Russia's unjustifiable war of aggression in Ukraine

[Dr. Aaoouh]

While the Soviets were liberating camps the Ukrainian nationalists were supporting the Nazis.

You’ve never met a Russian propaganda statement you didn’t like, have you?

There were more Russians in German uniforms than there were any other non-German nationalities. And Ukrainian nationalists (someday you may actually read a book about what the Soviets did in and to Ukraine in the two decades before the war) were always a minority. Millions of Ukrainians were in the Red Army.

So those camps being liberated (as if that was ever a main Soviet war goal) were also being liberated by Ukrainians. You know, those people you believe don’t exist. Fucker.

Yeah Ukrainians in Soviet uniforms.

 

[Dr. Aaoouh]

Yeah Ukrainians in Soviet uniforms.

You talk like they were something else.

But then again, you think that Ukraine has a Nazi government.

They might not be a Nazi government but they do like Bandera.

 

[Dr. Aaoouh]

They might not be a Nazi government but they do like Bandera.

And you like Lenin. So what?

Do you know how many people the Russians killed trying to destroy any hope of Ukrainian independence. Yet here you go on about “evil Ukrainian nationalists”.

 

[fed up]

Still searching for good news.

Growth rate. How interesting. Price of oil must be going up. Or mail order brides. In any case, if you want to use growth rate as a measure, then Russia falls far behind mighty Macau at about 24 percent.

So Russian GDP is about the same as California and New York combined. How exciting.

One of Russia’s many problems is that it is still basically an oil economy. Oil goes up. Oil goes down. Unlike Saudi Arabia, which has tried (poorly) for decades to diversify its economy since one can’t depend on oil forever, Russia, which could diversify, isn’t. Is it? I mean on a modern level? People don’t seem to be lining up to buy Made in Russia products. Are they?

This is all Putin’s fault, by the way. And he knows it. But he’d much rather pretend to be some combo os Stalin and the Czar than fix his country.

Russia's economy is now driven by the war. They can neither afford to win or lose that war or their economy would collapse.

Yes. But maybe just as important is that Putin needs this war. It’s his war. After a third of a century vacuum in the Russian identity after socialism, Putin wants to leave behind some kind of sustaining theory for Russia. I don’t think that there was sort of sudden desire by the Russian people to invade Ukraine. But Putin wants to set up a new myth of a spiritual Russian people bringing their spirit to the rest of the world. (Or rather, go back to an old 19th century myth).

I don’t really think the Russians are buying it.

 

[an liathroid beag]

Yeah Ukrainians in Soviet uniforms.

You must be swotting up on your history as you know that millions of Ukrainians fought in the Red army against the Nazis!

 

[catcha]

Russians will attack Ukrainian railway lines to slow down the transport of aid to the front lines.

In other news..... Polish women are complaing that Ukrainian women are taking their available men and there's not enough of them to go around......lol.

I understand that boner is posting ancient fakes as he was banned for a while, but you could spare us this nonsense.

And yet they are taking down Red Army monuments.
