Who invaded who? Who started shelling who?
I don't give a fuck mate. The result of the war is that one group of bourgeoisie exploit people, or another group of bourgeoisie exploit people. Neither outcome is worth any lives to me. No war but class war.
You are a pro war bloodthirsty psychopath willing to expend as many lives as necessary as long as it empowers the particular group of billionaires that you cheerlead for instead of some other group of them.
And it was Ukraine that was shelling Donetsk and Luhansk actually. Don't make me get the OSCE shelling maps out.
No political theory. No ad hominem attacks. Who start shooting first?
She answered in the last paragraph
What the fuck do you not understand? I do not care. It does not matter to me who starts a war when both sides are bourgeoisie. And it does not fucking matter to me who wins them. I will not cheerlead either side of a bourgeoise war. I am not a psychotic nationalist. I am an internationalist.
Fucking trying to remove politics from a war is utterly deranged.
What no Clausewitz does to a motherfucker.
Well, Ukraine. Or, rather, Right-wing nationalist Galacians who trapped dozens of Ukrainian union members who were the wrong kind of Ukrainian in a building them threw firebombs in until all the Ukrianians in the building burned to death.
Then the nationalist Galacians attacked the legitimate president, who had considerable support in eastern Ukraine.
Then the coup Rada started sending Nazi death squads in to Donbas, and shelled Donbass with artillery for like eight years.
Then the UA military staged a massive build up to invade Donbas with... uh... questionable intentions towards the Russian speaking Ukrainian population, and at that point Russia invaded.
So.
"Go ahead and duel me, just take off your clothes first and drop your weapon"
And it doesn't even work bc afaik the first shots in the civil war were when the nationalists trapped all those Ukrainians in the union building and burned them all to death.
The opposite of the lady barnard song.
As always

We love our posters

IQ so low scientists are studying its applications for cooling nuclear fusion reactors
This is too simplistic. Just stop. That's not how geopolitics works. The lines on the map aren't real and don't mean anything. Christ Liberals and their profound inability to understand the nature of power.
I'm a liberal? "Liberal" is just a word and all words are made up. They don't mean anything.
If words have no meaning, then how are you communicating with people in this comment section right now?
Woah, you just justified that any conversation doesn't mean anything,congrats
And they just justified any invasion by declaring that boarders are imaginary, so they didn't matter. Guess what? Both words and boarders are imaginary, but they still matter.
