Russia's unjustifiable war of aggression in Ukraine

You don’t know anything about American politics or world politics. But you are very good at virtue signaling.

Explain why the Republican Party wants to cut off aid to Ukraine, if they are only in the war in the first place to feed the war machine?

Also, you seem to believe that everyone in the US supports all American policies. Is the same in Ireland? No politics? Everyone in lock step?
The movie about Dick Cheney went into this, to be fair, Fed Up has a point.
 
The Soviets actually helped create modern Ukraine that is the ridiculous thing about the pro Ukrainian bots because Ukrainians fought for the Soviets but the current lot chose to support the fascist Bandera let it be remembered that Dr Aaoouh, catcha & Heraldo all sympathies with Nazis.
Tell us you have a horn for Putin without telling us you have a horn for Putin, Silkski

When did any of us refer to Bandera and nazis? Hyperbole and Godwin's law at work here

Give your head a wobble, don’t put words into my mouth

Silky is selective about historical events, partially because he doesn’t read history and partially because all his pearl clutching has but off the circulation to his brain.

So as he breathlessly talks about the Ukrainian nationalist Bandera, who both initially collaborated with the Germans (hoping that the Germans were going to support a Ukrainian state) and then opposed them (and was imprisoned by them), he ignores the fact that when it came to Nazi collaboration, no one did it more than the Soviet state (who had military ties (secretly) with Germany right from the end of WW1. It was the Soviets, for example, who allowed the Germans to develop their Air Force. And it was the Soviets who supplied much of the food and raw materials used by the Germans at the start of the war.

Bandera, of course, killed Jews and Poles, although not to the extent that the Soviets did. And Silky would have us forget that the Soviets annexed Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Eastern Poland. And in this annexation they killed or deported as many of the ruling class (officers, intellectuals, government workers etc) as they could. (Note that the Soviet Union held onto everything they stole after the war).

But they did fight and beat Germany (only AFTER they were attacked. So we are required to forget all of the terrible things they did. Basically, if the Russians did bad stuff, if was the fault of those nasty communists. If the Russians did good stuff, it was good Russians being Russians.

Good old Silky. Everything he knows about history he got from memes.

You also forgot a minor detail in history while the democracies did not get involved the Soviet Union supported the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War against the fascists.

😝

I can always count on you to try to provide an unrelated distraction.

Speaking of the Spanish Civil War, while Italy and Germany provided support to the Spanish fascists for free, Stalin made the Republicans pay for everything in gold, eating up the entire gold reserve of the Spanish government, after which no further aid was forthcoming. Also, the Soviets who came over to Spain to fight” spent much of their time fighting the other Republican factions while they tried to take the whole thing over. (And then, of course, Stalin had most of these people shot when they returned to Moscow).

I can see that the Spanish Civil War is another history you haven’t bothered to learn about.
