  • How many members do you seriously believe Azov has? Or any neo-nazi para military group in Ukraine? I've spoken to people who are in contact with anarchist groups in the country who say there weren't that many of them before the war except in Mariupol and that now most of them are dead anyways. I don't care about the Ukrainian government because of the reasons you mentioned and it's why I want the country to keep it's independence. Remember Ukraine became corrupt under the Russian sphere of influence (not a suprise since Russia is corrupt to the bone itself) the years leading up to the invasion most Nazis were also already been kicked out of government positions making it even more stupid to claim it's a country run by Nazis. You either are completely fried by Russian propaganda that you seriously believe the Russians are only facing opposition by nazis or people being forced to fight by nazis when Russia has now given groups like Wagner leading command roles in their offensive. Why are regions like Kherson, Svierodonetsk or Melitopol not celebrating being captured by Russians if they truly believe they're being liberated from Nazism? Read just any eye witness account from Ukrainians that live in either Russian occupied or formerly Russian occupied regions and see how they suffered. And before you start rambling about how those people are nazis too why the fuck did Russia decide to only kill civilians that are nazis while murdering the rest of them.



  • Why do you think I don't critically examine the Ukrainian side? I don't care about the Ukranian government, I care about my Ukrainian dishwaser at my job who worked for a corrupt mining company barely making enough money so his daughter could go study in Kyiv only for the war to destroy their dreams. Nationalism is a disease but every Ukrainian that I've spoken to isn't driven by some crackpot nazism ideology that the Ukrainian population will rule the world but that they want to give themselves the chance of a better life away from a govenrment steered by Russian puppets. I'm glad most of Azov is buried under Mariupol, I'm angered the Ukraine MOD denies responsibility for war crimes acted out in the east. But seeing how the Ukrainian people fight tooth and nail against a garbage imperialistic army like Russia to save itself from opression I can't deny I'm still glad Zelensky chose for his ego and didn't surrender.


  • I've been here since 2016 before this place turned into a tankie jerkoff club when y'all got banned of reddit. As an Anarchist I still like reading how you keep eachother batshit insane ideological tunnelvision intact on this site so I remember to regularly touch grass and keep in touch with my friends instead of fetishizing autoritarian swindlers.


  • I don't want to defend Zelensky, I have met many Ukrainian people though both when visiting the vacation several years back and now with many of them being refugees here in the Netherlands. Most of these people truly were hoping that their country could've been autonomous from Russian influence. They have already fought for their independence many times in history and are rightly afraid that if Ukraine surrenders the country will reverse it's developments on humanitarian progress and opportunities for future generations. Before you start about how Ukraine is also racist that it's corrupt etc etc, yeah everyone knows that especially the Ukrainians I spoke to. The fact that they are aware of it shows that the country can improve and at the very least do better in these regards then when it was a vassal state of Russia.


  • The option for peace talks were only available to Ukraine when it's position was much weaker in the war. Negotiating for halting hostilities would've most likely ended in southern ukraine being handed to Russia. This is also a scenario where Russia would've kept it's promises which history has shown is a rarity when it comes to Ukraine.


  • Yeah now look at the effects that sanctions have had on the export of gas and oil. There aren't many ways to transfer it via pipelines into Asia at this moment. European countries are moving away from importing energy from russia at a fast rate while export to the country has also been killed thanks to sanctions. This while Putin and Jeltsin did everything in their power to open up the economy for western companies. Shortages of resources killed vehicle production in Russia, there are shortages of food and other products in Russian supermarkets and the Ruble is surviving by a thread now that Europe tries to be independent from Russian energy sources. The already stagnating population in the country is now getting decimated on the ukrainian frontlines which will create even more labor shortages.



  • NATO will be able to station troops and headquarters everywhere around the border in Finland. Military budgets for NATO and EU have increased by huge margins and the EU has been it's most united since years. These aren't good things fuck EU and fuck NATO but ignoring that this invasion has strengthened western collaboration while being able to make a fist against countries oppossing (like Hungary) is just you being blinded by propaganda.

    The picture shows two obvious points of external damage at the front and back. At the same time the sea is very calm. At the very least Russia lied about it being an accident on board (since two points of external damage) or that it sunk because of a storm.
