this is the strongest proof yet that this whole thing was done on purpose to bait a Russian invasion. Just throwing the ukrainian people into far right crossfire to gather more artificial consent for US "preponderant" power.
Same as Carter arming jihadist warlords in Afghanistan to try bait the Soviets into intervening.
yes, precisely. This shit is like Operation Cyclone meets Operation Gladio, but instead of decades before we find out, it's obvious in a matter of weeks.
For sure It’s going to be a shite show for Europe when Russia invite their Middle East friends whom are blood-thirst and want revenge on the European after what they did to their countries. Yemen, Syria and Afghan insurgent is no joke, it would spill to all over Europe
Surprised more people aren't familiar with this stuff.
I assumed from the onset that at the very least, regardless of anything else, the US would just pour money and weapons into UA to create an Afghanistan-style quagmire for Russia and either force them to appear to be pulling out without having met their objectives (create terrible optics at home and abroad). That's more or less why I was so surprised that Putin actually did it. It seemed like a really obvious bait, but then again you can never assume the NATO/US powers haven't also lost the plot and might actually let UA join NATO. Sometimes after a few years these ghouls seem to forget what is part of the show and what they're actually supposed to be doing. At least that happened to neoconservatives.

Sort of new here, but this is obvious to everyone here right?
He has no skin in the game, he's gonna become a rich celebrity exile in the west, go on Colbert and Fallon preaching the virtues of western domination while the US works up the nerve to try another Iraq level invasion of some poor country
"iraq level" they'll either cave to ghoul pressre and fight Russia or cave under ghoul pressure and fight Iran, anyways it'll be much bloodier than Iraq and god knows i'd rather it wasn't
Also, Ukraine’s government dismantles labour rights during the war
Don't worry, though, folks: It'S JuST TeMpoRaRy.
As openDemocracy reported last October, the British Foreign Office was embroiled in a scandal over its advice to the Ukrainian government on how to push new labour legislation through parliament.
The leaked plan, marked with the logo of the British Embassy in Kyiv, noted that the proposed reforms were unpopular and recommended that the Minister of Economy “make its message easier and more emotional” in order to convince the Ukrainian public. With the UK’s support, the Ukrainian government has been pushing for the liberalisation of labour legislation, claiming it would make the country more attractive to investors and tackle informal employment.
I loved this part too:
A trade union spokesperson, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that “a joint representative body of trade unions opposed this bill”. He refused to criticise the bill publicly, for fear of reprisals. He explained that, in wartime, trade unions would not oppose the changes, which, he hopes, will be temporary.
Too afraid to criticize anti-labor moves openly. Yeehaw!

Social fascists do it again! :josus-stalin:
To be fair Montenegro joined nato in 2017 and it is much more pro Russian than Ukraine, the west can easily flip
No one cares what Montenegro does. It barely qualifies as a city, let alone a country.
It was Russia’s means of reinforcing Serbia. It matters if there is another race war in the balkans which actually might happen given what is going on that area right now. Serb areas want to break off from Kosovo and bosnia while the Bosnians are flirting with Albania.
