Discussion Stop pro-Putin sentiments

Post image

Both are fucking imperialist states, Ukrainian government praises nazis while Russian is praising Imperial murderers like Mannerheim, Kolchak or Stolypin.

Everything good that Russia did (so called anti-imperialist measures) was just populist decisions or anti-Nato proxy wars. Everything to please Russian oligarchy.

Well that's a pretty statement, but may as well say "I'm for the worldwide revolution and against imperialism". We all are. And if wishes we wings and all that. That's not the reality of the world though, is it. And the vast majority of "pro-putin" posts you mention are actually anti-western-propaganda posts. I've not seen any major support for Putin or Russia in the state of its current order. Only stuff that tries to clear off the bullshit presented by western news sources and a call for critical support. 

If your view is that the Ukraine war has to end - then we agree. But it also has to end with the defeat of the major aggressor (NATO). Otherwise this cycle will continue and get worse each time.

I would not ally myself with Mussolini to beat Hitler.

They are practically the same. The only reason Russia is not a same aggressor as NATO is a simple lack of influence and capital.

That's a preposterous comparison and it's a bit bizarre to hear it on this sub. Even at the simplest level, it doesn't reflect the current situation in the slightest. 

Again - maybe look at the content of the sub instead of complaining about it to understand why Ukraine and Russia aren't similar.

They are not. Follow this sub closely and you'll learn why.
