I actually thought that was a bit of an overreaction, but I still appreciated the sentiment.

I wasn’t able to find what brought that on in the modlog, and his whole posting history was deleted(!). I was really curious about what he said, and after having found and read it… wow. Thank you.

I haven’t played it yet, but in a similar vein, Squad 22: ZOV is a recent Russian game that depicts the Ukraine war. The American response was also quite predictable. Although it is heartening to see a number of steam reviewers calling them out for review bombing it.

Odd. It works fine for me on Android and Desktop Linux Firefox. Perhaps Apple specific?

On the Ukraine front, Russia is definitely still winning. You can check the maps yourself for the high level. I’m not sure where these 10s of miles are that they advancing, but I don’t see it on a map of Ukraine.

On the lower level, the Ukrainian armed forces appears to just barely be holding on. Most of their true believers are dead, and they are increasingly relying on people that they kidnapped. They are taking massive disproportionate casualties, and as we can clearly observe from NATO panic, Russia is winning in the materiel war as well. This is a war of attrition, and Russia is decisively winning. Hell, even the messaging from on high has changed from saying that Ukraine is winning to Ukraine can still win if NATO just sanctions a bit more and sends more guns. This is also not working, and NATO knows that they cannot keep up with even their existing pace forever.

I’m honestly not sure that there is a plan. It’s just racism with a side of exceptionalism. The idea is that the great and powerful US military can bomb anyone they want with impunity, so long as they aren’t a nuclear power. And with the meerest hint of possibility that Iran might become a nuclear power soon, it’s a good time to go bombing again. They’ve been talking for years about how much they wanted to.

It’s only been a couple of weeks since the anniversary of the start of the white terror, which killed tens of thousands of Chinese dissidents. I must have missed the news remembering that.

Chinese Spy submarine.

I’m honestly not sure what you’re trying to imply in the first paragraph. Russia shouldn’t have mobilised their troops before attacking? They shouldn’t have given Zelensky one last try to make things right? 8 years was too short of a time for negotiations? Zelensky needed to go to war so he could look tough? WTF?

The second paragraph is more clear, but just seems to be liberal talking points. Which is fair, because I posted liberal sources, but the primary complaint seems to be that liberals don’t support the Russian SMO, so I shouldn’t? The war crimes thing is just fluff based on liberal propaganda. I still support the US’ entry into World War 2. Despite them being most enthusiastic committer of war crimes on the planet, committing the most horrifying attack on civilians in human history.

In regards to one of his slaves who refused to work, and was whipped for it:

“Your treatment of Charlotte was very proper—and if she, or any other—of the Servants will not do their duty by fair means—or are impertinent, correction (as the only alternative) must be administered.”

– George Washington, slave owner and racist.

First of all, congratulations on opening your eyes and being willing to listen. That’s not a small step. Please start with cfgaussian’s post, as it’s comprehensive and detailed. But I like to keep these two links handy for my liberal friends who call anything written by non-western people propaganda. They both basically say the same thing, but the first is more historical, and the second is more geopolitical. The second one is written by a former assistant secretary general of the UN who “escaped” the USSR.

Personally, I’m entirely on board with the Russian “invasion”, and my support for it is uncritical. The war should never have happened, but now that it’s here, Russia needs to see it through to the end. They were left with no other choice.

It’s working fine here on Firefox mobile.

Fair enough. I know enough of the history to recognise that the details were a bit off. But it was close enough to the truth I didn’t think it was worth quibbling about.

I lost family to the American Holocaust.

Nothing in that disclaims the meme. It’s actually worse.

“At the federal level, there really was no reason to pay soldiers bounties for killing Indians. That was their job.”

When has the US EVER been a democracy?

At it’s conception through the 19th century, they were exterminating my people, and black people were seen as more useful subhumans, so they were kept alive. Women of course were just there to make babies.

Near the end of the 19th century, black men fought hard, and gained the right to vote for the oppressor of their choice. They were still killed if they dared to do so though.

White women gained the right to choose their oppressor in the early 20th century. In the words of Susan B Anthony:

“I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ever work or demand the ballot for the Negro and not the woman.”

Today, things haven’t changed much. We have the right to vote now, so long as the police haven’t trumped up an excuse to arrest us. Murdering our women is still rampant. The last election saw the choice between Donald Trump (need I say more?), and a rich black oligarch who campaigned heavily on genocide. Americans like to forget the genocide was the basis for “their country”. We want our land back. We want an end to your “democracy”. It’s nothing but genocide wrapped in lies.

The United Fruit Company and East India Company?

You said instead. Instead of what?

They seem principled! Where are you coming from?

I’ve been on xiao Hong Shu. That’s exactly what happened. I was devastated.
