There it says: opinion. Not facts, but interpretation, evaluation, assumptions, filling of unknown gaps with dubious material. Read about John Pilger, you'll get the context. His framework might work in some cases, but not in this one. Since the 2022 invasion, the "leftist pacifists" were quite vocal here. Naivety, stupidity, lack of knowledge and sometimes desire for political gains finally emerged. As they say in the movies: "You have been activated!" Funny thing is I consider myself both a leftist and a pacifist, but I see no safe way out of this except Ukraine resisting to the aggression by your country and kicking your ass out.
russian "refugees" in EU countries will be a liability to all. Hopefully Germany will deny them asylum.
I saw a video of shooting at draft office in Irkutsk. Well, all recruits run away after first shot... Not a behaviour You would like to see from future soldiers who wants to "do some shooting" in Ukraine Worth noting, I would propably piss myself and run away too, but on the other hand, I'm not planning to do some "de-nazification" of another country
So now you think russian draft dodgers are victims of your government and should be given asylum rights? You gotta make up your mind: do you want your beloved Putin to win the special operation or not?
So that guy shot a draft commissar because his friend had received a mobilization letter. And supposedly he said something like "Nobody's going to fight. Let's all go home now". Wow! The runners missed the political significance of it all. More like revolution dodgers, fucking pussies.
Meanwhile, I think the topics in the russian threads are changing. No more "Let's kill everyone who isn't us", but, instead, "Oh, fuck, I would have loved to fight, but everything is so badly managed by the lower bosses". They're still hostile, it's just that their minds are busy with the immediate danger they're in - mobilisation. Fucking wankers. I bet some of them aren't sleeping well. Do you remember at the start of the war, the Ukrainian men who got their families out of Ukraine, then went back to enlist to defend their country? Or the Ukrainian women who are fighting - some of them even at Azovstal. I don't see this in russians. Fucking failed mob.
When it comes to mobgilization I've heard a joke today: Russia, UK and France announce, that starting this week every male will have to report for anal rape at the nearest city hall each Saturday. The UK government fell the same day. Violent protests overthrew the French government in 3 days. In Russia Russians started to queue at the city halls on Friday evenings, so as to have "more time off on Saturday".
The patriarch Kiril demands "spiritual mobilisation" from russians. In ruscist talk, it means "go kill Ukrainians". https://meduza.io/en/news/2022/09/2...obilization-from-russia-s-orthodox-christians
That's why I don't trust any clergy. Not just the RuSScist orthodox one. News here say conscripts are treated like pussies (Rus. "pizdy"). They are to buy tampons and sanitary napkins with them. The latter ones as shoe lining, tampons to treat shot wounds. How was that? World's second largest army? LMAO
Does it bother you somehow? If so, why is that? Also, don't you think you have more serious problems than this? Much, much later edit: If you were referring to Kiril's sect, I apologise for misunderstanding.
США сегодня взорвали балтийские трубопроводы из России в Европу. Наверно что бы Германия больше не колебалась в надежде на восстановление поставок газа. Хорошо быть союзником США.
Lunatic. It's Russia, who did it. Everyone knows it. Just wait for submarine surveillance station records. Baltic Sea is just a pond, you can't hide anything in it. US wouldn't risk making something like that in the Danish territorial waters, they'd do that in international waters instead - they're not that stupid - you are.
You actually did - some weeks ago. But the "excuse" was "technical reasons". Now you've got a better excuse. Terrorists.
It's either a Russian smear campaign against the US or Putin's having a tantrum and he started to throw the china. Or both.
