There are very few in Russia who are against this war for the right reasons. It is a myth that this is Putin’s war and the poor meek Russian people are just going along with it. The vast majority in Russia are chesty thumping nationalists who support the war whole heartedly.

You are betraying all of the people who are against the war or are avoiding making themselves into nationalist cogs

I am betraying no one, I owe nothing to those people, again why do you think I personally owe these people I have never met anything. They were betrayed by their own leadership, stop trying to pass the blame onto me.

I have no hope for any anarchist revolution in Russia since they betrayed Nestor Makhno. Russians only know how to bow down to a strong warlord.

That’s how we get Mushroom Man!

The substance of your critique is what stands out as opposed to the critique itself. It is a common pro Russian talking point to dismiss the effectiveness of the sanctions on limiting Russia’s ability to wage war. The reality is that sanctions have only started to work now that the Russian state has started to run out of the 300 billion or so dollars of liquid funds to support the war. Russia’s current months long at this stage collapse is the result of sanctions starting to bite.

The majority of the Russian people support this war, fuck them, they deserve what they get. Why do you expect me to show more responsibility to mankind than the Russian people? That is your expectation, I genuinely do not give a shit about those warmongering pricks.

I was thinking this game reminded me of Another World in terms of the art style and game play. I just went off searching for the name of Another World because I had completely forgotten the name, should have just read the comments!

They were both published by Delphine software so they could have had some crossover there.

Da, comrade I shit in bucket before war, I shit in bucket after war. My brother Ivan went to SVO, he lost both legs but brought home real toilet for shit, great success!

He’s a good man, deserves at least a pint next time I see him!

It is better to have flawed third-language skills than to be a brainwashed cultist

I disagree, it does however give you the ability to look foolish in more than one language, well done! You for some reason accuse me of being a “cultist” without any indication of what my cult may be, enlighten me please!

I remember a time when the ziobots actually had decent arguments but the quality of your output has declined sharply recently. You, like the Zionist state have lost the run of the narrative, like all death cults Zionism can have only one end.

You are so dumb that is is laughable

Opening with an ad hominem attack, this should be interesting…

to control of Iraq resources and enrichment to military industrial complex

You are the cultist who believe your poor shitty country never hold no responsibility that it is always the fault of other countries and foreign influences

You then proceed with an unintelligible, illiterate diatribe. I was incorrect it was not interesting. I’m also from Ireland not the USA Einstein.

You should read about how the region was

You should read literally anything buddy, then learn how to write before playing with the big boys.

What I have was facts about Israel manipulating the US government, as they have been doing since their shitty settler colony came into existence 70 odd years ago. You gave me your opinion and feelings, stop being so emotional homie, losing will do that to you I suppose…

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. Only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

By the cops own logic we should be shooting cops on sight to make the streets safer.

We should always believe what Rubio says because he would never lie to us. Can’t decide if you are naive, thick, duplicitous or some combination of the three.

Never forget, it was Israeli “intelligence” regarding “WMDs” that got GW Bush to start his disastrous invasion of Iraq. Israel are not allies of the USA, they are the USA’s greatest threat and history will likely view them as their manipulation of US foreign policy as the reason for the downfall of the American empire.

It is unlikely that Iran would attack the US mainland but they could just continue attacking US military bases in Qatar, UAE and Saudi.

Oil is a globally consumed commodity, when the price of a barrel goes up this affects American consumers. The US has been using its strategic oil reserve to attempt to mitigate a politically damaging price shock. Oil price is the biggest factor affecting inflation that has begun to affect the American population since the war began. Trump does not fear the oil lobby who are currently making bank and, he fears an embarrassing defeat in the November elections.

Angry idiot annoyed at Russia’s continued incompetence resorts to attacking internet rando with ad hominem attacks that say nothing of substance.

A child’s understanding of global affairs says the commenter who eats up Putin’s delicious propaganda unquestionably. The majority of people believe they are of above average intelligence, this is of course impossible. I’m sure you are one of those believers, as Journey once said, “Don’t stop, believing!”.

You just reminded me of a friend who had a B.A. in psychology, an LLB (law degree) and wanted to either become attorney general or do an agricultural science (AgS) degree in order to have either BALLBAG or BALLBAgS as his qualifications after his name.

Yes, it has several meanings depending on the context. Used in the derogatory manner the other commenter used it in is nowadays typically reserved for American political discourse referring to social liberals. It can be used in the economic sense too but in general discourse this would not be the common modern interpretation of calling someone a liberal, Adam Smith has not been around for 100s of years now and terms change.

You appear to understand what the word means but you don’t understand how the word is used. I am sure you are not a native English speaker or do not speak the language at a high level.

You are not a socialist, I can see your comment history genius. All I can see is Russian bootlicking, Russia is the furthest thing possible from a socialist state. You can call yourself a tankie if you like, big difference but a more fitting label for your sort.

How do you know and do you always speak for them? A quick look at their comments and they seem to be obsessed with liberals, this suggests a more conservative mindset. If you have any further glimpses into the psyche of this angry commenter I would be interested to hear them.

If Russia had invaded the Baltic’s in 2022 there would have been a full NATO response no question. If NATO does not respond to article 5 there is no NATO in any meaningful sense any more and sleepy Joe would not have let that happen, he was also not afraid of Russia or compromised by them.

Invading in 2022, Ukraine was always the correct choice. Putin’s big mistake was not going all in at the beginning. This was a major miscalculation for Putin who is reportedly a great strategist, possibly in the interpersonal and political realm but definitely not in the military. Russia and Putin’s weird escalating boil the frog strategy has been a strange watch. It has allowed a slowly strengthening Ukraine to get back on their feet and back in the fight.

If Russia was to attempt an invasion of NATO today I believe the no fly zone would be over Moscow in a month, not Kyiv. Russia has recently started to use its more expensive SU-57 airframes as essentially artillery, lobbing stand off munitions from a distance. This indicates the cheaper SU-34 air frames are at their limits of usability. Europe has over 100 f-35 and about 1000 other 4-4.5 gen fighters. Europe also has a much larger population, 10 times the industrial manufacturing capacity and does not have 4.5 years of war fatigue. Europe stomps 2026 Russia low effort, I believe the tired Russian soldiers would surrender en masse if the real NATO showed up 4.5 years into the war.

We had the debate over Northern Ireland where there were two entrenched sides at war and it was US President Clinton that said that the UK should allow the IRA to run in the election. The UK said that they would never surrender to terrorists etc. (after having handed part of Palestine to Irgun) but eventually the IRA formed Sein Fein and were allowed to take part in the elections. They got 2% of the vote and the IRA crept away into the shadows.

The absolute ignorance you have of the history of the conflict in Northern Ireland is mind boggling. I have never seen so much incorrect BS in such a short passage of writing in my life, take a bow son, truly impressive failure!

Not surprising you get fairly easy to verify historic facts so wrong given your crazy take on how we got to where we are in the Ukrainian war.

I walked through the streets of east London 15 years after WWII and the rubble had been cleared and there was just miles of roads with no buildings. Winning is not as great as it sounds. It took decades to rebuild Europe. To make me see differently you need to convince me that war is worth it.

It sounds like you are trying to say it was not worth it for Britain to fight against Hitler and Nazi Germany. That is a bold take. As long as the Ukrainian people want to fight Putin and his imperial land grab I will support them.

The old saying goes that we need to know our history so that we do not repeat the mistakes of the past. Real life suggests that the general population is ignorant of history and would likely not understand it anyway.

You speak of the “ethnic Russian” people Putin was trying to protect in another land. This is the exact same excuse Hitler gave of protecting the Germanic people in the Sudetenland. This is the same lame excuse every imperial power has given for land grabs and you in your ignorance believe in it with no doubt in your naive little heart as you have clearly never read a history book. Dictators like Putin call people like yourself “useful idiots” as you eat up every little lie they tell with no questions despite how ridiculous it makes you look when you come out like this defending him.

China is training Russian troops to fight against EU interests in Ukraine while claiming to be neutral and in support of peace. China’s direct support in this manner is prolonging the war costing Ukrainian lives and making the war more expensive for the EU. China are now proven to be lying about a serious situation damaging their ongoing credibility.

China has done what they have done secretly because they, as you suggested fear secondary sanctions. China is now more dependent than ever on trade with the EU as trade with the USA decreases as a result of American foreign policy. The EU needs to hit China hard where it hurts, China has a massive national debt and internal debt and while they can possibly keep fighting the USA in a trade war no way can they fight a trade war with the EU concurrently.
