  1.  @smlorrin  OK, doomer.

  2. Much like Putin and other dictators, they love the IDEA of the military. They love the idea of conquering, of glorying in their military prowess and waving around their newest and most phallic weapons. They're just not so keen on the actual soldiers, especially those who are un-manly enough to get injured, suffer mental trauma, or demand decent pensions.

  3. The worst part is that the soulless beasts from the troll farms will be spinning up the standard DARVO script about how it was actually Ukraine / a military base for NATO mercenaries and biolab mosquitos.

  4.  @harmless6813  Let's go for "centuries". Time to break this cancerous mafia state for good.

  5.  @wedgeantilles8575  Always funny watching the right mewl and bleat about how they're really the oppressed ones because people stopped laughing at their punching down. Continue dancing for our entertainment.

  6.  @wedgeantilles8575  And you've chosen the "fake outrage" page from the thin-skinned conservative script after getting called out. Standard stuff.

  7.  @bloggalot4718  The difference is that Joyce appeared to honestly believe he was a British patriot and that Britain and Germany should join forces against communism. He was hideously misguided, but he had ideals. Carlson is a mercenary.

  8.  @emmata98  "Whataboutism" is a Soviet-pioneered propaganda technique, whereas cricitisms are not answered directly, but distracted from by pointing out something that somebody else did. Whether the counter-accusation is actually relevant or stands up to criticism is not important, the intent is only to divert the attention of the audience.

  11.  @blabla1177-r7u  Be careful. If you mention atrocities against ethnic minorities, people might start looking into what Russians did to the native people of Siberia and Kamchatka and you really wouldn't want that.

  12. Russia goes home and returns what they stole. Anything less sends the message to the world that terrorism and nuclear blackmail work. World security demands the catastrophic failure and visible punishment of the terrorist state.

  13. No, he knows what he's doing. He's either waiting for this to blow over so he can resume sucking on the Gazprom teat, or he's a useful idiot who's in Putin's pocket.

  14.  @shurely2559  Just remember that every time you hear someone in the West say that. Dictators LOVE political apathy, and seek to disenfranchise and confuse voters, or to numb them with bothsides rhetoric, every chance they get.

  15. One good thing is how much the nuclear threat has been devalued, not just from endless repetition, but also from their delivery missiles being shot down by a 30-year-old defence system.

  16.  @georgesibley7152  Oh, you mean the astroturf Kremlin-funded insurrection, along with the actual self-confessed Russian "little green men" there to false flag? Also, the war criminals who murdered the passengers on a civilian airliner, lest we forget.

  17.  @danielmiller3781  Nah, they just switched on to the script about how that was never really their plan to begin with! Part of fascism is to never acknowledge defeats, or admit that your past objectives were any different from what you're doing right now.

  18. Yeah, the stance on Ukraine has been the embodiment of "Even a stopped clock is right twice a day."

  19.  @bobwallace9753  Allowing nuclear blackmail to succeed is the greatest escalation possible.

  20.  @jounik  Problem is, "the requirements" remain subjective, introducing the risk that a Putinpuppet might decide they haven't been met and sandbag for his master.

  21.  @andersjjensen  So do we. It's very clear Brexit was a disaster on every level (except for a handful of super-rich). The problem is that it's a lot easier to fool people than to persuade them they've been fooled.

  22.  @stephenpaul4258  Hate speech report lodged. May you soon be drafted, botski.

  23.  @rorychivers8769  Not unassisted. Look up Cambridge Analytica and other Kremlin-backed psyops. Russia duped us like they'd dupe the US later in the same year.

  24.  @rorychivers8769  Apart from anything else, we have a certain national sympathy for a country standing alone against a fascist superpower that tries to bully them into submission through bombing civilians. Standing strong during the Blitz has long been at the centre of our national mythology.

  25. The Trumplicans have been telling you what they are for a very long time. They are a cult that seeks to rule rather than govern. Vote, and mobilise everyone you know to vote.

  26. That has not yet been proven.

  27.  @a5cent  Hopefully we can rejoin you before too much longer. People are waking up to how we fell for a psyop from Putin and the 1%ers, and the Conservatives burned their last shreds of goodwill with Truss' brief but apocalyptic time in office.

  28. That's disingenuous, the money and weapons were already heavily monitored and accounted for. He was leaving his options open in case he decided to go with the Russian propaganda narrative of Ukraine stealing it all.

  29. Allowing Putin to claim anything from this war is also escalation.

  30.  @richardx6884  It seems a reasonable presumption, unless you can point to anything that Actual Ukranians have said about letting Russia steal more land, and condemning their friends and realtives to ethnic cleansing?

  31. Botski reported, may you soon be drafted.

  32. Money, and targeted propaganda. The far left get told Russia is heroically standing against American neocon imperialism, while the far right get told how Russia's super-cool strongman leader is purifying Europe of all that decadent tolerance.

  33. Putin triggered this event. Not one other person in the world.

  34.  @JakeBroe  Always remember, Russian disinfo isn't about presenting a believable story. It's about muddying the water with conflicting narratives. They don't want people to believe them, they want people to believe nothing.

  35. It also doesn't apply to any of Russia's 21st century wars.

  36.  @tomcarr1358  They do--there's still a severe infestation of left-wing tankies who are pro-Russia on the basis that they just support whichever side the US isn't on. Russia likes to "negotiate" so they appear as the peacemakers in ending the wars they start....but not giving up anything they stole. Just like in Chechnya, they use peace to recover their strength and then move back in a few years later to finish the job.

  37.  @tomcarr1358  I have a vague feeling that we're kind of in the same situation as the 1930's. Twenty-odd years out from a war that was sold as a glorious defence of freedom, but which turned into a murky, morally ambiguous quagmire that produced nothing except body bags. And now, everyone's a bit cynical about war and the statement of leaders, reluctant to believe what the media says, nobody wants to kick off a repeat of the old war...and that gives a tyrant room to make their move.

  38. They don't need to be civilised, they just need to be defanged and caged. Let them snarl all they want from the far side of a DMZ.

  39. Even from the most selfish "Germany first" point of view, this is still destructive to Germany. They have told the world that they are unreliable when it comes to allowing their weapons to be used. Neighbouring countries are likely to be reluctant to buy weapons from the Germans ever again--if they're denying permission for them to be used against an existential threat to all Europe, then what else might permission be denied for?

  40. Ritter is a kiddy fiddler, convicted twice. Bring that up every time you hear his name, vatniks hate it.

  42.  @jonson856  Did you know the term "Mainstream Media" as something to be disdained and ignored (because it was a liberal puppet not giving you the hard truth) was pioneered by Josef Goebbels?

  43. Well, congratulations on getting out of the cult. Because that's pretty much what it is.

  44. Would you say it's worse than Italy or Greece?

  45. The idea that "things would be so much easier if these people just 'went away', along with villifying them in the eyes of the world to make sure nobody really cares what happens to them because they're all wrong 'uns anyway. It's like the run-up to every genocide.

  46.  @Rocket_scientist_88  People said the same thing about Trump in 2015. Nothing can be taken for granted any more.

  47. It's what happened to a lot of indigenous people across the Americas, Australia, Africa and beyond. The difference, small but significant, is that the West acknowledges the evil they did and tries to stop it happening again. Russia glorifies it.

  50.  @adolfolerito6744  If it's a young man, he's quite likely to shrug and join anyway. Transphobia and homophobia are demographically the domain of millenials and older, and the younger generations are much more likely to consider it unremarkable. Russia goes for a hyper-macho military culture and promotes a MAYANLY image (with lots of hazing, sexual abuse and rape of civilians), and...well, look at how that army is actually working.
