The unmanned craft was due to make a soft landing on the Moon's south pole, but failed after encountering problems as it moved into its pre-landing orbit.

It was Russia's first Moon mission in almost 50 years.

Russia has been racing to the Moon's south pole against India, whose Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is scheduled to land on there next week.

No country has ever landed on the south pole before, although both the US and China have landed softly on the Moon's surface.

No report on whether or not Russia was attempting to use repurposed anti-ship missiles like the ones they use to attack schools and hospitals here on Earth.

This but unironically. In general though, there is nothing more galling than liberals complaining about Russia. You made it this way. This is on you. First you destroy the soviet union, then you reconfigure the politics and economy of Russia, and then you have the audacity to complain about the very thing you caused.

very-intelligent

Don't compare committing a violent coup against them with not having dinner ready you cynical piece of shit

[-] Sordid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Alright, I'll bite. Whom do you mean by "them" and what coup are you referring to?

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

That's not what they fucking said and also the comparison is senseless.

Ah yes, well known liberal checks notes George Bush.

Russia cannibalised itself after the Soviet Union fell, didn't need any Western help there.

The USA was attempting to destroy the USSR from day one. Despite being an extremely intelligent and educated person, you were never told that the USA actually invaded Russia within months of the October Revolution. Liberals are such a fucking joke.

“The USSR destroyed itself.” Give me a break. The USA’s entire existence derives from stealing land from indigenous people and enslaving and exterminating them. Because the USSR dared to declare that it was an anti-colonial, anti-imperialist, and anti-capitalist project, the USA dedicated everything to its annihilation. But thankfully the story isn’t over. China never broke with Stalin.

The bourgeoisie cannibalised Russia. Liberals from the west insisted that Russia and the rest of the Soviet republics would be ruled by the bourgeoisie. This was the whole point of the Cold War. At huge expense to its own citizenry the west conducted a series of proxy wars and led an arms race to make it as difficult as possible for workers to control their own destiny.

As expected, false scarcity and extreme inequality followed, and to justify or explain this inequality, the bourgeoisie used from the usual ethnic and sexual minority scapegoats. With your weird understanding of history, you're obviously American, so none of this should be hard to understand. You have people dying on the streets, the government won't even raise the minimum wage, but the news about the evils of Mexicans, blacks, trans people, etc. never stops.

The soviet union destroyed itself because it was an unstable pile of dogshit.

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 1 year ago

Wonder why it was made unstable in the first place? Ever wondered who contributed to the illegal dissolution of the USSR?

[-] Rod_Blagojevic@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

That states had to react to threats from the US never crosses their mind. The whole dissolution of the USSR and subsequent pillaging played out on the nightly news for years and I've never met a liberal that remembers it. They do vaguely remember that the USSR had an aggressive security state but can't ever understand why.

[-] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Most thoughtful liberal political analysis.

[-] UnicodeHamSic@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Man, we needed you decades ago. Imagine how much money we could have saved on thr cold war. All that threatening to destroy the planet for nothing. The genocides we did? Judt big oopsies
