I hate how “anti-war” has been hijacked by these people to mean, let imperialist countries invade whoever they want with no consequences. (in the case of tankies, any imperialist country that isn’t in NATO).

    • In an interview to Semen Pegov in 2024 former head of DPR Alexander Borodai explained that, in military terms, the Russian intervention in Ukraine should have started already in 2014 but Russia was not ready for that in economic, military and propaganda sense, which is why Russia entered the Minsk Agreements with no intention of complying, but it gave it time to prepare the full-scale invasion.

      Straight from the horse’s mouth. Ukraine was forced to sign those agreements at gunpoint. Russia violated it repeatedly and never fully implemented it. And Borodai confirms Russia never intended to keep to the terms.

      Bot detected. Russia violated ‘Trilateral Statement’ in 1993, when Ukraine agreed to transfer its nuclear warheads to Russia in exchange for security. And what do you think happened next, dum dum?

            I admit that I hate when propaganda machine whips people into supporting causes they should not care about.

            I have 0 to gain from Israel killing Muslims or Ukraine fighting Russia.

            This is exactly the same media companies that deny you a right to health care and sustain first past the poll system that keeps 2 shit parties in power.
            When media machine tells u to do something - u need to do the fucking opposite.

            Deny them war, for as long as they deny u right for UHC.

              This is where I’m going to have to tell you that I have more to gain from Ukraine fighting Russia than any American politican does. You see, I’m from a country that would be first in line to be invaded by Russia if NATO ceased to exist. I’ll never trust Russia the country, regardless of any purported left-right leaning of their leadership, farther than I could throw it. Which is less than one planck length because it’s a pretty big country, attached to the planet, I can’t throw it anywhere.

              That’s not to say I hate all Russian people or anything. Most of the ones I’ve known have been chill and hate Putin too.

              Some three decades ago, us Estonians, along with our brothers in Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine and many other country, managed to become free of Russian oppression. Nobody wants it again, and clearly Ukrainians are pretty proud of their independence too, otherwise they’d be laying down their arms en masse.

              I do wish there could be peace, but Putin’s ego won’t allow him to settle without any significant territorial gains and while there’s war, I for sure am rooting for Ukrainians who, idk if you’ve heard, this, are the defensive side in this war. They did not roll tanks into Russia out of the blue.
