    I saw Russian bombs fall from the window of my own house

    I hope to God that they win so that the collective West gets socked in the face,I couldn't give less of a fuck about if they're imperialist or not

    Maybe NATO exists in the background to you people in the heart of the empire,but all we have over here, on the absolute frontier of it, it's warnings that stray drones might fall on us, jets whizzing overhead and the quiet nighttime concert of booms and the brief flashes of explosions that the poor people that just happen to live on the other side of a river have to live with because of the games played by people an ocean away

    Russia winning will finally put an end to this atrocity,and I couldn't care less if they're not the USSR

    The more this circus goes on,the more people die and the possibility of it coming from the distance to my own house directly increases

    Fuck the architects of this atrocity and fuck the puppets that rule our nations who treat us people on the border like acceptable losses

        If you don't wanna risk doxxing, I'd delete. You don't need to prove anything, this is a safe space and I believe you

          In all honesty I just wanted to post the photo

          Not everyday you get a shot like this,even if it was really scary when it happened

      Didn't know we had Ukrainian comrades here. Sorry for what my country has imposed on your people. Hope this war and the terror it brings comes to an end soon. Stay safe comrade o7

      I agree that the most realistic scenario ending the war soon is the victory of Russia, and so for the sake of all the people on both sides who suffer from the war it's what I desire right now. A peace negotiation mediated by China would also be desirable but sadly it doesn't seem like Kiev is willing to do that.

        Alright,but why not offer critical support to Russia then? As much as I should hate them,I find myself hating the nations that caused this instead. I don't like Putin,I don't like the Russian Orthodox church,I don't like the Russian Federation as it currently is,but they would be a great improvement over literal Nazi rule by Ukraine.

        If I had to pick over reactionary capitalism that is somewhat opposed to Western capitalism and literal Nazi battalion backed NATO puppet regimes,I will always pick the first option, regardless of how much I disagree with them.

          Offering critical support is one thing, saying that "volunteering to the Russian army is based" is quite a bit beyond that imo

            I wasn't exactly addressing that, because I don't really have a position on it

            If someone wants to throw their life away in this conflict,at least it would be for the less bad side

            My concern was mostly with how you said that Russia is 90% Hitler to NATO's 99%

            Using this abstract measurement,I would say that that is the case only internally

            On foreign policy they're not even comparable to the evil that NATO unleashes on a daily basis

            Eastern Europe has a history with Russian Imperialism, and many wounds still remain open from the time of Tzarist Russia,that couldn't be mended by the Warsaw Pact, and being pro Russia will never be a popular opinion here,but personally,I can say that even if Russia would want to create a new sphere of influence around the area,it would be a more palatable alternative to NATO

            I'm not a Z poster by any stretch of the word,but I can see the writing on the wall

            Either we remain under the US yoke and we march to our doom,or we trade it for a Russian one and maybe maintain some level of agency. This is how it's always been in this part of the world,see sawing between empires,and with one waxing,it would be a smarter thing to start gravitating towards the closer one that isn't exactly all that powerful but represents the only conceivable opposition in the area

            Volunteering to support a nation resisting imperialism, and fighting to defend a nation from literal Nazis (not neo-Nazis even, OG Nazis) being armed and used by the greater worldwide imperialist system of NATO and the collective west so as to further their hegemony is "not based?"
