    Ukraine, Russia etc.

    Nah, just a YT link within a Reddit link (which is admittedly an ass-backwards way to share information on a message board.)

    things you have noticed.

    I saw a woman yesterday wearing one of these absolutely incomprehensible T-shirts, based on the cover of the first Bad Brains LP:

    Yeah, I'm pretty bad but the only person I play with is even worse, so I don't really have any opportunity for improvement.

    Ukraine, Russia etc.

    I know "You're both wrong. I alone have the correct position" has been your schtick since forever, but this is flatly untrue. (Your statement about me, I mean - the bit about Germany is true (in fact it doesn't go far enough, because they're not just funding it, but are Israel's only important...

    Oh, OK. I didn't know you have to be on Reddit to use the link. But it's just a YT link within a Reddit link, and while he does acknowledge the deaths, he also says it wasn't a genocide.

    Ukraine, Russia etc.

    It's to his credit if he will actually correspond with random members of the public, but I don't think I'll bother because the chances of either of us changing the other's mind are pretty slim. BTW it was a total guess on my part about him minimising the Holodomor, but the first Google result...

    He is, it has to be said, a master_baiter, ho ho ho.

    Come on, I've stopped rising to m_b's bait, at least!

    TBC, my comment about Soviet atrocities was about Finkelstein, not you.

    Ukraine, Russia etc.

    You're not familiar with pro-Russian Westerners consistently minimising Soviet atrocities?

    Ukraine, Russia etc.

    There are many things wrong with the modern German government, not least its support for Israel. But Israel isn't the country under discussion here, so this smacks of whataboutery. And Germany is justified in helping Ukraine defend itself. A person - or a government or country - can be right...

    Ukraine, Russia etc.

    What's doubly funny about his ludicrous equation of the countries helping Ukraine defend itself from genocidal fascism with Nazi Germany is that the Nazis weren't even the only state to commit genocide in Ukraine in the last century, because millions of them were deliberately starved to death by...

    Ukraine, Russia etc.

    Well he's openly cheering on this century's fascist invader, then, isn't he? German military equipment is being used to defend Ukraine from Russia's invasion. Russian military equipment is being used to terrorise a civilian population. If any country at present is fitting the bill as the 21st...

    Ukraine, Russia etc.

    But you seem to be strenuously avoiding doing that in the case of Russia, specifically.
  15. Mr. Tea

    Ukraine, Russia etc.

    And I can't help but chuckle at "invasion is a misnomer." If tanks rolling across the border from one country into another doesn't constitute an invasion then the word has no meaning. The "Ukraine is/was corrupt (so Russia is right to invade it)" line is funny, too. Do we therefore conclude...

    Why do you the Baltic states might have chosen to join NATO? Or Sweden and Finland more recently?

    All these people are just Lord Haw-Haw wearing a Palestine flag pin badge.

    Ukraine, Russia etc.

    Russia began invading Ukraine in 2014: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_Crimea_by_the_Russian_Federation Well yes, obviously, but the USSR put nuclear missiles in Cuba and pointed them at the US. There are no American nukes in Ukraine pointed at Russia, are there? So it's an...

    Ukraine, Russia etc.

    See, even just the title of this video illustrates pretty well the general idea I'm talking about, which is that Russia is at a huge advantage over the West in one respect, because there are tons of pro-Russian Westerners, but AFAICT no pro-Western Russians. Westerners in their liberal...

    Reality not so much 'fake' as being scripted by Chris Morris and Armando Iannucci - examples

    You'd have thought Robo-Biden might have been a bit more reliable and functional than Biden actually was towards the end of his term.
