MODERATORS
They still think this war is because Putin woke up one day and decided to invade because he’s just crazy and evil like that.
Also the cope about the casualty rations. Afaik Russia hasn't gotten to 100k dead while UA has lost half a million.
My last info was that russia had lost around 56 thousand. But that was a while ago(and ironically from a pro-ukr source), did more reliable numbers emerge?
Total deaths are probably around 100K but wounded are far larger.
This is your brain on idealism
I heard from multiple liberals with no knowledge of Russia that Putin is trying to recreate the Russian Empire.
From what period? Who knows? Will the pale of settlement be recreated, but maybe this time replacing Ukraine with an autonomous Jewish republic (interesting possibility that should've been done in the 30s, but I don't blame Soviet leadership for not wanting to be the ones that incite the holocaust)?
Is this an empire that will include Siberia and the far east? What about the former Beasarabia region? Will it go to Russia or the Ottomans?
Why, and why suddenly now? Who knows?
Do liberals have any idea what they're talking about? We'll never know.
Most importantly, do liberals have a massive amount of unexamined racism when it comes to Russians?
It's amazing to witness. Over 100 years of US public policy, foreign and domestic, is entirely based on weakening Russia so it can be pillaged by the richest Westerners. We literally don't have health-care because we need the money for munitions used to threaten Russia. Countless US citizens die so we can menace Russia. Our domestic police state exists to suppress left wing movements that consciously or not take inspiration from Lenin and Russian worker organizing. Social conventions have developed that will lead to you being unemployed and ostracized if you too vigorously insist that maybe Russia = Bad fails to really explain anything.
This is all made possible with deliberately cultivated racism, completely uncommented on by libs. Absolute idealism. No intellectual rigor at all. Just pure smugness.
Sleepy Joe, during the debate, unironically said something along the lines of Putin wants to conquer Kiev because it was a part of the Soviet "Empire". Its pure cope and projection.
Also " few hundred thousand young russians". They a) believe the obviously made up numbers of the Ukr command and b) believe the myth of russian draftees
Bruh Ukraine put out propaganda that they’re killing 1000+ Russians again and everyone took their word again.
But also them ebil RuZZkies ran out of bullets two years ago, and now all they have is broken glass from vodka bottles because the Slavic brainpan is too shallow to comprehend manufacturing supply chains
Shows how deep their rabbit hole is if this is the only version that absolves them from asking "Are we the baddies?"
The Putleryzomic chemicals are instilled in every slavic brain since conception.
