While I'm at it, I don't believe the CIA, FBI, DOJ, Kiev, NED or AID either. OPCW has earned special emnity from the people of the Donbas for ignoring shelling by Kiev.
That is because you're Russian comrade. Something you keep denying but are continually exposed to be. Oh yeah, some estimates now have Russia's death and casualty rate at over 200,000.

What is this? A fucking video game to you, Ted?
Maybe your ass needs to be on the front lines instead of safe in your warm house virtue signalling from your keyboard.
You are a miserable little worm who needs to get his ass kicked.

Yeah. I did say that. Many, many times.
But I've also said that we should offer refuge to anybody in Ukraine who wants to come here. But we never fucking talk about that because they're not Mexican or Middle Eastern (ie: They're white), and we're too busy using them as cannon fodder for NATO's war.
When I say FUCK UKRAINE, I'm saying FUCK NATO and FUCK US IMPERIALISM and FUCK THE WAR ON RUSSIA BY PROXY and FUCK GIVING THEM HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO FIGHT IT.
You're so fucking stupid I don't think you could even understand any of that.
Meanwhile, you cheerlead the death of what could possibly be a quarter of a million people who happen to live in a place that you don't approve of them living, and you're keeping score of deaths like this is a fucking football game.
You are at total piece of shit, Ted.
Get your head on straight or disappear. Nobody needs to hear any more sick opinions out of you.
The fact that people like you even exist disgusts me.

“Again and again we are forced to repel the aggression of the collective West,” was Putin's comparison between Ukraine and the Great Patriotic War. As for the “collective West,” no mention was made of Joseph Stalin’s invasion of Poland 16 days after Adolf Hitler’s, as per their mutually agreed carve-up of Eastern Europe, which culminated in a joint victory parade between German and Soviet armies in Brest-Litovsk on Sept. 22, 1939.

The Two Stalingrads
by Elliot Ackerman
. . . After the event, my interpreter told me that veterans of the Soviet war existed in a cultural limbo in Ukraine, which was why these men so appreciated any public discussion about Afghanistan. They had served in the Soviet military, which—adjacent as it was to the modern-day Russian military—made their service suspect to many younger Ukrainians. However, when they’d fought in the Soviet military, they’d done so as Ukrainians. The Soviet military legacy—in Afghanistan but even more importantly in the Second World War—wasn’t simply a Russian one but a Ukrainian one.
Last week marked the 80th anniversary of the Battle for Stalingrad, the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany, which turned the tide of the Second World War. To mark the occasion, President Vladimir Putin traveled to Stalingrad, now called Volgograd. In a televised speech, he said, “The legacy of generations, values and traditions—this is all what makes Russia different, what makes us strong and confident in ourselves, in our righteousness and in our victory.” What he neglected to mention was that the victory at Stalingrad over the Nazis and fascism wasn’t simply a Russian victory; it was a Ukrainian one too.
After I met those Ukrainian veterans of the Soviet war in Afghanistan, my interpreter recommended I read the work of Vasily Grossman, a Ukrainian Soviet Jew born outside Kyiv. Grossman was at Stalingrad and became perhaps the greatest chronicler of the Soviet experience in the Second World War. Although he was Ukrainian, he wrote in Russian and died in Moscow.
Grossman authored several novels about the Second World War, but the interplay among Ukrainian, Russian, and Soviet identities and narratives is most prominently on display in his 1942 book, The People Immortal. Told through a series of interconnected vignettes, the book chronicles the Red Army’s retreat through Ukraine in the months after the German invasion on June 22, 1941:
Dust hangs over Ukraine and Belorussia; it swirls over the Soviet earth. At night, the dark August sky reddens from the sinister glow of burning villages … Old men, women and children in villages and hamlets wave the retreating soldiers on their way, offering them curd cheese pies, cucumbers and glasses of milk. The old women weep and weep, searching amid thousands of grim, dusty, exhausted faces for the face of a son. And they hold out the little white bundles with their gifts of food, “Take this, love. You are all my own sons. Every one of you has a place in my heart.”
In the pages that follow, calamity piles on calamity as the assembled cast—soldiers, political commissars, and civilians alike—absorb the brunt of Hitler’s invasion. The place names read as if they were taken from today’s headlines: Kharkiv, Dnipro, Chernihiv.
The drumbeat of military disasters in The People Immortal would make for intolerably dark reading if not for our knowledge that this string of Soviet military defeats is simply a prelude to the victory at Stalingrad and the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany. From the first page, we know the ending, and it is a triumphant one. The book derives its momentum because the reader is situated within a well-understood narrative. However, when reading The People Immortal through the lens of Russia’s current war against Ukraine, there is no clear ending to place the reader at ease.
Putin has repeatedly justified his invasion of Ukraine under the pretense of de-Nazification. Grossman’s descriptions of the Nazi military machine, however, are disturbingly reminiscent of today’s Russian-invasion force. Sergey Bogariov, one of the Soviet commissars in the novel, describes the Nazi invaders as follows: “Every realm of German creative thought has been rendered sterile. The Fascists are powerless to create; they cannot write books or compose music or poetry. They are stagnant—they are a swamp. They have brought only one new element to world history and politics: shameless brigandry and organized atrocity!”

Yeah. I figured that out a long time before you did. There was a common cause. It was me. The day I figured that out and started working on it was the day that things got better.

Don't forget the lack of an infinite printing press (for all comparable nations to us in size), the backing of the might of the US military (for a select group of comparable nations of size) and an infinite printing press backed NATO aggression for Russia.
I'm just an individual. Taking all the bad things that have happened and narrowing them down to a single source is easy, and even if it isn't entirely true it's actually helpful to put it all on yourself and stop blaming outside influences.
Trying to take all the bad things that happen to a nation of people and narrowing it down to one thing is both impossible and disingenuous as it is unhelpful.
But that's enough of that. I have no desire to carry on a philosophical debate with a retard today.
