@leonardoorellano6652 It was a never a "civil war" in Ukraine. There were russian special forces and wagner in the Donbas and Crimea, from the start. Don't repeat putin's propaganda, it's ugly as hell.

@leonardoorellano6652 Without russian special forces there would have been no unrest in the Donbas and Crimea. Girkin, Prigozhin admitted it freely. And to be honest I'll listen to them before I listen to a troll like you - at least they were there and they knew what they did.

@ericcooper8173 Let's just drop this whole family metaphor between Ukrainians and russians, ok...? Ukrainians hate it, and for good reason. Try telling Irish people that the English are their "cousins", and see how that goes. Same.

@kdexter2690 brexit was immensely stupid - the campaign was funded partly by a russian oligarch, so it didn't exactly come out of nowhere - but it's hard to be "very doomed" when you have free universal healthcare

@khaartoumsings Except that russia is still at it - you may have noticed that the British Empire kind of moved on

@kdexter2690 I live in the UK and I'm not one bit jealous of healthcare, workers' rights or the electoral system in the USA.

@R-Tap kremlin bots chatting to each other there, so sweet 🙄

@ericcooper8173 That's because those are historical Ukrainian lands, stolen by the soviet union about a century ago. Ukrainians are a different nation, and the fact that some people have mixed heritage doesn't make the two nations "cousins" any more than Kamala Harris between half Indian, half Jamaican makes India and Jamaica "cousins".

@daniel31337 The "Ukrainian civil war" angle if trolling has long been debunked, keep up. So many of the people who have opposed Russia's invasion since 2014 - who took part in the Maidan uprising, even - are/were native russian speakers. The people brutalised by russia in Mariupol in the spring of 2022 were mostly russian speakers. russian has been violently imposed on the Ukrainian population over centuries, first by the russian empire, then by the soviet union, then by putin. Read some actual history and stop posting stupid comments.

@daniel31337 The world was not "peace before 2022" - not least because Ukraine was invaded by russia in 2014. By the way, "internet knowledge" = research. And you don't know what I've learned through my own research and what I've learned from people I know and communicate with. I have a Ukrainian relative, also a russian speaker, 100% pro-Ukraine. Sort yourself out and stop venting at people online, it's an ugly and stupid thing to do.

@daniel31337 Again: how are you deciding that I'm not speaking to "real people"? Btw, "integrating into western institutions" is very close to a russian propaganda soundbite..

@ericcooper8173 Mixed heritage is a thing and yours sounds great. Not the same as pronouncing two quite different nations, one of whom has historically oppressed and is currently trying, again, to destroy the other, as "cousins".

@emillio_gonzales Serfdom is a form of slavery. And serfdom in the russian empire was much worse than in medieval Great Britain, though clearly different from the Transatlantic Slave Trade. You may have noticed that countries like the UK and the USA are no longer engaging in appalling practices such as enserfment, famine and population displacement - "once a vile empire, always a vile empire" is not a maxim that anybody sane lives by.

@D-Dirt I very much want to insult russia. russia has brought it upon itself. And this "part of something bigger for centuries" schtick is utter bs. Unless you think that Ireland, the Caribbean, India and much of Africa should still be in the British empire

@supermind65536 I'm hardly the only one in the world who's aware of the facts I mentioned in my comments. You know, "facts", as in "things that have actually happened and are demonstrably true"

@alexmangorove Much of the world is actually moving on from this sh*t, or at least trying to. Except russia and its few allies

@Scrat335 From russia?? Hell yeah. That's why trump and his puppet master putin are having to work so hard to turn the US into russia 2.0, and there's still a good chance they'll fail.

@Inf1niteDreams No, it does not. And tbh I'm fascinated not so much by the amoung of kremlin trolling under this video, but by the style of trolling: most comments here, like the one I'm replying to, are pushing the "nihilistic" strand of kremlin propaganda - "Nothing matters, there's no such thing as truth, no such thing as hope, you can't believe anyone anyway, you may as well let putin destroy Ukraine and the world...blah blah blah". "Competitive hopelessness", Timothy Snyder calls it, and he's so right.

@emillio_gonzales deliberately twisting my words. Trolling 101

@khaartoumsings 🥱🥱

@D-Dirt No, it's not. And everybody knows it. Stop trolling for putin, it's ugly as hell.
1
@D-Dirt Nope. Stop trolling, it's ugly
1
@D-Dirt It's all colonialism.

@emillio_gonzales Yup. That's why all if you trolls are throwing these massive tantrums. I honestly can't be bothered to trawl through this extra long thread just to remind myself of what you may be referring to.
1
@emillio_gonzales It is mildly amusing that you don't seem to know what a troll is, since you are one. Whatever, goodbye.
1
@emillio_gonzales You do know that repeating that someone is a troll doesn't make that person a troll, right...? Kind of like saying that Ukrainians are actually russian doesn't actually make Ukrainian russian.

@emillio_gonzales 🥱🥱🥱

@ТаняСкворцова-э9ю True, but russia in its various incarnations is definitely a close contender - especially considering that it's trying to turn back the clock, while the UK at least isn't repeating all the vile things it's done throughout history
1
@khaartoumsings They can actually vote people into office and out of it. Some Americans are currently raising hell to stop putin's favourite puppet and his cult from messing with election results so he can get back into power and stay out of jail, but for now, your statements about the USA are just typical troll fare.

@zdravkoavdalovic3131 I protested against the Afghanistan war from the very beginning, and the way it unfolded and ended sadly proved us protesters right 😢 But even I don't see the comparison with russia's invasion of Ukraine, because at least the US decided to bomb the country sheltering the mastermind of a huge terrorist attack on one of their cities. Let me repeat: it was wrong, it was stupid, it was vile, it destabilised the whole world for decades to come (if we're lucky, it could be centuries), but the USA still had a clearer and better reason than the rf did to invade Ukraine in 2014 and 2022.

@robertjohnston8116 this is a long thread, you're going to have to be more specific

@zachemny It's one of the "nihilistic" type bots... "nothing matters, there's no such thing as truth, might as well let putin screw you over" 🤮
