Ukraine told critics of the pace of its three-month-old counteroffensive to "shut up" on Thursday, the sharpest signal yet of Kyiv's frustration at leaks from Western officials that say its forces are advancing too slowly.
Now if Hitler, or one of his generals, said that the Poles didn't attack after all, what would you think of that? Might you take it as an admission that the Nazis had lied?
I concede that, if we live in your counterfactual reality where Hitler did the exact opposite of what he actually did, you'd have a point.
I know what you're trying to say but i think you're trying to stretch reality to fit your comparison instead of trying to make an accurate comparison around reality.
Maybe you should look for other real world examples that would fit your comparison better. I bet there are plenty of examples of nazis in nations fighting the nazis doing genocide denial during ww2 that you could find.
I mean hexbears are otherwise so willing to take Russian sources at face value, e.g. when it comes to claims about Russian speakers getting supposedly oppressed and genocided by the Ukrainian state... then why not trust Pregozhin? What makes him less trustworthy than Solovyov?
I can’t speak for everyone, but I definitely don’t find Russian media particularly trustworthy, we like to do a little thing called critical thinking instead of just blindly accepting things
Russian media is untrustworthy and I've yet to meet a hexbear user that says otherwise. We just also recognize American media to be untruswot. Good thing we're able to critique our sources and think critically
Oh there's plenty of other reasons to impeach Trump. Why would he even be impeached over that, though. I don't really follow US news, it's silly over there.
His first impeachment was over him extracting personal political benefit from sending weapons to Ukraine that they were using to carry out their ethnic cleansing
If the ethnic cleansing were 100% fabricated by Russian propaganda then the Hillary Cliintons of the USA are Putin bots.
You are aware that Russia already invaded in 2014?
No they didn't. They were already there. The biggest feature of Crimea is the naval base that Russia had been leasing since Ukraine had a legitimately elected government. When the US supported Nazi led coup regime took power they tried to cancel the lease. The Russians simply stayed put. They didn't invade. They were already there.
Are there any more fundamental understandings of recent history you would like me to catch you up on?
Ever wonder why they impeached him over some bullshit most people didn't give a fuck about in a country most people didn't know existed at the time instead of the mountains of evidence of his predatory behavior?
And that law forbids people from speaking Russian... how?
Love how liberals act really fucking smart 99% of the time and suddenly get really fucking stupid as soon as their shit is called on.
How about a friendly game of whataboutism? What about if the US right wing succeeded in making English the official language of the United States? What would happen to all the people who speak Spanish primarily?
(Psst... are we not talking about the killings then? All the pogroms and murders sure seem to have gotten left on the wayside of this conversation.)
The European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (ECRML) is a European treaty (CETS 148) adopted in 1992 under the auspices of the Council of Europe
The Venice Commission, the Council of Europe’s top advisory body on constitutional matters, said that several of the law’s articles, including article 25, “failed to strike a fair balance” between promoting the Ukrainian language and safeguarding minorities’ linguistic rights.
You have no clue what you're talking about. Maybe sit down and listen a little?
"You and I know what is happening in Donbass," referring to the conflict zone in the east of the country, adding that: "It certainly looks like genocide."
Putin has previously made similar comparisons about the war in eastern Ukraine including in 2015 and 2019.
Yeah considering that's what they were doing in Donbass
Even Prigozhin said that the supposed genocide in Donbas is 100% a Russian propaganda fabrication. Stop parroting that bullshit.
So you agree with fascist mercenaries? Cool to know.
I also think cake tastes good which aligns me straight with Hitler.
Okay but people shouldn't take you seriously on cake if your argument is "Hitler agrees with my take on cake"
How about me agreeing with Hitler on "Poland didn't attack Germany"?
Hitler literally claimed that Poland attacked german soldiers.
https://www.annefrank.org/en/timeline/24/the-start-of-the-second-world-war-germany-invades-poland/
Yes. You're getting close.
Now if Hitler, or one of his generals, said that the Poles didn't attack after all, what would you think of that? Might you take it as an admission that the Nazis had lied?
I concede that, if we live in your counterfactual reality where Hitler did the exact opposite of what he actually did, you'd have a point.

Maybe you should look for other real world examples that would fit your comparison better. I bet there are plenty of examples of nazis in nations fighting the nazis doing genocide denial during ww2 that you could find.
Well in this case it's more like even Hitler said "the jews weren't so bad at all"
Wouldn't it more be equivalent to Henry Ford or Hearst press during ww2 claiming that the nazis weren't brutalizing black and Jewish soldiers?
Nazi public figure claims nazis in enemy country aren't doing bad thing.
You didn’t need to cite hitler as the cake lover, could have picked anyone else
You didn’t have to pick the fascist mercenary army leader to agree with you on the other one, either. Yet you did for some reason
Is this supposed to prove anything but you have no scruples?
I mean hexbears are otherwise so willing to take Russian sources at face value, e.g. when it comes to claims about Russian speakers getting supposedly oppressed and genocided by the Ukrainian state... then why not trust Pregozhin? What makes him less trustworthy than Solovyov?

I don't trust Russia, but Pringles was not exactly an uninpeachable source of truth himself
If it's 100% fabrication then Trump shouldn't have been impeached
Oh there's plenty of other reasons to impeach Trump. Why would he even be impeached over that, though. I don't really follow US news, it's silly over there.
His first impeachment was over him extracting personal political benefit from sending weapons to Ukraine that they were using to carry out their ethnic cleansing
If the ethnic cleansing were 100% fabricated by Russian propaganda then the Hillary Cliintons of the USA are Putin bots.
You are aware that Russia already invaded in 2014? That this war has been going on for a while? Why wouldn't the US send Ukraine aid to defend itself?
Regarding the US reaction back then in general, though: Why didn't the US enforce the Budapest memorandum?
No they didn't. They were already there. The biggest feature of Crimea is the naval base that Russia had been leasing since Ukraine had a legitimately elected government. When the US supported Nazi led coup regime took power they tried to cancel the lease. The Russians simply stayed put. They didn't invade. They were already there.
Are there any more fundamental understandings of recent history you would like me to catch you up on?
You realise that Crimea is larger than Sevastopol and Donetsk and Luhansk are not on Crimea?
Also, that "US supported Nazi coup" is 100% Russian propaganda not backed by anything but fantasy?
Nuland/pyatt call at minimum shows that they took advantage of already existing protests to do a soft coup.
Ever wonder why they impeached him over some bullshit most people didn't give a fuck about in a country most people didn't know existed at the time instead of the mountains of evidence of his predatory behavior?
No. Yanks impeached a President over a blowjob, that is, any- and everything.
Nobody said there was a genocide as far as I know, but there were many ethnic cleansing attempts.
On the contrary calling Russia activities "genocide" was very common. Programmed morons.
Ethnic cleansing of Russian speakers by what, a Russian-speaking army?
By a government that passed laws against using their language and that detonated bombs on them
No such law was ever passed. You might be missing some details such as the Ukrainian army largely operating in Russian.

Note that I'm using an explicitly western funded propaganda vehicle for my citation. I didn't have to do that. I did it purposefully to clown on you.
Shut the fuck up. You just took a factual stand on a topic you did no research on. Your opinion is of no value. Stop sharing it.
And that law forbids people from speaking Russian... how?
Ukraine is in full compliance with the ECRML. Russia isn't even a signatory.
Love how liberals act really fucking smart 99% of the time and suddenly get really fucking stupid as soon as their shit is called on.
How about a friendly game of whataboutism? What about if the US right wing succeeded in making English the official language of the United States? What would happen to all the people who speak Spanish primarily?
(Psst... are we not talking about the killings then? All the pogroms and murders sure seem to have gotten left on the wayside of this conversation.)
This ECRML?
Huh, wonder what the Council of Europe thinks of Ukraine's language law:
You have no clue what you're talking about. Maybe sit down and listen a little?
By a Ukrainian Nazi army. Are you not aware of this? This is basic stuff you need to know before commenting.
Where do they get their tattoo inspirations from, Utkin?
What, the guy that Putin just killed? sounds like he has a better track record of killing Nazis than you give him credit for
I'm glad you asked
