How many of you actually believe Ruzzia is winning this war?
By all western accounts (might as well say most credible) Ukraine is without a doubt winning this war, there is no denying how substantial the Russian losses have been not just in sheer numbers of those killed on the frontlines but even more so those who have been impacted by the western imposed sanctions which can be removed if Russia removes themselves from occupied Ukraine. I think there have been 14 million Russian deaths as a result of this war and only 4000 Ukrainian deaths - that number includes victims of war (may they rest in peace).
I just want the hexbears to enlighten me - they make bold claims but never follow up with any sources, they constantly repeat the same whataboutisms without acknowledging material reality around them, you can keep retracting your arguments anytime you are proven wrong but this playdoh act can only go so far - if you “”communists”” (hate typing that word) actually had an ounce of care for humanity, wouldn’t you be opposed to the Ruzzian invasion of a sovereign nation such as Ukraine? Let me paint a picture for you - you children might understand this more if I speak in your terms:
If you claim Israel (which is a real country by all historical accounts), that they have no right to be on alleged stolen Palestine land… why do you not come to the same conclusion when it comes to Russia and Ukraine? Oh, another example, why would you not vote Biden who is by no means a great candidate but by choosing not to vote you allow a fascist (antithesis of communists) into power? Don’t you think you have a moral obligation to vote out fascism every time?
I don’t know, though- I’m just a person on the interweb- my opinions are correct and backed by the smartest minds in the west, I do not have to listen to any of you so don’t expect much engagement from me in the comments - thanks!
It amazes me that people don’t realize that defending democracy doesn’t end with this battle. If you give up on Ukraine, then next comes Taiwan, South Korea, Poland.
Literally did the same thing like 20% through the post. Name -> comm -> slow squint while astral calculations started comically flying by my head while I postulated all the possibilities
Russia isn’t real. Have you ever seen Vladimir Putin and the entire cast of The Deprogram at the same place at the same time? No? Coincidence? I think not.
I was a little hopeful about the closing fakenews post you did. It actually seemed genuine and self-reflective for once, especially after you got so shitty with people over another terrible "ironic" comm request last week.
Maybe I'm getting too old and don't understand the whole "posting a reactionary rant but actually it's ironic" thing anymore, but your posts generally don't seem satirical, they just seem like they were directly written by a lib and posted on your account with an assurance it is definitely just a joke.
Really? 14 million dead Russians and 4000 dead Ukrainians doesn't seem like satire? This post hit every western talking point in a simple to follow list.

Yeah, exactly. Melina is just repeating actual things I have heard irl libs saying over the last couple of years. 14 million Russians and 4000 Ukrainians could come straight from the victims of communism memorial foundation.
If I came across this post from a random lemm.ee user I wouldn't have any reason to think it's a bit, just that they were a chud. The only thing that distinguishes Melina's post from that of a random lib is that we already know faer.
I cannot fathom how sheltered some of you mfs here are people talk to human!! touch concrete!! make friend!! people irl are cool and the world is dying. shit is slimy. someone making a post that you deem REACTIONARY because it's not really satirical because ☝️🤓 Satire Requires Clarity Of Purpose or whatever the fuck you nerds say is so unimportant and boring and stupid and aaaah please touch concrete thanks. and if it really upsets you this much just block and move on it really is that easy
Has anyone else just not followed this war at all?
I wish I had - two years down the drain that I'll never get back, thanks Joe, you old demented fuck.
Then again it was absolutely glorious/baffling/just couldn't stop to watch NATO and the West entangling itself in this mess and lose to Putin's Russia. Just... being alive while history is made, you have to watch and marvel, right?
Maybe should have stopped after Afghanistan. DEFINITELY should stop after Kyiev falls. Probably want to watch when Tel Aviv falls.
Are we ever going to find out why Russia put an entire army on a single highway, then slowly drove towards kiev for days?
The fact that Russia didn't win the war in a week, and that all the equipment and advisers NATO can send is barely on par with Russia's refurbished leftovers from the USSR is just baffling.
The whole thing kind of feels like it would be a “I am not informed enough on regional history to have an opinion on this” thing for me if not for the US and their glorified lackies, who I despise, trying to butt in so hard
If you claim Israel (which is a real country by all historical accounts), that they have no right to be on alleged stolen Palestine land…
I’m not the one claiming this but Ben Gurion
“If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?” David Ben-Gurion (the first Israeli Prime Minister): Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox), pp121.
“Let us not ignore the truth among ourselves … politically we are the aggressors and they defend themselves… The country is theirs, because they inhabit it, whereas we want to come here and settle down, and in their view we want to take away from them their country. … Behind the terrorism [by the Arabs] is a movement, which though primitive is not devoid of idealism and self sacrifice.” — David Ben Gurion. Quoted on pp 91-2 of Chomsky’s Fateful Triangle, which appears in Simha Flapan’s “Zionism and the Palestinians pp 141-2 citing a 1938 speech.
Good bit, 9/10. The "smartest minds in the west" is a bit much, but "I don't have to listen to any of you so don't expect much engagement from me" is gold
They were promised 85 rubles for every pro-Russian comment that they made on the internet. I just want to say to all you Putin simps out there: you’re never gonna get paid, Russia is running out money soon!
There are two entire army groups marching on Berlin as we speak, within days from this comment there'll be a flag raised over the Reichstag symbolizing the liberation of the world from fascism
Ukraine was mean to the people of Donbas. If China decided to liberate homeless people from California or wageslaves from another part of the world, or chattel slaves from anywhere then I'd applaud them. Israel is being mean to Palestinians, so I wouldn't want them to succeed in continuing to be mean. Joe is not meaningfully less mean than Trump in any metric that I care about.
i've seen people earnestly say "how can you say free palestine but not free ukraine" a few times outside hexbear, but the comparison is pretty thin. there's no mass population transfer unless you count war refugees, there's no apartheid, there's no prison fence around millions of people. no matter where you draw the borders the same people still live in the same places however this gets settled. the two situations really aren't that similar.
Fascist militias attacking Donbas for almost a decade is the most directly similar aspect. That would really twist a libs mind palace if they knew anything about it.
Actually Ukraine won the war already over a year ago, it's just being suppressed because Biden needs the wartime funds from congress to do a Marshall Plan in the conquered Ruzzian territories.
If Trump is a fascist,then by those standards so is Zelenskyy, for instance for outlawing leftist parties, and so is Biden and the ruling class he represents, for supporting Zelenskyy, making sure that war happened and making sure that war continues. Not to mention arming the genocidal fascists in Israel. Trump looks like Bernie Sanders compared to Netanyahu. Many of NATO's founding members were fascist. The foreign policy of the US consistently supports fascists. In a conflict between two capitalist powers in a proxy war, I oppose the Great Satan.
Lmfao, calls western sources the most credible get the fuck out of here kiddo this is the most media illiterate analysis I’ve ever seen in my damn life
Opponents of the war have pejoratively called the Z symbol a zwastika.
The 2022 Moscow rally [...] was officially called in Russia "For a world without Nazism" (Russian: «Zа мир без нацизма»), with Latin Z replacing Russian З.
In Moldova, unknown vandals painted the symbols "Z" and "V" over crosses at the World War II Heroes' Cemetery of Chișinău, on graves of soldiers of the Axis-aligned Romania
Forget all the Ukrainian nazi iconography, the Ruzzians are the real Nazis!
melina says "c/fakenews is dead check tmz" in movie chat and i, a simple soul come to the city to see the lights, am stripped of my innocence and thrown aside
