  • All governments are Authoritarian, I’m still waiting for proof that Russia is doing anything of the sort (no, rescuing orphans from war-torn cities is not mass deportations of children it is humanitarian aid, many such cases exist around the world of NATO aligned countries doing the exact same thing).

    There is a history of evidence of the Donbass bombing before the SMO, and that was a targeted attempt to ethnically cleanse a region, however this was perpetrated by the Azov nazis. The classification of the Uyghurs as a genocide has been disputed by many Islamic countries, as well as the UN itself.

    What country has systemic and codified apartheid? Strange claim to make, lol

    Consider the hypothetical, Texas has decided to secede and has had a majority of the population vote on a referendum to do so. Rather than becoming independent they wish to join Mexico, Mexico agrees as there is a large portion of Texas that speaks Spanish and there is a historical precedent of Mexico owning that territory.

    The rest of the United States doesn’t want this and considers this illegal, a nationalist division of the U.S military decides to engage in sustained artillery bombardment of the cities: Dallas, Austin, and Houston.

    Mexico seeing the devastation of people now considered Mexican organizes two separate talks to try and work out some sort of cease fire and pathway forward that respects the will of the people. The nationalist division pays no mind to any sort of agreement and continues the bombardment, Mexico decides that enough is enough and sends its military in to secure Texas as well as destroy the nationalist division.

    In this analogy, the United States is Ukraine, Texas is the Donbass, and Mexico is Russia.

    Sadly war is hell, if only the peace talks weren’t sabotaged by Boris Johnson otherwise the Russia-Ukraine war would be over.


  • I’m not so reductive to say I “hate” anything, rather recognize the massive inequality that capitalistic imperialism has caused.

    I would love to see how you can present Russia as an imperialistic country, surely there is evidence of the wealth extraction of Ukraine. Even the grain is being supplied to poor countries at no profit, whereas under Ukrainian control it was sold to the E.U for money. Is there some mineral, oil reserve, what is being extracted from a foreign nation to enrich Russia? Or are you using a different definition of Imperialism, if so, care to define it?

    You do realize that the region currently controlled has had independence votes and are ethnic Russian? This is the reason why the Nazi Ukrainian Azov division was committing an actual massacre on them by years long artillery campaigns?

    Regardless of the initial decoupling event, the subsequent economic actions have proven the capability of the Russian state to withstand the most potent economic weapon of the west.

    Canada has a rich history of welcoming Nazis after WW2 to the current even of a standing ovation for a Nazi. Do you have anything of substance to say, or will you continue your ad-hominum laden circlejerk of hatred for anything that dares to question your puny worldview?

    I would actually argue that most people of the United States and Canada would struggle to draw a map, let alone one of Eastern Europe.




  • Did you read past the post title before firing up your meme folder to participate?

    In earlier correspondence with The Telegraph, Dr Peter Daszak, the British zoologist and president of EcoHealth Alliance, said that its work >with WIV did not fall under restricted gain-of-function research.

    “None of the work changed animal viruses so they can infect humans – they only infected human cell cultures and that’s a big difference,” >said Dr Daszak.

    He also said the experiments were exempt because the original viruses were not infectious to humans.

    However, White House officials told The Telegraph the work did fall under gain-of-function rules and would have required review.

    Gerald Epstein, former assistant director for biosecurity and emerging technologies at the White House Office of Science and Technology >Police between 2016 and 2018, said: “I oversaw development of the US government’s enhanced potential pandemic pathogens (ePPP) >policy usually referred to as gain-of-function.

    “EcoHealth claimed that their work engineering bat coronaviruses could not have been ePPP research because the original viruses were >not pathogenic to humans. That is apparently their position, but it is clearly incorrect.”

    So Epstein (lol) a man who works with the US government is claiming that a lab he has never visited has violated the ePPP policy, while a >researcher WHO did work there and is NOT Chinese is stating that it didn’t.

    There is just as much evidence that the leak came from Fort Detrick however the “lab leak theory” for COVID is cope and not relevant to the average person especially since the world has decided the pandemic is over, to stop masking, testing, or providing immunizations.


  • So explain to me how Russia is dumb for successfully taking and holding, Crimea and the Donbass?

    Are they dumb for reacting to a line they have drawn multiple times? Are they dumb for preventing Ukranian nazis from bombarding anyone suspected of being Russian for years?

    Canada is now applauding Nazis while Russia burned them alive under Mariupol, are they dumb for doing that?

    Is any other country that has created a warzone for geopolitical reasons, “dumb”? I would say any country that is a warmonger is evil, thankfully the country that pays me to post is peaceful.

    In addition, they have successfully decoupled their economy from the west while the European industrial complex has weakened to the point they are now serfs to the Great Satan.
