    I’ve said I’m not pro-Russia multiple times. The insistence by multiple comments here saying opposing Nazis in Ukraine is pro-Russia, says more about you than the people you’re accusing.

      Ah, so you acknowledge that Russia broke international law by invading Ukraine and Putin and other Russians are responsible for the crimes against humanity they’ve committed? Good.

        Yeah. At the same time I can acknowledge that the puppet government in Ukraine and NATO spent years goading them into that war. Every foreign policy expert warned it was a bad idea. Even war criminal Kissinger said the US/NATO were leading us into a disastrous proxy war years before it happened.

        That “other Russians” has me worried. Stinks of justification for violence against civilians.

          “They started it! They goaded us so ofc we’re allowed to do a full-scale invasion.”

          Fucking… what?

          The invasion is illegal. Against international law. And during it, Russia has broken several other international laws, committed crimes against humanity. And your answer is “well, uh, what about NATO?”

              There are. Ukraine, a sovereign nation (mooostly) in compliance with international rules is defending their borders against an illegal aggressor, Russia, who keep committing warcrimes of all sorts.

              So fuck your “both sides are as bad” you Putler apologist.

              Russian forces used chemical weapons 465 times between 24 February 2022 and December 2023, according to Ukraine, including K-51 grenades, RGR grenades, Drofa-PM hand gas grenades, and RG-VO gas grenades, which contain an unknown chemical substance.

              The International Criminal Court recognizes abduction and deportation as a war crime and the forced resettlement of children as a form of genocide.

              According to Ukrainian authorities, Russian forces have kidnapped over 121,000 Ukrainian children and deported them to Russia’s eastern provinces. Some of these children’s parents had been killed by the Russian military. The Russian State Duma has initiated legislation to formalize the “adoption” of these children.

              In March 2022, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights reported 270 cases of arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance of civilians, eight of whom were later found dead. The OHCHR informed the Human Rights Council that arbitrary detention of civilians, including 21 journalists and civil society activists, had become “widespread” in territory controlled by Russian forces and affiliated armed groups. Nine of them had already reportedly been released. The Human Rights Monitoring Mission also verified the arrests and detention of 24 public officials and civil servants, including three mayors, by Russian armed forces and affiliated armed groups of the self-proclaimed republics of Luhansk and Donetsk.

              That’s the first few I could be arsed to list.

                It’s not a sovereign nation. The US installed a far-right regime in the 2014 Maiden Coup. And being in compliance with international law isn’t a thing where “mostly” cuts it.

                  Yeah there’s just no end to your insanity and ignorance.

                  No need to source anything, just make absolutely batshit claims while ignoring all the massive crimes against humanity Russia has committed.

                  You’re pathetic and I really hope you get drafted.
