It’s kind of funny to watch libs having to do Olympic levels of mental gymnastics to avoid having to acknowledge the reality of Ukraine.

Yeah, the position of having facts on my side.

Ukraine forfeited sovereignty all the way back in 2014 when the democratically elected government was overthrown by the west to install the current fascist regime you support. Also, you’re the only one talking about any justifying. I’m simply pointing out the basic facts of the situation and that the war was provoked. Talking about justifications is a moral argument which I’m not making. But if you had any morals at all you obviously wouldn’t align with literal fascists.

Yes, the plan was published before the events happened. That’s how plans work, you make them before you execute them.

Meanwhile, The Hill article explains how easy it is to manipulate people of low intellect using propaganda:

I rarely agree with President Trump, but his latest controversial statements about Ukraine are mostly true. They seem preposterous only because western audiences have been fed a steady diet of disinformation about Ukraine for more than a decade. It is time to set the record straight on three key points that illuminate why Ukrainians and former President Joe Biden — not merely Russian President Vladimir Putin — bear significant responsibility for the outbreak and perpetuation of war in Ukraine.

I understand why you’re so upset though. After all, you undoubtedly support the regime in Ukraine because of your shared values.

I bet Andrii Biletskyi, commander of Ukraine’s Third Army Corps who just got awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine, a presidential decree is your role model.

The key figures in the Azov Battalion are its commander, Andriy Biletsky, and his deputy, Ihor Mosiychuk.

Andriy Biletsky is also the leader of a Ukrainian organisation called the Social National Assembly. Its aims are stated in one of their online publications:

“to prepare Ukraine for further expansion and to struggle for the liberation of the entire White Race from the domination of the internationalist speculative capital”

“to punish severely sexual perversions and any interracial contacts that lead to the extinction of the white man”

bold of you to assume that libs are aligned with the nazis out of ignorance

Not sure what part of premeditated action confuses you here. The paper describes how and why the war was provoked, and the benefits the strategic US expected to see from it.

And of course, the RAND paper isn’t the only document. Here’s an article from August 2021 advocating inflicting a military defeat on Russia in Ukraine to subjugate it and draw it away from China. https://nationalinterest.org/feature/strategy-avoiding-two-front-war-192137

Furthermore, the idea that NATO threatens Russia doesn’t even come from Russia. Plenty of western experts have been saying this for many decades, as anybody who’s not an utter ignoramus would know. This only became controversial to mention after the war started. Here’s what Chomsky has to say on the issue recently:

https://truthout.org/articles/noam-chomsky-us-military-escalation-against-russia-would-have-no-victors/

Gorbachev warned about this. All these experts were marginalized, silenced, and ignored. Yet, now people are trying to rewrite history and pretend that Russia attacked Ukraine out of the blue and completely unprovoked.

And even mainstream western media such as The Hill now openly admits the facts https://thehill.com/opinion/5198022-ukraine-conflict-disinformation

All of this is well documented and well known. Only a person of deep and profound ignorance would attempt to argue otherwise.

The paper literally describes how and why the war was provoked. Maybe spend a bit of time learning to read so as not to make a clown of yourself in public in the future.

The proxy war NATO intentionally provoked as was extensively documented in US policy papers such as this one, you are almost there kiddo https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3063.html

I sure did. Nobody is playing a victim here. What’s happening is that Russia has identified NATO as a direct participant in the war and is planning to retaliate in kind.

always has been

Yeah, I did, where is anybody playing the victim?

Weird how there are endless videos from Ukraine of this happening and not a single one from Russia.

Just imagine having a brain the size and shape of a marble.

huh?

I doubt anything will come out of it. The US is likely trying to get a freeze again, and Russia obviously isn’t going to go for it.

That’s also possible, it’s too early to tell at this point. If tanks can carry a lot of anti drone munitions, and the AI systems can target drones reliably then a few tanks together might be able to fend off a lot of drones. There’s also stuff like EV warfare and counterdrones as well. All this stuff is evolving rapidly.

Historically, a counter is developed every new weapon. Looks like that’s already happening. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2026/08/10/russias-fpv-stopping-arena-system-for-tanks-gets-combat-debut/

Thanks for making it, was a really neat concept. :)

Their hare brained scheme is to try and bully countries like Russia, DPRK, and China to stop trading with Iran through secondary sanctions. What they don’t seem to realize is that they’ve already managed to bifurcate the global financial system when they kicked Russia out of SWIFT, and this will just accelerate dedollarization of global trade.
