China to NATO: “[W]e will never forget who had bombed our embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. We need no lecture on justice from the abuser of international law…”

This entire saga with the west has just shown how important it is for global south nations to de-link from the imperial core in some fashion. To build our own systems to counter those from the west. Of the five monopolies, (nuclear weapons, communication systems, financial systems, technology and natural resources), the west has attempted to remove Russia from all of them except nuclear weapons, and that's just because they can't physically do that. China got it right in building its own systems in this regard to counteract the monopolies of the west.

azov militants using civilians gathered in house as collateral shields to deter a russian strike on them

from what I understand the Russian military's strategy is to encircle ukrainian units, then allow a corridor for anyone who surrenders weapons/proves they aren't part of the ukrainian military, particularly azov, but the ukrainian military according to testimonies of some in Donbass and Mariupol are not allowing civilians, particularly Russian speakers from DPR and LPR, to use the russian corridors, finding them more useful as human shields. This would imply that, despite the invasion, Russian federation cares at least a little bit about optics, even if only for cynical reasons.

FUCK CANADIAN MEDIA. FUCKIN NAZI APOLOGISTS. FUCK "JOURNALISTS" EAT MY COMMIE ASSHOLE YOU NAZI FUCKS!

The owner of a boat flying the flag of the Soviet Union in a Vancouver marina is refusing to take it down.

CTV News is reporting the city’s parks board has been inundated with new complaints about the flag, which has been flying for years, on the mast of a boat at the Heather Civic Marina.

“I think a lot of people are very, very offended by this,” said board chair Stuart Mackinnon.

Mackinnon told CTV a parks board staffer asked the owner of the boat to remove the flag, but they refused.

Associate professor of Central and Eastern European Studies at UBC Florian Gassner said it is likely the boat’s owner is ignorant or indifferent to the suffering associated with the flag.

Millions of people died, often starved or murdered, under soviet policies. The Holodomor terror famine imposed on Ukraine in 1932/33 resulted in around 3.5 million deaths. Russian invasion forces have also been using the flag in Ukraine.

“The flag is upsetting not just for Ukrainians who have family members there right now, but any Ukrainian alive today who has parent, or a grandparent, or a great-grandparent that suffered the atrocities of soviet rule,” Gassner told CTV.

The park board has no ability to compel the flag to be removed, as it is protected under freedom of expression.

Recently, other boats at the marina started flying the flag of Ukraine. The single Soviet flag is now surrounded by blue and yellow.

This whole ordeal proves that the entirety of the US would throw their support behind a fascist coup if a country in the global south achieves socialism

All it would take is a little push from establishment media

This war has sure made a lot of people online pretend to be experts on warfare and give advice that is somehow too simple to actually be useful, and still totally wrong.

Kremlin reacts to Biden’s harsh statement about Putin: "Given the irritability of Mr. Biden, his fatigue & sometimes forgetfulness, this leads to aggressive statements. We will not get into sharp assessments so as not to cause more aggression.”

lmao

Anybody outside of the US/UK, I need a sanity check: everybody else around the world knows that Biden is a feckless old man yelling at clouds and forgetting that he's president, right? They aren't fooled by any American propaganda that he's strong and knows what he's doing, right? Because the Kremlin clearly knows but I'm not sure how many American brainworms people have outside the imperial core.

Seem like Reddit battalions base get hit again

A British father who travelled to Ukraine to 'join the resistance' against Russia has fled back to the UK. Ben Spann, 36, returned to the UK after becoming worried he had joined a 'suicide mission'. He spent five days in a safe house in western Ukraine with four former British soldiers before deciding it was an 'absolute nightmare' and fleeing back to the UK.

:heartbreaking: unironically better than the average lib take on this issue

At the Ukraine/Poland border. Tired women and children leaving their country. They’re being pestered by American preachers telling them they all need to accept Jesus as their saviour and their lives will be better. Receiving a lot of eye rolls in response.
