When you definitely understand what colonialism is and why the war in Ukraine started.

^ when you lack even a shred of self awareness

cry harder

You seem to be doing a lot of projecting. I Iove how you just keep replying with one word salad after another in sad attempts to act like you’re some sort of an intellectual, while it’s evident that you lack even the most basic reading comprehension. Amazing how you’re able to make an analysis of a paper based on having read half a paragraph. You must really get off on making a clown of yourself in public.

Yup, you’ve cracked the code! The deep, philosophical truth is that free samples exist so we can say ‘yuck.’ My mind is reeling from this Socratic revelation. Truly, we have a giant of philosophy on our hands here.

I love how your entire defense rests on the intellectual rigor of taste testing an abstract. The first paragraph didn’t emotionally gratify me, therefore the entire argument is invalid is a peer-review methodology I’ve only ever seen in YouTube comments. But please, tell me more about thicker skin from the person who wrote a whole paragraph because they did not like a teaser. 🤣

Oh, bless your heart. It must be so freeing to judge an entire book by its cover, or in your case, a whole article by its first paragraph. Your razor sharp critique of “big words” really shows you’ve mastered the art of reading. Maybe one day you’ll graduate to the second paragraph. We’re all rooting for you.

I see you like to do a lot of projecting when lashing out at people.

So you think because I don’t support Ukraine murdering people I support other people being killed? hat’s a pretty ridiculous statement. Also you should probably look back at what was happening there because your memory of the situation seems extremely skewed. Other people have already provided sources you could read instead of making a clown of yourself in public.

No, I don’t support fascists murdering people in Donbas. That’s what you support, that’s what makes you a fascist.

Again, weird framing given that murder was started by Ukraine in Donbas. But I guess when facts don’t fit with your narrative, you just ignore them. Quite telling that this is what you support.

Russia has been attempting to perform diplomacy with the west since before 2014. That’s what Minsk agreements, which the west now admitted were meant to buy time to arm their regime in Ukraine, were supposed to be all about. Funny how you conveniently forgot about that.

NATO started coming apart because NATO lost its proxy war against Russia, and the US is now throwing Europe under the bus while retrenching. It’s an incredibly infantile world view to think that all this is a result of a single individual making decision unilaterally. Weird how fash like you didn’t say a peep when the western installed regime in Ukraine has been killing people in Donbas for the past eight years. Stop pretending like you have some moral high ground.

Evidently, you’re fine with a western backed regime murdering its own people though.

It’s pretty hilarious how libs basically memorized a handful of retorts and they just parrot them completely unthinkingly whenever faced with any information they don’t like.

It’s clearly taken far lass than a decade for NATO to start coming apart, and it didn’t even fight Russia directly yet. So maybe come down there baby Hitler.

The reality is that people in Crimea aren’t being grabbed off the streets and gang pressed into fighting.

Russia is clearly nowhere near as corrupt as Ukraine given that Russia is actually able to run a functioning economy and a military. In fact, there’s strong evidence to suggest that NATO is far more corrupt than Russia is given that Russia is single handedly outproducing all of the west militarily right now. Meanwhile, before yapping about Crimea, you might want to go read a history book for once in your life.

Oh, is that all? Just ‘route the corruption’ and then casually ‘split up’ world’s biggest nuclear power? Totally won’t end in global glassing. It’s amazing how you solved a complex geopolitical crisis with the logic of a toddler smashing LEGOs.

I mean we can obviously see that things are far better in Crimea than anywhere in Ukraine right now. This isn’t even debatable. Comparing Russia to the absurd levels of corruption in Ukraine is not a serious argument to make.
