Feels like Ukraine is using the "American Youth Pastor" model of PR. Just take something that's currently popular and try and turn it around to male it about Jesus/Ukraine.
:ukkkraine: Alright guys, let's rap about how if you pronounce this word with an H instead of a J, you're a sub-human monster
It's astounding how fast Ukraine changed in the western liberal imagination. It went from everyone seeing it as a backwater country full of drunks, child abuse, and shady energy deals to some kind of golden beacon of democratic civilization. This happened over a few weeks.
I'd really want to know what liberals would think if Russia invades somewhere they hate, like China or I don't know, Hungary.
Eurolibs don't hate Hungary, they hate the Orbman and even that only as long as he keeps calling Putin based.
any country would be portrayed as a beacon of freedom and democracy if it was invaded by russia tbh
god if russia invaded saudi arabia or north korea libs heads would explode wouldnt they
Giving them too much credit. "Ukraine? Is that a province of Russia or something?"
Iraqis got the same treatment. They went from Evil Sand N-Words to Brilliant Freedom-Loving Patriots as soon as boots hit pavement in Baghdad. Then they vacillated between the two as necessary for domestic media consumption, alternating between oppressed freedom fighters yearning for democracy and soulless jihadist savages who would rather do America-Hating terrorism than accept our enlightenment.
Afghanistan took the same route, particularly at the beginning and tail end of the occupation, when "Poor hard working all-girls high school robotics team" played opposite "Scary bearded man yelling at nice blonde reporter lady in foreign devil tongue" on the evening news.
Either way, it is always the White Man's Burden to rule these countries until they can be brought into the light of modernity, like in... uh... checks notes Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
It's a state composed of a PR Team in place of a civil government and a big-ass military with a blank check from an even bigger-ass military.
Would that the country were only a crack team of Baghdad Bobs, telling everyone who would listen that we're always winning aktuly. The war would be wrapping up now, rather than settling into a protracted series of artillery bombardments and spec ops assassinations.
i know about ukraine's nazi problem but I didn't realize they also had a liking pedophilia and monarchism problem
No shortage of Ukrainian "Mail Order Brides" and other human trafficking victims, either. And for all the same reasons.
Lots of women came out of the Eastern Bloc in the 80s and 90s as "Models". Hell, that was Melania Trump's road to the First Lady post. She'd spent her entire youth in Yugoslavia, starting modeling work at 5 years old and continuing until she was able to leverage her career into a path to US Citizenship through marriage. Western exploitation of the old Soviet States was heavily focused on sex tourism and sex trafficking, and still is to this day.
Dumb, but also just foreign policy. Even Cuba is "mourning" the queen and expressing condolences. This is a pretty tame statement that Ukraine pretty much has to make, so I'll not hold this particular statement against them. Now to just double check that they haven't made any statements that they were not pressured into in this way that would be more difficult to excuse...
I regret to inform you that cuba and china did not post "rip bozo, packwatch" on official channels of international diplomacy 😢
Honestly a little surprised some social media account out of Qatar or Dubai didn't post "Another KKKracker down" with a big red X over the Queen's face. That's about the speed of Gulf State Plutocracies atm.
even the most corrupt republic need not recognise a monarch :nyet:
Ukraine( the government and the army Atleast) also considers slavs as subhumans while believing that Ukrainians are pure aryan blood Europeans.
No. Near the beginning of the war the Defence minister tweeted something about Russians being Orcs and "Not even slavs" https://twitter.com/ClintEhrlich/status/1504277927571066883/photo/1
Lizzy lived off the profits of genocide and war. Ukraine has been in a civil war and trying to genocide a quarter of its population for 8 of its 31 years of existence. :same-picture:
