    I still can’t get over how over half a million people have died for genuinely stupid reasons. Ukrainian militias were literally committing a genocide in Donbas and all the Ukrainian government had to do was behave like any other country on the planet and take those terrorists out; it’s literally their job and all that’s required is they apply their existing laws. You also had NATO taunting Russia and Ukraine actually playing along.

    I don’t even know how many of the original damn terrorists who were mass murdering people in Donbas are even still around; all Ukraine had to do was be normal. There could have been peace earlier but we blocked it; I don’t even know how that works, why the hell did Ukraine go along with that?

    Over half a million lives lost and the conflict extended for such stupid reasons. If Ukraine can see what the end looks like, then why are you prolonging the inevitable? The sunk cost?

                How did it get there?

                Who kept financing far right and nationalist movements, first amongst émigrés and then as soon as the iron curtain fell amongst soviet people?

                Who made up all the anti-communist propaganda, turned natural disasters into genocides, financed “education” programs, “museums” like the occupation museum on Tbilisi, etc?

                Who enforced neoliberal policies, shock therapy, etc?

                Soviet people voted against dissolution of the USSR but comprador politicians ignored that, then Russian people were going to elect Zyuganov but US soft-couped him and stole the election for Yeltsin.

                Who fucking financed Maidan and organised a coup? There’s literally a recording of Nuland deciding which politician gets what position in Ukrainian govt.

                Then Ukrainian people elected Zelensky to make a deal with Russia which he tried to do, what happened to that?

                And then “”““leftist””“” yanks will bumble around asking "why can’t those Eastern Europeans just be normal like the rest of the world?

                Fuck right off, all of you.
