If you are a Russian speaker in a currently occupied area of Ukraine..

That is simply untrue. Don't swallow Russian propaganda without thinking. Thousands of Russian speaking Ukrainians are fighting in the Ukrainian Army and National Guard. Untold numbers of Russian speaking Ukrainians are celebrating the freeing of their cities and villages from the Russian occupiers.

Russian collaborators are in a bad place they put themselves into so they are fleeing. But that is no surprise. If you join up with an invading army and help man the torture and interrogation rooms in the new police station your neighbors usually aren't too happy about it.

You are correct, I am denying that the war is about denazification (Ukraine is no more a Nazi regime due to the presence of the Azov Battalion than is Russia due to the presence of its Wagner Group), biolabs (the US involvement was limited to cleaning up Soviet-era labs, not developing secret bio weapons targeting Russians), or NATO expansion (Ukraine was no where near getting accepted into NATO). As for the meaning of “de-satanization”, you’ll have to ask your Russian friends as that is the latest propaganda line from the Kremlin.

All of the above are simply rationalizations from Putin to justify his attempt to reunite the greater Russian nation.

I’ll go even further with Putin’s “denazification” rational. As Putin links Ukrainian nationalism with the Banderist support of the Nazis in WW2, his “denazification” pledge is really a code word for de-Ukrainization, i.e. the elimination of the idea of Ukrainian nationalism.

...should have know that Putin doesn’t bluff about Ukraine.

Is that what the memo from the GRU told you?

Please provide the names and phone numbers of them.

BobL wants to share them with his GRU and FSB handlers, perhaps that gets him a day off and some bonus rubles.

There is nothing going on in the present leftist government in Canada or the US that has anything to do with culture or civilization except cancelling them.

“Nice try. Tell them it's better to not even try to ‘normalize’ the Ukrainian Biolabs - we all learned what they're capable of over the past 3 years.”

You mean US Nazi neocons created covid ?

As the Russians have clearly stated repeatedly, that Americans, you for example, simply refuse to acknowledge Minsk II and their many warnings to stop shelling the territories, directly on their border, they are now taking by military force.

They’ve stopped listening to Americans and are prepared to settle the score militarily. They will enforce the terms of Minsk, and whatever else they want, and there is nothing troublemaking Americans can do about it but shoot off their mouths.

It was written by Putin himself. If you don’t trust the Wikisource link, here’s one from the Kremlin website: http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/66181

“It was written by Putin himself.”

That’s progress, you’re no longer claiming that I made the statement.

Nice try, but I never said you wrote the article, I said you agreed with it. Don’t you remember saying, in reference to my linking to the article: “The other stuff, that Ukraine is an artificial nations, that’s obviously to anyone without blinders.“? It was only a short while ago.

Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, to name a few. These are fine examples of success stories we’ll use as models to “help” Ukraine antagonize Russia, a country with 6,000 nuclear weapons.

Wait until Europeans think long and hard about who destroyed the gas pipelines that will cause them so much grief and misery.

What is wrong with you?

What as happened to this site there seems to be lots of Democratic Underground types now...you asserting something does not make it true...this kind of stuff (propaganda) works on NPCs (masses) not real freepers...you need to provide concrete facts...from what I have seen from objective third party news that does not seem to be the case.

Even just looking at the size of the two countries and capabilities it is unlikely...you need to put down the kool aid...maybe you are a paid bot there seems to be so many now.

No, we just don’t like part timers and newbies here, as they draw suspicion.
