Russia’s war in Ukraine is already in its 17th month. In that time, President Vladimir Putin has clearly demonstrated that he is not bothered by losses — whether they be financial, material, or human. His war will go on as long as he needs. And, judging by how the authorities have woven the so-called “special military operation” into Russian life, that will be a long time.

How to say you're a NAFO shill without saying you're a NATO shill.

Correct. I'll happily shill for the defensive alliance formed to ward off (the currently on display) Russian aggression. NATO would not exist if Russia weren't so nakedly attempting to rebuild the Soviet Union by force, an alliance that had already been litigated and abandoned by the smaller nations Russia pillaged for resources, this time without even pretending to be for the workers.

Edit: no amount of tankie brigading will convince me that Russia isn't the aggressor in the region. Imagine the brainrot required to think that the military that invaded Ukraine and is still currently there is the good team.

You're in a thread that's showed you that NATO was a place to give jobs to high ranking Nazis. It's the world's most aggressive military alliance that Russia is defending itself from.

Lmfao "defending itself." Where's the Russian military right now pal? I, too, defend my home by attacking my neighbors.

Are your neighbours putting a nuclear missile in their yard and pointing it at your house, and you're doing nothing?

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Russia does basically this to the U.S. with its subs and it's a reality Americans are forced to deal with every day, so yes, Russia is the clear aggressor here.

And the 700+ US military bases around the world mean nothing.

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Absolutely nothing in this context, yes.

Grow up. Stop shilling for foreign powers.

Typical American Exceptionalist, assumes that this forum only has Americans on it. Your chauvinism is blatant.

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Holy fuck, you right-wing traitors are out in full force today, aren't you?

The idea that people should innately have loyalty to their government is a right wing idea, lmao. "Treason" 🤣🤣🤣
