SinningStromgald,

I sure hope some alphabet agencies in the US are looking deep into the senators blocking aid to Ukraine for being foreign agents of Russia.

hope away, the alphabet is mightly righty

Omega_Haxors,

They’re too busy looking for pedo rings so they can chum up with them and then let them off with a “warning”

Americans who think the alphabet agencies are going to save us: ACAB includes the alphabet agencies.

SinningStromgald,

Oh I don’t think they will. I meant it sarcastically but I realize now that probably isn’t coming across.

Poe’s law is a bastard ¯_(ツ)_/¯

thenewred,

As opposed to Cole’s law, which is a finely shredded cabbage salad

brain_in_a_box,

I also hope that the alphabet agencies are wasting their time on bullshit qanon style conspiracy theories. Means they’re spending less time harassing minorities.

As usual, mods remove replies calling attention to discussion manipulation by a specific nationality mentioned in the post.

The votes & comments are organic. You’re just used to the voting patterns & conversations of imperial core social media platforms. Once you step outside that bubble, you may find that opinions genuinely differ.

Concerning the conspiracy theory in particular:

Meet Hamilton 68, the New King of Media Fraud The Twitter Files reveal that one of the most common news sources of the Trump era was a scam, making ordinary American political conversations look like Russian spywork

MSNBC Repeats Hamilton 68 Lies 279 Times in 11 Minutes

Chris Hedges: Why Russiagate Won’t Go Away

Gabu,

If by “core” you mean “civilized world”, yes.

So you’re just going to openly declare your imperial chauvinism like Josep Borell did?

Short Yellow Parenti clip: Not Underdeveloped but Overexploited

Gabu,

I’m going to declare that positioning oneself against western civilization as if a moral guardian, yet embracing cancerous regimes like NK, Chinese dictatorship or Russian oligarchic dictatorship, is the hallmark of a moron that is working against Marxist interests.

    “Why won’t Russia just admit they’re losing already?!”

    TropicalDingdong,

    This is the cost of bipartisanship with Republicans.

    Nothing shows how bought out the Republicans are to Russia more than the statement on how they didn’t want to send weapons to perpetuate war. That’s all these assholes want to ever do. The one time they don’t and it’s for daddy Putin. Half the issues with populism in the US seem to stem from the level of destructive populism Russia enjoys.

    They wanted to stay in Afghanistan even after 20 years but 2 years of Ukraine is too much.

    velox_vulnus,

    Not from the US or Europe, but I kept hearing news about Ukraine countering Russia? What just happened?

    Jackinopolis,

    Massive swell of people to make any progress to have something to campaign with for Putin’s re-election. Ukraine has been generally running low on artillery and can’t fully capitalize on countering large unit offenses. The Ukrainians have a lot of western equipment but are low on funds to supply them.

    davel,
    @davel@lemmy.ml avatar

    You can’t reload Western equipment with funds, and the West’s ammunition production capacity has proven to be lacking compared to Russia’s.

    Tbf, Russia has been sourcing ammunition from North Korea.

    Omega_Haxors,

    Karma for the US constantly treating NK like shit for the gall of existing. Their ideology is literally “leave me alone and i’ll leave you alone” but that wasn’t enough apparently, they had to slam them with murderous sanctions and constant warmongering propaganda.

    Kusimulkku,

    How is it karma that Russians are killing Ukrainians with those shells? It’s not like it’s Americans dying.

    Omega_Haxors, (edited )

    Ukraine is basically the last thing Russia needs to reestablish the Soviet Union. The US is willing to let that happen just so that they can put all their chips into shooting at people who literally can’t shoot back. When they eventually lose to the full might of communism, that will be why.

    Basically they’re prioritizing maximizing harm so much they don’t even care just how stupid their actions are for their long term survival.

    Kusimulkku,

    I’m not sure if you’re joking or being serious. Russia is trying to reestablish Soviet Union…?

    Omega_Haxors, (edited )

    Yeah they are, because that was the one time in Russia’s entire history where they actually had any level of real power. You can be the nastiest of power-hungry fascists and still see the value there. You really think they were going after Ukraine for fun…?

    Russia is currently running on an agenda of Duginism, that should give a big hint on how they will act in the near future.

  • Gabu,

    Hahahahaha, good joke. Well, I suppose it’s true, if you think of rusty nails and pellets as being “ammunition”.

    Omega_Haxors,

    Russia finally admitted they were losing.

    GammaGames,

    Russia has been trying to get this for a few months, estimates show ~30k Russian solider fatalities and over 400 tanks/infantry vehicles.

    From what I know it was strategically important to the Donetsk region, which Russia would like to get back under control. It’s also a bragging point for the “election” because it’s the largest advance they’ve had since last May, they pushed a ton of lives through the meat grinder to take it.

    source

    As to the counteroffensive, there’s a page about it on wikipedia! It wasn’t as successful as they’d hoped, they didn’t even manage to get the minimum goal. They’ve been focusing on taking out the Black Sea fleet, overcoming anti air in Crimea, and sabotaging fuel depots inside Russia since.

    They realized fighting a war of artillery and attrition against Russia is a bad idea

    TropicalDingdong,

    Not from the US or Europe, but I kept hearing news about Ukraine countering Russia? What just happened?

    US Republicans are working towards autocratic facism in the US, and fundamental yet unspoken within that is their palpable relationship with other autocratic and autocratic hopefuls like Un and Putin.

    US Republicans (and their voters) would rather live under theocratic facism than to have to share the world with people they don’t understand. They believe by supporting Putin, they’ll achieve their goals, which to date, has show to be an effective strategy.

    Republicans, the elected ones and the ones that just vote R, have become the enemies of Democracy globally, and within the United States.

    You have probably been reading propaganda. Russia has been clearly winning for over a year, and all indications are that time and attrition is on Russia’s side as well. This was quite obvious and clear from the start to anyone familiar with the history of wars involving Russia versus Europe; Russia has massive resources to tap into and an extremely educated population with extensive military and logistic legacy knowledge from the Soviet Union, which was the world superpower militarily in terms of land wars on the Eurasian continent. Russia is also a handful of kilometers from the frontline and capable of massive standardized domestic production of arms - Ukraine is getting a hodgepodge of expiring arms from all over the world in an uncoordinated piecemeal fashion. Of course Russia’s system of war is better. It’s also the soviet advantage in WW2, logistics and industrial production.

    Pro-Ukrainian propaganda has been flooded through everywhere in the Western media world, so it’s likely all you have been exposed to. I recommend dabbling in Indian, Chinese, Middle Eastern diplomatic and news sources to get a wider picture of what actually is going on. Ukraine is never getting back Donbas or Crimea, and they will be lucky to get out of this with Kharkiv or Odessa
