And you still have not responded to my question regarding Putin's screed denying Ukrainian statehood. Giving Putin anything (appeasement) when he actively denies the legitimacy of a state is and uses falsehoods such as "denazification" as a casus belli is not a good strategy.
- pydry 4y agoNATO is an offensive alliance. In the last 20 years it has targeted 4 countries in unprovoked fits of aggression. It didnt have shit to defend against. No, that still doesnt make what Russia did ok. >And you still have not responded to my question regarding Putin's screed denying Ukrainian statehood Coz you edited it in and I didnt see it. It's propaganda for the Russian masses / Russian speakers in ukraine. It's their WMDs. Im not defending it. It's bullshit. Nonetheless when peace negotiations happen that screed will be irrelevant. It's NATO military bases in mariupol and odessa Putin cared about not some nebulous sense of Ukrainian identity. >uses falsehoods such as "denazification" Eh, if this were all made up lies German magazines probably wouldnt be publishing photos of Ukrainian soldiers with swastika tattoos. Zelensky actually asked Azov (the Ukrainian army batallion founded by an avowed white power advocate) to back down after he was elected to try and end the war in donbass. They told him no, presumably because they dont take orders from a Jew. They did very badly when they tried to get elected but being able to say "fuck off we actually want to continue this war" and having your president defer to you does signal that your country has something of a nazi problem.
