KADYROV'S SUPER SOLDIERS EDITION
I am too lazy to post information or do a write-up. All the information I have is unconfirmed footage from Twitteroids.

Copied from last thread
I've been reading this reddit thread
https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/t2u0br/official_account_of_the_national_guard_of_ukraine/And it boggled my mind that Ukraine is allowing the nazis to to post from offical accounts. Sure you got insane people in the thread saying "its sad we have to fund nazis to stop fascist" or shit like that. But most people are questioning the support for Ukraine. If not siding with Russia become indifferent to the war. Why would the Ukraine confirm the nazi threat and validate Putin? And why is Twitter and FB allowing them to post? You think they would be quietly disbanded and dispered throughout the rest of the military or at least not talked about. But hawk libs are and the media is acting like they are necessary to the defense of Ukraine and not just beating up minorities and people with Russia accents.
ZIZEKs latest take
Translated from German,
https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/wochenende/slavoj-zizek-freiheit-bedeutet-fuer-putin-dass-jeder-seinen-platz-kennt-li.214194 For Putin, freedom means that everyone knows their place
Russia is going into the battle of the great powers. The left did not see this coming. To win, Europe should work with the Third World.
…
However, those who support Russia, or at least have some "understanding" for its actions, are a group of strange bedfellows. Perhaps the saddest part of the story is that quite a few on the liberal left have taken the crisis as a bluff, knowing that they cannot afford total war. The message from the liberal left was: "Stay calm, don't lose your nerve, and nothing will happen."
Unfortunately, we have to admit that Biden was right when he said 10 days ago that Putin had made a decision to invade. After the Russian aggression, some "leftists" (I can't use the word here without quotation marks) blame the West – the story is well known: NATO slowly strangled and destabilized Russia, encircled it militarily, fomented revolutions and ignored Russia's quite justified fears. Just remember that Russia has been attacked twice from the West in the last century…
Of course, there is some truth to this. But using this narrative as a justification for war is like justifying Hitler by blaming the unjust Treaty of Versailles that destroyed the German economy. And it also means that the great powers have the right to control their own spheres of influence and sacrifice the autonomy of small nations on the altar of global stability.
Putin has repeatedly claimed that he was forced to intervene militarily because there was no other choice. In his own way, this is true, but we must raise the key question here: military intervention appears to be Putin's only choice ("There is no alternative") only if we accept in advance his global vision of politics as a struggle of the great powers to defend and expand their sphere of influence.
The question is: Who rules the world?
And what about Putin's accusations that Ukraine is fascist? (It's a bit strange to call Zelensky, a Jew who lost many of his family ancestors in the Holocaust, a neo-Nazi…) We should rather turn the question around and address it to Putin himself: all those who have illusions about Putin should take note of the fact that he has elevated Ivan Ilyin, a Russian political theologian, to the rank of an official philosopher who, after being expelled from the Soviet Union on the famous "philosopher steamer" in the early 1920s, against Bolshevism and Western liberalism represented his own version of Russian fascism: the state as an organic community led by a paternal monarch.
For Ilyin, the social system is like a body in which each of us has our place, and freedom means knowing our place. Accordingly, for Ilyin, democracy is a ritual: "We vote only to reaffirm our collective support for our leader. The leader is not legitimized by our votes or elected by our votes." Isn't that the way Russian elections have de facto been conducted in recent decades? No wonder Ilyin's works are now being reprinted en masse in Russia and distributed free of charge to state apparatchiks and conscripts.
Aleksander Dugin, Putin's court philosopher, follows in Ilyin's footsteps, adding only a postmodern variant of historicist relativism: "Postmodernism shows that every so-called truth is a matter of faith. So we believe in what we do, we believe in what we say. And that's the only way to define the truth. So we have our particular Russian truth that you have to accept. If the United States does not want to start a war, you should realize that the United States is no longer the only ruler. And [with] the situation in Syria and Ukraine, Russia says, 'No, you're not the boss anymore.' That is the question of who rules the world. Only a war can really decide that."
Putin acts as a copy of Western imperialist expansionism
The question that immediately arises here is: What about the people in Syria and Ukraine? Can they also choose their truth/belief or are they just a playground of the big "bosses" and their struggle? The idea that every "life form" has its own truth is what makes Putin so popular with the new populist right. No wonder his military intervention in Ukraine was hailed as "brilliant" by Trump and others… So when Putin speaks of "denazification," we should remember that it is the same Putin who supported Marine le Pen in France, the Lega in Italy and other neo-fascist movements.
But all this is not surprising: forget the "Russian truth", this is just a convenient myth to justify one's own power. Putin is now acting as a belated copy of Western imperialist expansionism. So, in order to really counter it, we should build bridges to the countries of the Third World, many of which have a long list of completely justified complaints against Western colonization and exploitation. It is not enough to "defend Europe": our real task is to convince the countries of the Third World that, given our global problems, we can offer them a better choice than Russia or China. And the only way to achieve this is to change us far beyond politically correct postcolonialism and ruthlessly eradicate forms of neo-colonialism, even if they disguise themselves as humanitarian aid. If we do not do that, we will only wonder why the people of the Third World do not see that we are also fighting for their freedom in defending Europe. They don't see it because we don't really do it. Are we ready to do it? I doubt it.
>>5367721)new theater for military spending
2) bleed Russia as much as possible, create as big a justification for north-korea style total isolation from the world stage as possible
Clearly Ukrainian lives are cheap to the west; but this tit for tat escalation is how WWI happened. It's fair to be worried at this stage - I am, at least.
>>536742Here's a "Kadyrov super soldier" admitting he got his ass kicked. ""We took one village here, but they drove us back. I had to retreat. This is not 2014 at all. Now 120mm will fly out of nowhere. A drone is circling above us."
He was killed moments later by a Ukrainian drone strike.
>>536791???
Hearts of Iron was made after analyzing real strategy. Encirclements are real and good.
>>536804>Hearts of Iron was made after analyzing real strategy. Encirclements are real and good.Lmao look at this retard soy hoi4 player.
Touch grass lmao
>>536802There's a reason hapcon is at 2…
We are witnessing large scale confrontation in real time
>>536750now listen here, germanic servantjack, check it out, I'm made of good ol gold, and the thing is germanic servantjack is that the gold it it it it's a lotta gold germanic servantjack, and the this i learned when i was you is the gold, you see, putin doesn't have all the gold we do germanic servantjack.
t, bidene
>>536815Russian economy, government, industry and social media is getting cancelled.
Not a good look Putin.
>>536820Because objectives in Ukraine aren't going smoothly. Russia has been beat back from Kharkiv, one of the most easterly cities of Ukraine, THRE times now, though the city will probably fall soon. All airborne assault attempts on Kyiv have been repulsed. Russian anti-aircraft has been humiliated as NATO/Turkish provided drones have completely destroyed Russian AA batteries.
The Russians don't even fucking have air superiority yet. Everyone thought Russians would achieve air superiority in day one (same as US did in Iraq) but they've utterly failed there.
I'm not saying as things are going that Russia won't eventually win the conventional engagement (not going to speak on the guerrilla war that would follow) but they're way behind schedule. Belarus is having to commit troops because Russia isn't doing well.
(USER WAS BANNED FOR SPREADING DISINFO) >>536770Rumor is, Putin is advancing towards the Maidan so he can use the power to resurrect Stalin.
He must not breach Kiev! He must not reach the Maidan!
>>536834literal 4 days
>cities are nearly encircled>kiev is nearly fallen>zelensky is almost surrenderingm8 while this isnt as fast as putin wanted it to go in terms of days this is fucking quick
>>536838disagree actually, targeting military assets in quick strikes is some damage reduction western cuckery.
Forcing a tank column through a capital city? Now this is my Red Alert 3 wet dream.
>>536827This is the correct Marxist take; revolutionary defeatism and not siding with one imperial power over the other. Fuck NATO. Fuck Russia. No imperialist wars; only class war.
Anyone shilling for Putin is an anti-Marxist and will be lined up and shot if a revolution ever comes.
https://twitter.com/MotolkoHelp/status/1498005235457003527According to reports, the airborne troops of Belarus received an order to fly to Ukraine on 28.02 at 05:00.
The source is verified.
>>536845Who the fuck would care about leftypol?
Wait, aren't these Ukrainian militias doing the same thing with saboteurs but killing people instead of shitposting?
>>536856According to… who? Ukraine? Which of the updates their MoD pushes on Twitter every 20 minutes have actually been true?
They used combat footage from other wars, they used pictures from other years, they've literally tried to pass of a video game off as combat footage.
>>536834>Russia has been beat back from Kharkiv, one of the most easterly cities of Ukraine, THRE times now, though the city will probably fall soon. Kharkov might not be the real target, is the thing. The Russian army might instead be focused
>>536776 on the destruction of the Ukrainian army to the southeast.
>All airborne assault attempts on Kyiv have been repulsed. Airborne assault is a secondary / support element for the main thrust so even if the Ukrops managed to wipe them out completely it wouldn't stop the city from being surrounded.
>>536852Lotsa Russian saboteurs, you know?
Nice car by the way
SABOTEUR!
>>536792Zizek is clearly pandering to Westoids here. Just a month ago he was at some event in the balkans, criticizing Western economic imperialism in our region.
Why he's selling out so much now I have no fucking idea, but there are well known precedents.
>>536871Dude, a NATO-aligned Ukraine with Azov batallion types in influential position is
far more a security issue for Belarus than for Russia. NATO already tried to crack Belarus last year. And all those "opposition activists" had ties to some very shady actors in Ukraine, like Roman Protasevich who fought in the Azov batallion.
>>536888The battle is raging.
The odds are even.
Russia is having good results on the field BUT it still is alone in facing combined Western onslaught.
>>536857BIG OOF
Meanwhile:
AY LMAO…
>>536897Germany buried Nord Stream before the escalation. Had Germany told the US to fuck off and open Nord Stream 2 they probably could have prevented this.
Also, no, Russia is working with China, they don't need the West anymore.
>>536906i dont see that happening schizo
russia will take ukraine and nato will bitch and moan
>>536924If they get btfo they'll collapse
If they win their only enemy left is china. Then it's really the end of history. For good this time
>>536897This is what isolationists want. Russia cant fight the entire world.
China will ultimately be the referee and make the decision, and if Vlad tells Xi to go fuck himself, then Xi will give the blessing for NATO to intervene.
>>536928drop the drugs
there are less chances of this happening than ukraine becoming communist
>>536946>Freeze the death>Being afraid of the coldBet you have your radiators blasting all the time and that you don't take cold showers pussy
EMBRACE THE COLD
>>536951they sell it, duh
ask germany why it needs it, they're moving away from nuclear
Germany has found the perfect formula for Western relations with Russia: Are you or are you not a “Putinversteher,” a “Putin understander?” By Putin they mean Russia, since the standard Western propaganda ploy is to personify the targeted country with the name of its president, Vladimir Putin, necessarily a dictatorial autocrat. If you “understand” Putin, or Russia, then you are under deep suspicion of disloyalty to the West.

>>536954>The know russia won't invade germany in 1000 yearsObviously lol
>This obviously an anti nato reaction.How? Don't you know how NATO works?
>>536964Some more frequent updates from Russia would be nice, though.
Instead of just doing a gregor, and walking in, stomping everyone without saying anything and then leaving.

OH NONONO >>536792What party did that cuck Zizek run for in the 90s
Remind me
>>537016Well I asked
>>537018Probably not but Russia has always been super serial about UA in NATO
>>537023>Russian interestWhat is meant by this is Russia trying to be all cool and powerful like the US and trying to build up an empire with spheres of influence and whatnot. This is indeed partly NATOs fault.
What makes me sick is how this geopolitics shit is just coming at a massive cost to normal people, just because superpowers wanna keep having their dick measuring contests

ARTICLE REGARDING CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS IN BELARUS:
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/27/belarus-holds-referendum-to-renounce-non-nuclear-status“If you (the West) transfer nuclear weapons to Poland or Lithuania, to our borders, then I will turn to Putin to return the nuclear weapons that I gave away without any conditions,” Lukashenko said.
The amendments will also cement Lukashenko’s 27-year-old grip on power, allowing the president to stay in power until 2035 and giving him lifetime immunity from prosecution once he leaves office.
>>536933>This is what isolationists want. Russia cant fight the entire world.The world can't fight Russia either
>>536933>China will ultimately be the referee and make the decision, and if Vlad tells Xi to go fuck himself, then Xi will give the blessing for NATO to intervene.I don't know what China will do, but if there is a NATO v Russia scenario, it would be in China's interests to give Russia material support. Because when Russia struggles against NATO it reduce the available resources that can be directed against China.
>>537064*Not allowing Ukraine
Like what is NATO going to shoot missiles into Russia from the bases they have in Ukraine?
https://twitter.com/maxseddon/status/1498023555975450626?s=20&t=7ALRlu-yxC9S6pDgKLoTRARussian state TV: “Our submarines alone can launch more than 500 nuclear warheads, which guarantees the destruction of the US and NATO for good measure. The principle is: why do we need the world if Russia won’t be in it?”
ITS HAPPENING
>>537087you are beginning to understand.
the October revolution succeeded because the first world war had left Russia in shambles and the only path forward was socialism. 1917 will commence again
For the first time, the EU will let in an unlimited number of refugees. Gee I wonder what makes refugees from Ukraine more worthy than Middle Easterners or Africans. I might never know.
>>536928>Maybe they are finally going to kick out the eternal yankee.Bruh they're bending over backwards to better acomodate American dick, as usual. That military spending is America telling them to pony up on NATO spending.
There are only 2 possible scenarios where Werstern Europe would stop sucking American dick: if they became communist or if the dick ceased to exist.
>>53693822m sounds like way too little, just the other day they reserved 500m to shit on China.

>>537050Afghanistan is a better comparison. Odds are 100% that the NATO strategy at this point is to turn Ukraine into a no man's land incapable of coalescing into a country again.

Here is a sitrep of today, from Russian sources. Machine translated.
General results of the fourth day Z
<Military Situation:
>Information policy has finally changed, with the Defense Ministry acknowledging casualties for the first time. According to separate information, the number of dead Russian servicemen reaches 300 people. Information approaches are changing. Videos of burned equipment and liberated settlements are being published. The attitude towards the captured Russians remains despicable - they are promised that they will be beheaded. The Ministry of Defense promises imminent retribution against the Nazis. Ukrainian servicemen are not threatened if they surrender or are captured.
>On the Kiev direction heavy fighting unfolded for Irpen. The Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to push back the Russian Armed Forces to the line of Bucha - Gostomel. Phosphorus shells were used. The main concentration of the AFU is on the right bank, on the left bank all is quiet.
>The city from the west side is completely blocked: the Russian Armed Forces form a strike fist. In the area of Bila Tserkva communication is very poor, there are reports of blocking the southern direction. An-225 Mriya was destroyed.
>In the Kharkiv direction there was an attempted assault in the morning, and fighting continued until noon. It was not possible to gain a foothold in the center. By evening, the head of the regional administration urged citizens to negotiate with Russia. The commanders of the Azov National Front fomented Russophobia among the territorial defense units. They brought MANPADs and MANPADs to the city.
>Near midnight, fighting resumed. Locals report another assault, explosions and the beginning of a systematic mopping-up by the Russian Armed Forces.
>Kupyansk was occupied without a fight, in agreement with the local administration.
>In the Kherson direction, the command of the group revised its tactics: the AFU positions north of Dnieper were massively hit by MLRS. Grouping areas, barracks and firing positions along the entire line of contact were destroyed. Government quarters in Kherson and Mykolaiv are barricaded.
>A full-fledged cauldron was formed in the Mariupol direction. All day long there was artillery training on the positions of the AFU and the National Security Forces. By evening, DNR forces had laid siege to Volnovakha from the south and Mariupol from the north, west and east. Even during the day, transport helicopters had been airlifting reinforcements into the city. Unconfirmed reports emerged of a sea landing by the Russian Navy. Fighting for Volnovakha is going on right now - first the AFU withdrew, then reoccupied the settlement. There are explosions in Mariupol. Looters looted an Orthodox cathedral during the day.
>The Russian Armed Forces used Iskander-M missile launchers from the territory of Belarus on an AFU depot near Uman in Cherkasy region. In Cherkasy itself, the AFU hit a garage with an air-to-air missile. In Sumy, Chernigov and Zaporizhzhya regions there is little movement and accumulation of forces. The Luhansk group is preparing to storm Severodonetsk.
>Mercenaries are being prepared to be sent to Ukraine after Zelensky's announcement about creation of a foreign legion: Yemenis are already fighting near Kharkov, in Odessa criminal authority-businessman of Syrian origin Tariq al-Jasim has formed a gang, where Syrians from pro-Turkish territories in the north of Syrian Aleppo are recruited. The "Dzhokhar Dudayev Battalion" declared its readiness to fight on the side of the AFU.
>The EU allowed arms supplies to Ukraine, promising to supply aviation as well. Germany lifted the embargo. Poland became a hub for supplies. Hungary refused to supply weapons. NATO says it does not see Russia as an "imminent" security threat.
<Miscellaneous:
>Witch hunts, cases of looting and attacks continue. Territorial defense units loot and kill the population. Women and children are instructed to become combatants. Ukrainians are urged to prepare "Bandera-smoothies" and spikes for machinery on a mass scale.
>Ukrainian special services are massively urged to overthrow the government in Russia by phone. Telegram channels are trying to be hacked. Durov promised to protect Russians from attacks in Europe. Azerbaijani nationalists are preparing riots in Russia.
>Negotiations with Ukraine will take place in the morning. Russia's leaking of the "Zaukrainians" operation is being promoted at all levels.
>>537100Assuming Russia can actually sell that oil and gas. What with (possible) SWIFT ban and sanctions, this might not be simple.
>>537101>I think this conflict has finally made them lose all notion of sanity, right/wrong, ideology, alignment, direction.On the contrary, this is an inkling of sanity and morality making its way back there. Between the old nazi shit and the literally retarded Trump worship which joined it, that place was the internet equivalent of a child raised by boars, incapable of forming abstract thoughts. This is them grappling with the need to become civilized.
>>537131I completely agree with you.

>>537115There really needs to be two separate threads, one for slow analysis, another for happening consoomers.
There's way too much friendly fire going on based on strawmans.
>>537131I get it, we also have a right-wing regime now, except they're totally cucked to EU, NATO and burgers. The problem in my country is an endless cycle between liberal and right-wing compradors.
In your case I would be worried about compradors coming into power, it means losing any option to change things because it's not your country that decides anymore. And they will just organize exploitation of your people for the sake of foreign capitalists, it would likely be even more brutal.
>>537151>when a socialist revolution occurs they will just sit back and look instead of doing the thing for which they literally were createdIdealist retard cant into realpolitik and materialism, shocker
>tankiesRemind me which were the succesfull socialist revolutions carried out by non-"tankie" socialists again?
>>537202nuclear war wont break out
get real
>>537194Its all out. They use nationality flags and every country is attacking every other country bringing up old wounds and hatreds, old battles and conflicts, Putin is Hitler and thats bad, Putin is Hitler and thats good, Putin is sending Muslim Chekens to rape and murder white women so hes bad, putin is fighting against a jewish president so that is good, NATO is defending globalist ZOG deep state LGBT+ interests so they are bad, NATO is protecting AZOV Nazis so they are good, you name it and someone is claiming it and meming it.
Mix that in with Chinese, CIA, Russian, Neoliberal, Republican, nationalists, and it is like nothing I have ever witnessed before.
Flags I have not seen in a long time are posting on there from obscure nations.
I just wish the official Russian military media outlets would release content, they usually have amazing stuff and edit it well and release it nearly instantly. No good footage from Russian troops, most of them had to turn in their phones and cameras before deployment.

I can understand wanting a multiparty shitlib democracy, even if I think the premise is absurd. But the west? The fucking cannibals who put Yeltsin in power?
>>537210Okay them let me make you want Ukrainians to get fucked.
A lot of reports of non-whites being barred from trains and buses out of cities and towards the borders. Some are going there on foot, only to be flat-out denied exit by Ukrainian border guards.

t. third worlder.
We in the third world look to your country to break the hegemony of the US/NATO. You guys are our hope.
>>537274Like I said, Russian official military media has shut down and is releasing no footage, all Russian soldiers crossing into Ukraine have had their cellphones confiscated, RT is still claiming this is a small "police action" the conflict is inside of Ukraine so yes almost everything is Ukrainian civilian footage, military footage or state propaganda footage
I mean they could just spray paint a Z onto every destroyed vehicle to make it look like a Russian loss at this point.
Many Russian intel sources that have posted about Syria and other conflict zones for years on social media have reportedly been shut down, banned or knocked offline. The r/russia subreddit has been downvoted into oblivion. I am trying, really fucking hard to get verified Russian content but it is nearly non existent.
Even the Russian combat footage is filmed from a Ukrainians front porch or dashcam.
>>537303Of course they know they're lying. But they completely control the information which reaches 99% of Westerners, so even if they lose they can twist the message all they want.
And yeah, odds are that the current NATO strategy is to turn Ukraine into Afghanistan.
>>537303a lie, followed by a retraction is just as effective as the lie without the retraction.
they're not even bothering with retractions though lol.
>>537320Liberals just put a massive filter on when it comes to Ukraine that contradicts their narrative of Ukraine being this liberal LGBT haven.
From what we have seen, Ukraine is a massively right-wing country and we have also understated the influence of the Azov batallion. The reports and footage how they popped up almost everywhere now leads me to believe that their influence is somewhat significant.
>>537338>The far right has no seats in their parliament and What electoralism does to a mf. How many armed nazi militants and nazis that openly serve in the army do those other countries have?
>their president is jewish.Israel's govt is far-right and it's all Jewish.

Be fair and report on the situation as is. Neither Russia nor Ukraine merit lying to support their image.
>>537341Do some research instead of sucking the toes of an oligarchy just because it's not NATO. Here's one example of Russia funding neo-Nazis:
https://time.com/4955503/germany-elections-2017-far-right-russia-angela-merkel/ >>537066Yes, but not uncritical support. We still acknowledge Russia being a declining capitalist ex-superpower, but why should we support the existence of an insanely right-wing government in Russia's backyard?
A hypothetical Ukrainian victory and subsequent Russian takeover by a pro-US leader would mean more exploitation of natural resources by Big Oil, and Russia is thwarting efforts made by them to do such heinous acts. We ain't wanting Russia to become Indonesian New Order 2: Electric Boogaloo.
>>537346no one is prepared.
The ones that will die within short periods of time will only cope. Those living in the nuclear winter will suffer the inevitable end.

Its not just about finding happiness or being happy, its about guarding and protecting that happiness from people who want to take it from you
>>537191(Azov 88 Check'd)
You people are so fucking stupid the IMF already cratered Ukraine's living standards and Russia was the only state that was willing to subsidize you retards until you went full NATO aligned.
>>537333From what I've seen:
>Claiming they're only barring men from leaving and prioritizing women and children (ignoring the nonwhite women and children not allowed to leave)>Some whites are stranded too so it's ok>They don't have visas unlike the white ukranians>It's the job of their country's government to evacuate them, not Ukraine's>The men should have to fight just like the Ukrainian men since they're "free loading" from the country anyway>There's nothing wrong with prioritizing your people over others during times of crisisWhat makes it more bizarre is that I've seen some of this come from black people, and I can only assume it's typical glow shit to obfuscate what's happening.
>>537338>their president is jewishAlso here is an interesting article on Die Spinne (the spider) A secret network founded by Skorzeny during his service with Israel to help SS men escape to South America and Spain and to re-enter the realm of politics and military affairs.
"In the 1960s, Skorzeny set up the Paladin Group, which he envisioned as "an international directorship of strategic assault personnel [that would] straddle the watershed between paramilitary operations carried out by troops in uniform and the political warfare which is conducted by civilian agents". Based near Alicante, Spain, the Paladin Group specialized in arming and training guerrillas. Some of its operatives were recruited by the Spanish Interior Ministry to wage a clandestine war against the terrorist group ETA. Skorzeny was a founder and an advisor to the leadership of the Spanish neo-Nazi group CEDADE, established in 1966."
He also was instrumental in helping to prepare West Germany's anticommunist policies.
>>537314Its not really a dick measuring competition. That is how it looks like from the media perspective. Listen to what Putin has to say, it's pretty clear to be honest. It's about interests of the Russian elites, and how the West has been fucking with them since 2008.
Again, I realize Putin sucks, but your country is doing all of us in the third world a huge favor. It's a fucked situation when we root for an oligarch, but all of our movements have been killed by CIA backed operations. We depend on you to break american hegemony.
>>537397NATO shill, nobody is saying that.
Glow harder.
>>537415Think about it
Bill Clinton broke the agreement with Russia and expanded NATO east
Dubya OK'd trying to get Ukraine into NATO
Obama did the Ukraine coup
Biden finally lights a match under the situation
Where is Trump? He's cucking Jeb Bush and turning him into a meme.
>>537436Not that anon, but I'm gay and recently discovered baths since I now live in a place with one. They're lovely.
>>537434Nothing of note I think?
>>537299Pat Lancaster is moving up with one of the Donetsk groups, but no real combat footage.
Obviously not really Russia though.
>>537421true, but Trump still cockblocked many forces within US gov. don't forget how factions within the alphabet soup turned against him.
if Kennedy was a tragedy, Trump is a farce
https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/01/24/nato-as-religion/Nice article. Relatively normie friendly.
>>537459>>537465>Expect more people to now turn against EU.Here's to hoping.
