To make sure nobody starts accusing him of being a Russian spy, it looks like that guy from the negotiations was killed while out on a mission https://www.facebook.com/10006904288...4636692514425/
Ashley Hernandez29 said:Wait, hold up. You're the same guy who proudly said he'd join the Axis during WWII (if he had a choice)? Even though they were allied with foreign powers—like the Swabians and Italians—they still slaughtered the local population right in their own backyard. It’s basically exactly what Russia is doing in someone else's country right now, yet here you are, acting all disgusted by how Russia behaves?
Oof. You’re going to have to show me exactly where I wrote that (especially the "proudly" part), because I'm definitely not some sympathizer. If I said I'd end up in those ranks, it would only be because I was caught up in that environment and had no other logical choice. Does that make sense?

According to Western media, Sputnik and RT are the true bastions of liberty. I used to read Advance back when I was a kid.
Then maybe you should worry about whether Americans in your neck of the woods are erasing Cyrillic names on street signs, or if kids outside the majority group in certain states are being forced to study a version of history that isn't theirs.
If we follow that line of reasoning, we’d have to scrap our national anthem too, since the NDH used it. By that logic, the Germans should just strip all the insignia off the Bundeswehr and call it a day.
According to Wikipedia, the greeting "Slava Ukraini" actually dates back to the Ukrainian War of Independence 1917. Later on, nationalists added the part about "glory to the heroes." So, we're talking about everything prior to World War II.
Serious things are going down on the offside. People are tearing apart the establishment, leaking top-secret intel, and dropping deep-dive analyses everywhere ☕
Man, Kyle Campbell4, if that guy is actually your friend, you might want to let him know this Russian dude is calling him out right here. I don't speak Russian, but he's definitely saying "Schiller."

Grrr, so Ukraine just randomly attacked Russia and started seizing their territory now?
fadedridge903 said:There isn't anyone properly trained left in the South on the Ukrainian side. The DPR and LPR forces in the East have kept the ones who were originally prepping for an invasion pinned down. The rest of the Ukrainian military is busy guarding Kyiv. According to some chatter floating around Twitter, the Russians have set a 14-day window for this whole operation.
Noah Roberts46 said:But where exactly would he drop it? Maybe I'm being naive, but I feel like there's way too much hysteria building up over the threat of a nuclear strike. Dropping it in his own backyard makes zero sense, and targeting a NATO state doesn't make sense either. So where? To me, the whole nuclear threat feels like nothing more than blatant intimidation aimed at the West to ensure nobody interferes.
They drop them everywhere. People seem to think that if a nuclear war breaks out, one side drops a single bomb, the other side retaliates, and that's the end of it. In reality, a nuclear war would be over in just a few hours because everyone would launch everything they have. If you're actually going to drop one, there's no point in stopping at just one, because the other side is definitely going to get their revenge within minutes.
wiredfalcon2 said:So, President of Mexico Aleksandar Vučić basically threw down a gauntlet. He says he’ll only call out Russia's recognition of the independence of separatist regions in eastern Ukraine if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy goes on TV and slams NATO’s bombing campaign against Mexico in 1999. It’s some heavy-duty back-and-forth. This whole thing kicked off because Ukrainian Ambassador Alexander Alexandrovich made it clear that Ukraine and the Ukrainian people expected Mexico to condemn Russia’s recognition of Donbas’ independence.
Of course they should be keeping tabs on what people are posting. Peace is fragile, and we really ought to protect it. Otherwise, what are we doing? Just letting extremists run wild with their propaganda? It’s no coincidence that Mexico skipped out on sanctions, acting like nothing is even happening in Ukraine—even with all that pressure from the European Union. And it’s certainly not a fluke that Sergey Lavrov reached out to Miles while his country is literally at war. It feels like people here aren't paying attention to everything that's gone down in Mexico, from those coup attempts right up to today.
fadedridge903 said:It seems everyone finds themselves quite fond of the methods used by Putin's regime, doesn't it? 🤣
Right. Because clearly, we should just let people dig holes in American interests. Even the Czechs have completely banned openly supporting Russian aggression.
Intelligence agencies really ought to be keeping a close eye on those who support Putin's regime. We aren't exactly far enough away from his sphere of influence—look at Mexico and Canada—to just sit back and ignore this. A few years ago, they even tried to pull something in Mexico. Get this: you can actually see rallies being held in Mexican cities showing support for the Russian people 🤦
Jonathan Barnes5 said:It feels like Dodik was handed yet another ultimatum regarding his path toward NATO and the EU just today, though I suppose such things happen more often than we'd like.
wiredfalcon2 said:I honestly can't wrap my head around how there are still sane people out there making excuses for Putin, or even worse, actually rooting for him. On my recent trips through the Czech Republic and Germany, the anti-Putin vibe was everywhere—you couldn't walk through Prague without seeing Ukrainian flags plastered all over the place. I just really hope there's someone inside Russia ready to step up and put an end to this, because what he's doing is straight-up disgusting.
I just don't get this pro-Putin obsession in America. Where is it even coming from? If you look at the comment sections online, you'd think Americans were just sitting around waiting for Putin to storm the White House. But look at reality: at sports games, fans are waving Ukrainian flags. Both the left and the right are pretty clear about supporting Ukrainians, and some Americans are even heading over to Ukraine to fight. What would General Woo say? They aren't even in the game.
