Europe, very noted for being liberal and open to foreigners.
Basically openly threatening apartheid against Russians now, very cool.
I think more just giving them cover over their previous apartheid ways and the future of Donbas.
I've already posted about it but it was 99% of media-consuming Amerians' lionization of Zelensky that made me realize how hopelessly goldfish-brained the US is.
Not only was he re-elected, he won the popular vote! By 3 million! Between 1988 and today he is the only Republican nominee to have won the popular vote at all, and he did it by 3 million, off the back of his "success" illegally invading and occupying a foreign country, and turning Fallujah to dust.
Huh I wonder what Albert Einstein thought of Israel, he was kind of a smart dude.
Among the most disturbing political phenomena of our times is the emergence in the newly created state of Israel of the “Freedom Party” (Tnuat Haherut), a political party closely akin in its organization, methods, political philosophy and social appeal to the Nazi and Fascist parties It was formed out of the membership and following of the former Irgun Zvai Leumi, a terrorist, right-wing, chauvinist organization in Palestine.
Oh so he called them fascists? The ruling party for the last 50 years until Netanyahu was removed last year and the liberals took over and continued exactly the same policies? Interesting.
Today they speak of freedom, democracy and anti-imperialism, whereas until recently they openly preached the doctrine of the Fascist state.
:yea:
I'm gonna trust the guy who fled fascist Germany to point out when other countries are being fascist. Seems like the logical thing to do
Right.
And Ukraine, if they had their way, would turn Donbas into its own Gaza and the West bank. An Israel in eastern Europe.
trying their hardest to make me uncritically support Russia. I won't.
Damn, that's exactly what Ukraine is going to turn into isn't it? It's got the constant flow of weapons, the oppression of another group of people from breakaway states (not exactly settler colonialism though), the fascistic revision of history and fake nation-building mythos, and militarization of society reinforcing it all. Will have weirdo shitlib defenders in imperial core countries the exact way Zionists do. too.
Ukraine already has all of this shit, it will just do it more.
Fortunately unlike Israel, it doesn't have the power to treat the DPR and LPR as its own Gaza and West Bank. Unfortunately, that just means it will turn inward towards "fifth columnists".
Fortunately the DPR and LPR will no longer be part of Ukraine in any way by the end of this war.
Unfortunately other majority Russian speaking areas of Ukraine might not be so lucky.
They will begin settler colonialism of the territory Russia is going to be forced to give up .
I don't think the Russians are going to cede a territory that'd give them access to natural gas deposits in a region where they've already got a naval base.
The west will push for it, maybe. Or do a nuclear war. As they don’t care about Ukraine, but about crushing Russia, losing Crimea would be a good insult.
The west views giving Ukraine guns as a good way to weaken Russia for cheap they don't care enough for a war. What they are doing here is pushing for Ukraine to fight longer and ensure high casualties on both sides before agreeing to peace
Ukraine would want that but Russia is the stronger country here and will not cede anything and there is no way in hell that Ukraine is going to take it from them
:israel-cool: and :ukkkraine: maybe some gulf states forming the non-aligned of the 21st century.
They just haven't finished "decommunizing"/they just need to "open up" their economy more/their Slavic craniums just can't handle Democracy (TM) like Western European ones do!
:zizek-preference:
Online* MLs and baby-brained foreign policy takes. Name a more iconic duo.
*if calling out online anarchists is non-sectarian, so is this. Much love to the MLs I know IRL.
if we ever federate with lemmygrad you'll see plenty of sincere Putin stans
I'm not an ML nor an anarchist, I am a 100% pure-bred :LIB: just like everyone else on this site
Also it was a half-ironic joke because at this point I just want zelensky dead
So it will be a militarised fascist apartheid state?
I'm happy the comedian finally stopped lying.
very important to support ukraine, you see, as they are part of "The West". no, maybe not geographically or historically, but they share with us (like the Japanese!) the cultural and dispositional spirit of liberalism!
It was already on that path. What's an interesting development of this war is Zelenskyy going from existing in tension with the far right to just being the far right.
