The reason you don't understand is because you've been inventing a position for me to hold.

Inventing nothing. You are a sucker for bad western propaganda, no different that someone who thinks Saddam threw babies out of incubators, had WMD's poised to strike the US and planned 911 or believes Kaddafi actually gave Viagra to his troops to rape.

You are a gullible muppet. It's that simple.

The "western narrative" is that Russia is bad for invading its neighbours

Russia had the patience of Job with your bullshit. Imagine the Turkish Missile Crisis (what it should actually be called when only reason USSR tried to place nukes in Cuba was to counter US nukes first placed in Turkey) but with the Soviets overthrowing Canada, filling it with billions in biolabs, spy stations, weapons while supporting radicals that slaughtered thousands of Canadians with dual US citizenship. That's what you did to Russia with Ukraine. US would have had troops mobilized for invasion and bombers in the air within a day, not try peace for eight years before putting their foot down.

Are you saying the Holodomor didn't happen? Or The USSR wasn't the cause?

Again, if Stalin loved starving Ukrainians why was there Holodomor 2.0 after WWII when so many Ukrainians like Stepan Bandera joined Hitler in murdering Poles, Russians and Jews. Like all propagandized western muppets you ignore that famines happened on the regular under the capitalist Tzars but you dgaf because you weren't propagandized to dislike that. Famines that disappeared after the Soviets industrialized agriculture. After Russia underwent a civil war and an prolonged western invasion and occupation Oh, I'm sorry, it's only an "intervention" when you send you hostile armies into a sovereign country. For years.

You idiot conspiracy nuts seize on the smallest most ridiculous things.

It's right there on video in front of your nose. Idiot. Gaslighting yourself makes you the idiot conspiracy theorist.

Idiot.

What else do you deny? That Canadian parliament applauded a literal Nazi? That Jon Stewart pinned a medal on a Nazi at Disneyland?

Idiot.

Cowardly shitbag dumfuck facist cocksucker of McCarthy's rotting member finally forgot to post as coward.

But you always were a cocksucking dumb fuck piece of stalking harassing shit.

Russia didn't invade shit until 2022, dipshit. And that was to stop Kiev's invasion of Donbas and Crimea while Zelensky escallated bombardment of Donbas to a thousand times a day. The entire "Russia invaded Crimea" narrative is based around Russia having an existing base in Sevastopol at the time of Obama's coup of Kiev in 2014. But by that "logic", the United States is right now invading Cuba, South Korea, Japan, Australia, the Philippines, western Europe, most of the Middle East and huge swaths of Africa. Because existing bases.

Pure idiotiocracy.

Ukraine was moving towards Europe.

Just one slight problem pops your balloon filled with a mix of hydrogen and bullshit: Yanukovych agreed to early elections and reduced powers yet you overthrew him in a Nazi powered coup less than a week later. If Ukraine was actually moving to the west your side would have simply voted him out. You're a million megatons of Banderite propaganda crammed into a five pound sack.

Trying to rid itself of Russian corruption and influence.

Your bad influence and corruption. It's not like your every day Ukrainians wanted to be given the Greek treatment, with crippling austerity, cut wages and pensions and have huge swaths of Ukrainian land sold off to foreign "investors":

• Late last year, with Ukraine's state coffers running low because of overspending on political priorities like subsidizing natural gas and increasing the wages of government workers, President Viktor Yanukovych faced a choice. The European Union offered a trade deal that promised to boost Ukraine's sluggish economy in exchange for harsh and politically unpopular austerity measures. Russia offered $15 billion and didn't ask Yanukovych to change much of anything. Unsurprisingly, he rejected the EU deal and opted for Moscow's bailout instead. Thousands of angry Ukrainians took to the streets in protest, and they haven't left.

Jimmy Dore is left wing not right. Need any more corrections?

From the Wikipedia article on Utkin

The Wikipedia that's literally edited by western intelligence agencies? Worth less than used toilet paper.

Ukraine's far-right unified in the last election under the Svoboda party. They won 2,16% of the vote [wikipedia.org], putting Ukraine the weakest electoral performance by the far right [lemde.fr] in all of Europe.

All opposition has been banned. They're all far right. And a red herring when the Banderites will happily assassinate you. Did the American mafia have power because they got so many Dons elected to Congress, or because they'd kill you if you crossed them or got in their way?

What, you mean like the Russian governor of occupied Donetsk outright giving an award [romea.cz] to a guy with a Totenkopf patch? Or all of the numerous Russian officials who have praised or given awards to the puppy-eating, unabashed Nazi, Milchakov [google.is]?

Now do Jon Stewart giving a medal to a Nazi at Disneyland. Or the Canadian parliament giving a standing ovation to a Nazi from WWII. Only 20+ million reasons why no one hates Nazis more than Russians.

Also, contrary to the misinfo sites you read, that was not a photo of "one of Zelensky's bodyguards". That was from his visit to Izyum where he was posing with random soldiers from the 25th Separate Secheslav Airborne Brigade to celebrate the retaking of the city from the Russians. That's why everyone has their phone out to take selfies.

And if you believe that I have some oceanfront property to sell you in Iowa. Reminder: you still have negative 10 billion credibility after Assange was arrested and wasn't immediately put on a plane to Sweden.

I really am having a lot of trouble even understanding what you're so angry about.

I don't understand what you don't understand about propaganda and hypocrisy. The western narrative is that communism/Russia was and is bad because of this one famine, but never mind all the capitalist famines throughout history.

So what the ever living fuck are you banging on about then?

For the same reason you'd be annoyed in 2025 if someone was still going on about the Iraq war being over WMD's and Saddam planning 911.

Duh.

What does any of that have to do with Beethoven and Wagner?

All pathetic western propaganda, that's what. Do you like dogs, paintings or vegetables? WELL DO DID HITLER. The composer claim vis a vis the Wagner merc group is the dumbest in the history of the human race.

I wasn't raised to despise "the Soviets", not as individual people. I didn't even know about Holodomor until relatively recently.

You realize that's worse, right? Those who were raised so have an excuse, grown assed adults have none for falling for bad western propganda after the lies told about Iraq.

You seem obsessed with being taught to hate the right kind of people.

Speaking of obsessions, the only one going on here about "hating people" is you, Sparky. What gives?

That article is from almost 8 years ago. I'm sure we could find some other Slashdot article from 8 years ago that you commented on that you've completely forgotten about by now.

WMD's! Babies in incubators! It's all the same bad baseless western propaganda. No one hates Nazis more than Russians. Over 20 million reasons why.

Your first sentence contradicts the second. And as I've pointed out to other capitalist children, don't you find it odd that you were raised to despite the Soviets for Holodomor, but not the Americans for deliberately starving the plains tribes via the extermination of buffalo, or the Brits for murdering a million Irish and over a hundred million Indians via starvation. Also how famines happened on the regular under the Tsars but you weren't propagandized to despise that because the Tsars were nice elitist capitalists.

Take care of your own lists.

I'm spitting indisputable facts, gullible muppet.

It's. Right. There. On. Video. Stop embarrassing yourself.
