The Eastern provinces that the neonazi-led Ukrainian government was ethnically cleansing, and who had been asking for Russia's help (and to join Russia) since long before February of of 2022? Yes. Yes, they should be Russia.

Appreciate the informative list of links! (Very common u/davel W).

Also lol at my comment being reported to mods as propaganda for stating a simple, verifiable fact. Always funny how the dronies think it's "propaganda" just for going against what they want to believe even when their beloved western sources reported on it back before it became no-no to do so. (A NATO No-No, if you will). I'd ask what instance the [redacted] reporter was from, but I guess that might give away exactly who it was.

The Russiagate hoax has a second purpose aside from smearing Trump. It’s to train people that anything anyone says that goes against the imperial core is a “[gepolitical enemy] talking point” and therefore fake news. It’s a “guilty by association” con, much like McCarthyism.

Is Zelenski Jewish?

Yes, and Hitler didn't meet the criteria for high blooded Aryan. The idea thata Jewish president couldn't possibly support neo-Nazis flies directly in the face of the actual documented and oft-reported evidence

I thought that idea would disappear after Netanyahu absolved Hitler from holocaust, but alas.
