Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Sounds like someone's mad about the obvious being stated. People do get that there are Ukrainains who don't want to live under Putin right? Apparently they're supposed to suck it up and stay in an Occupied Ukraine?
who's mad here, and what's obvious? are you seriously buying that Putin's goal is to restore the USSR? as laughable as that is yeah I can imagine banderite nazis would hate to live under Soviet Union II
It's a leap to say that this is a threat. It's not absurd to say that a country losing a war would lead to a refugee crisis? That literally is what always happens. Calling it a threat is to act like he said "if we lose, we will consciously make an effort to hurt our former allies". It's ridiculous and shows how the OP of the article is Big Mad that Ukrainians don't excitedly want to be forcibly realigned to the Russian sphere of influence.
Did you read the article?
He's not saying "if we lose the war, there will be a refugee crisis". He's not talking about hypothetical future refugees.
He's saying that if the west stops supplying Ukraine, the millions of Ukrainians already in western countries will react badly.
And from there, it's not a leap to call it a threat.
