbass started, so your explanation makes even less sense there. Your conspiracy theory about the US installing the guy that would have absolutely obviously been the leader of an interim government anyway does not help.
Palestine freedom anti genocide protesters started Oct 8. They knew what was coming. Nazis questioning Russia’s access to naval base was a natural nazi move, but not going to be entertained. Liberating Crimea was the most obvious area to liberate first. Was never going to accept or deserve nazi rule.
US was involved in fabricating protests, covering up the nazi black flag assassination of protesters, and blaming it on government forces, caught on tape hand picking successor government position. That the coup resulted in the “obvious leader post coup” is not much of a justification for a coup.
What do Palestine protestors have to do with this?
A base that was in Ukraine. Fucking hell, listen to yourself. Imagine if someone said “Oh well it’s a natural Nazi move to question America’s access to Guantanamo Bay.”
Russia didn’t liberate shit. Russia took Crimea.
Caught on tape saying that the existing leader of the opposition is the guy that would be the head of the interim government. That’s about as much an indication of guilt as an election pollster calling a safe seat correctly.
If America wanted Yatseniuk in power so badly, why did it do nothing to keep him in power?
I guess you defend the attack on Fort Sumter too then? Same logic
How on Earth is the aggressor in a civil war the same as the defender in an international war?
I can tell reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit….or memory
Go on then. Be kind and explain your comment to me.
Crimea was a gift from Khrushchev at a time where people are still alive. Not much Ukrainian migration to Crimea happened in meantime. Ukraine’s neutrality was part of the constitution that their independence was gifted. Crimea does not want to be ruled by nazi pig filth. To you, pro NATO nazi pig filth, awesome. Romanian anti-NATO nazi pig filth, straight to jail.
Poroshenko even better nazi, with bonus privatization under capitalist ideology corruption. Helped CIA/US State department finance and media manipulate coup. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petro_Poroshenko
Oh well if it became part of Ukraine in living memory then I guess that makes it absolutely fine, and on that basis the UK is completely within its rights to reconquer Pakistan, which was a gift granted in the partition of India
Are you arguing for ethnostates? If you aren’t, it does not matter how many ethnic Ukrainians lived there
Oh, right, another guy who was voted out. Why did the US not install him instead of Yatseniuk, then? Why did they let Zelenskyy beat him?
Thank you for doing the lord’s work. You’ll never get past the Russo-pilled parrot speak but it’s a joy to read sane comments.
Edit: The guy has 1.7k comments in 4 months and literally every one reads like it’s pasted from a propaganda LLM. Drives me nuts that you can’t have a normal conversation on the internet without being assaulted by this shit…
TIL the bri’ish natively live in pakistan???
Fucking western cololonialists
I have some shocking news for you about how Russians came to live in Crimea
Zelensky ran on a peace/Minsk compliance platform. Got the Russian vote. With his own nazi, but more moderate nazi, media support. Everything was going to come up CIA anyway.
lmao, right, so basically no matter what happened it was the CIA. That’s very convenient.
You keep throwing the word “nazi” around quite a lot. Explain what it is, and why Ukraine is ruled by nazis now.
