Nathan Murphy said:The Newspaper and Mamut series are just plain bad—cringe is probably the best way I can put it. Honestly, Matanić is overrated, and his obsession with pushing those Scandinavian-style shows, which are inherently dull and lifeless, is just painful. They rely way too much on those poorly executed slow-motion shots.
Law is law 😁 Maček is easily one of the better TV characters of the 21st century. Personally, though, I still think our best series was the other Gruntovčani. The mere idea that some people think the Newspaper or Mamut are superior shows is just laughable.

Goddammit! It’s not just going to be Russians and Ukrainians getting screwed; everyone in the European Union is about to feel the squeeze too...

Yeah, I actually have that series sitting right there on my hard drive, but I just can't seem to find the time to sit down and actually watch it. Honestly, when am I ever going to get around to it?
Kyle Campbell4 said:How? Yes and no. There was a ceasefire in effect until the separatists started the provocations and the shelling themselves, all just to give that midget an excuse to bring the army in. And even if they did what you claim, they still have every right to liberate their own territory within internationally recognized borders, rather than letting those Russian chetniks carve out some kind of frontier.
Steven Fox37 said:It’s honestly hard for me to take any Ukrainian claims at face value when they've already shown how willing they are to twist the truth and play games. Of course the Russians disagree too, but they aren't the only ones, and the Russians aren't the only ones being backed by the entire Western media mainstream that prints every single lie as gospel across a million newspapers and sites.
The whole "fake state" thing isn't really relevant here because nothing would satisfy those Chetniks except a "Greater Mexico." A better comparison would be Americans living in certain parts of the country who have been getting pushed around by local factions for decades.
If Americans reacted tomorrow the same way people in Donbas and Luhansk do, I highly doubt anyone would call them "Chetniks." In fact, it would probably be the exact opposite—people would likely be talking about signing up for a volunteer militia, and suddenly nobody would care about "internationally recognized borders" anymore. Isn't it funny how easily "the right to self-determination" and other lofty terms get tossed in the trash the moment someone we don't like uses them? It’s the same deal with Catalans, Basques, Scots, or Irish; we support them even though their goals don't align with official borders.

From what I can see, we've got two major hits today—the US banned Russian energy imports, and the Poles agreed to hand over Migs to the Ukrainians. 🤷

From what I can gather—and I try to stay informed—Zelensky hasn't been using chemical weapons against the Russians.
He didn't go invading neighboring Moldova by declaring it twenty-two different Ukrainian oblasts, much like how someone might act in Kuwait.
In Ukraine, for instance, you don't have minority Greek Catholics ruling over a majority of Orthodox Christians—unlike the situation in Sunni Iraq or Alawite Syria.
The President of Ukraine won through free elections; meanwhile, President Assad wins with 101%.
President Zelensky hasn't destroyed a single one of his own cities—Assad is the one who leveled Aleppo and Homs.
The West certainly has plenty of blood on its hands.
But honestly—and I mean this sincerely—only malicious or foolish people would attempt to compare Russia's actions in Ukraine to what happened in Iraq and Syria.
In Ukraine, for instance, you don't have a minority ruling over a majority—unlike, say, Sunni rule over Shias in Iraq or Alawite rule over Sunnis in Syria.

The West has done plenty of terrible things.
But honestly, only malicious or incredibly stupid people try to compare Russia's actions in Ukraine to what happened in Iraq and Syria.
Noah Roberts46 said:Look, when Assad was busy gassing his own people while the whole world watched, who even cares about that anymore? 🤦
The Gulf War happened, what, over ten years before Iraq was destroyed? Even if it had been at the exact same time, is killing half a million civilians considered "crossing a line"? I have no idea how those psychopaths sleep at night.In Ukraine, for instance, you don't have a minority ruling over a majority—unlike, say, Sunni rule over Shias in Iraq or Alawite rule over Sunnis in Syria.

Yeah, comparing a conflict where over half a million people die to one where a few thousand die is nothing but pure malice.
And don't give me that lecture about democracy. We all know why the West went in there and why groups like ISIS were being armed. Anyone with half a brain knows the truth. There are a thousand places under dictatorships where human rights are trampled (look at Saudi Arabia, not to mention their mess in Yemen), but the West doesn't intervene because they have good relations and profit to protect. The reality is that these interventions killed massive numbers of people and triggered huge refugee crises. But nobody gave a damn. The West’s hypocrisy and moralizing is a joke; they've done much worse.

Admiral Lošo—that pro-Russian genius—just went absolutely nuclear, hitting at a level ten intensity. He’s connected everything—from COVID and reptiles to the Khazars and the October Revolution—all just to argue that Ukrainians aren't even a real nation and are basically Nazis. 😬
He keeps saying, "everyone is asking where I am," but honestly, after five minutes of listening to that podcast, it's pretty obvious he was just getting some "specialized training" in Moscow. 😬
