Like I mentioned in my last post, I tend not to dwell on politics much, but I accidentally came across an article in Politico about the history of Russian colonialism in Alaska, and just when I thought I couldn't hate Putin any more...ooh boy. Read it here.
I have a legitimate question for the “we need to stop arming Ukraine and end the war” leftists. I’ve been wondering this for a while and I sincerely hope someone answers this!
If you’ve paid any attention to what’s happening in Ukraine (which might be asking too much of Westerners, idk) you’ll notice that when a territory is liberated from Russian occupation, soldiers find: torture chambers, executed civilians, and hastily-dug graves. You get horror stories from survivors of occupation about rape, child kidnapping, and people being dragged out of their houses with their hands bound being their backs to be shot. It happened in Bucha, in Izyum, in Kherson. At this point, we should 100% assume that these horrors are currently happening in the territories that Russia still holds. If we cut aid now and push to negotiate, and Russia gets to “keep” any of these territories, it’s not just redrawing lines on a map. It’s condemning people to brutal occupation and ethnic cleansing.
Most importantly though, to anyone saying “ask the Ukrainians what they want instead of forcing a war on them”: have YOU talked to a Ukrainian? Even one?
For right-wingers, I understand why they are against sending aid to Ukraine. But leftists supposedly care about other people and want to make the world a better place, no matter what it takes. Why would you turn your back and condemn people to brutality and murder when you can make a massive difference, without personally lifting a finger?
the world has to wake up and act as if Putin is an existential danger, because he is
France, Europe, USA, NATO, and the justice-loving countries of the world must get off their fucking asses and help defend Ukraine, which has demonstrated that it has the heart and wherewithal to go toe-to-toe against the Russian army
World, boots on the ground already!
stop being such pussies
show Putin how fucking wrong it was to invade Ukraine, so that he does not invade any other sovereign countries in his drive to be known as a great leader instead of the stupid, evil, fucking coward that he really is
Zelenskyy acknowledging the Indigenous genocide in Russia. Part of his speech.
"We will also make a special emphasis. Emphasis on the fact that criminal mobilization is used by Russia not only to prolong the suffering of people in Ukraine and to further destabilize the world, but also to physically exterminate men - representatives of indigenous peoples who live in the territories controlled so far, temporarily, by the Russian Federation.
The situation in the occupied Crimea is catastrophic. The information about the Crimean Tatar people is fully confirmed: most of the mobilization letters are given there specifically to qırımlılar. This is another element of Russia's policy of genocide, another reason for the immediate and tough reaction of the whole world.
The same is happening on the territory of Russia itself. This is a deliberate imperial policy. This is a blow to the peoples of, for example, Dagestan and the entire Caucasus, to the indigenous peoples of Siberia and other territories.
And I want to repeat it once again.
Again in Russian, specially for Russian "comrades".
And this is not a kind of collection of peoples in Russia, not badges or flags somewhere on the map, no. These are not candy wrappers - these are real people.
And only now you are beginning to hear it, yet still not everywhere.
We see that people, in particular, in Dagestan, began to fight for their lives. We see that they are beginning to understand that this is a question of their lives. Why should their husbands, brothers, sons die in this war? In a war that one man wants. In a war against our people, on our land. He does not send his children to war."
The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy explains what is happening right now.
Please spread the word and support us, we are in trouble, genocide and ecocide are still happening.
We really need the help and support of the democratic world. We are fighting for freedom for the whole world, it's just that some people don't have enough information and people may not understand.
Judging by everything, the orc fascist empire has a significant influence on social networks and the world media.
The Kremlin has invested a lot of money in the information war, they are very cunning and insidious, they have a lot of practical research in propaganda, this must be countered.
OK, so I've been seeing MULTIPLE posts on my dash about Palestine and I'm thinking, "Yeah, but what about Ukraine? Don't any of us still care about them?" Keep in mind that Russia and Iran are allies.
What does having a standing ovation to a documented WWII NAZI war criminal in the Canadian Parliament have to with Russian propaganda and disinformation ? (then he blames Russia for it)
