In defence of Russia

Oh gosh, you flatter me.
:slight_smile:
I am a medium thinker. But I think I access a wider range of facts and opinions than many of my detractors here do. I encourage folks to take in a wide variety of sources.

Bullshit referendum. Read the whole article:

Of course. But the poll is rock solid. Sure.
Also the Russians are building ever more military units from volunteers from the Donbas areas. Along with all the previous military units that the Donbas people themselves built to fight for their independence alongside the Russian forces.
Ukraine military has been at war with the Donbas for years. Before the Russians came in. It was one reason the Russians did come in.
The Ukraine military did not build fortifications and station their forces at the eastern edge of Ukraine to defend against the Russians. But along the Luhansk, Donetsk borderlines. They were fighting Ukrainians of Russian ethnicity for years. Killing thousands. The war started years before Russia entered.

No, Gaddafi was using African unity as cover for his terrible regime. He called for unity, yet never met a murderous dictator or rebellion movement he wouldn’t back.

Don’t use us Africans as a shield for a terrible dictator with such nutjob ideas as returning all of Africa to the motherfucking gold standard.

The Ukraine war did not start in February.

Maybe be you should ask French-speaking Belgians whether they want to he part of France. Or French-speaking Swiss, for that matter.

Language isn’t everything.

Your mastery of history is a joke. The new China is the PRC government. The Republic of China government which fled to Taiwan is the old China.

Again, your mastery of history is a joke. The Republic of China government has not ever, and is quite unlikely to ever, break away from its sovereign nation. That government happened to be the legitimate government of the country and has never dissolved.

You might also learn that there are business interests from both sides on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. Saber rattling from the PRC side is first and foremost for political consumption within the PRC and secondly to antagonize the ROC government. Even communists know this is not the time to destroy their own economy.

And your posts regarding Russia and Ukraine are ignorant and completely lacking in an understanding of reality and the history of both countries. You are certainly ignoring the simple fact that Putin attacked Ukraine yet again without actual provocation.

Why? Kedikat is a worthless hateful Russian troll who is here only to spread pro-Russian and anti-Western propaganda, to celebrate the greatness of Putin, and to blame NATO, Ukraine, and especially the US for apparently forcing Putin to invade Ukraine.

The fucker should be banned for hate speech.

To fully appreciate this, one needs to understand Rashism (also called Russism), a hateful and extremist fascist ideology closely associated with Vladimir Putin, and championed here by Kedikat. The symbol of Rashism is a stylized “Z”, reminiscent of a swastika, and is the reason that “Z” is painted on all the Russian war machines attacking Ukraine and killing its citizens.

 

Rashism, a portmanteau of “Russia” and “fascism”, also known as Ruscism, Russism, or Russian fascism is a term used by a number of scholars, politicians and publicists to describe the political ideology and social practices of the Russian authorities during the rule of Vladimir Putin. It is also used to refer to the ideology of Russian military expansionism, and has been used as a label to describe an undemocratic system and nationality cult mixed with ultranationalism and a cult of personality. That transformation was described as based on the ideas of the “special civilizational mission” of the Russians, such as Moscow as the third Rome and expansionism, which manifests itself in anti-Westernism and supports regaining Imperial lands by conquest.

… According to [President of Ichkeria Dzhokhar Dudayev], Ruscism is “a variety of hatred ideology which is based on Great Russian chauvinism, spiritlessness and immorality. It differs from other forms of fascism, racism, and nationalism by a more extreme cruelty, both to man and to nature. It is based on the destruction of everything and everyone, the tactics of scorched earth. Ruscism is a schizophrenic variety of the world domination complex. This is a distinct version of slave psychology, it grows like a parasite on the fabricated history, occupied territories and oppressed peoples.”

Putin is a ruthless thug who, along with a handful of oligarchs who support and protect him, has stolen hundreds of billions of dollars from the Russian people and imagines himself a czar-like potentate who will further enrich himself and extend his power by expanding the Russian empire to any and all adjacent neighboring countries.

With that in mind, it’s worthwhile to examine some of Kedikat’s comments in the “Russia invades Ukraine” thread, before he was finally told by a moderator to knock it off. He has been a bit more circumspect in this thread, where he knows he will be called out on it, but observe his earlier posts back in that other thread. My own observations are in italics prior to each one.

Kedikat begins by parroting the Kremlin line “the Russians are winning”

Kedikat informs us that the Russians have been very, very careful not to cause civilian casualties. (They have definitely not bombed apartment buildings, hospitals, and even children’s shelters. Definitely not!)

Anything Russia does is justified:

Russia has no expansionist ambitions at all! Putin is a fine fellow who has no imperialist ambitions at all to return to the old days of Soviet glory! The war is all the fault of the US! (Fact: Not only is Putin’s Rashism blatantly imperialistic and genocidal, but he fancies himself a latter-day czar; he has czarist imagery all over the $15 billion ultra-luxurious palace he built for himself with money stolen from the Russian people.) (Bolding mine below.)

In addition to Kedikat’s poor command of English, the occasional lapses into Russian grammar (like dropping the indefinite article here) are interesting.

In case anyone missed his first statement that the Ukraine invasion is all the fault of the US, he repeats it a second time:

In case anyone missed how much Kedikat loves Putin, he reasserts it here:

In short, Kedikat is a Putin-loving anti-Western, anti-US, Ukraine-hating Russian troll and propagandist for Russian fascism and Russian hegemony.

Seconded. And thank you very much, Wolfpup, for taking the trouble of copying and pasting all those quotes, I’m sure it was not fun to re-read that crap.

Coming soon to a Republican primary near you!

What the absolute fuck are you talking about? An invasion is not a coup. A war is not a failed coup. You need to spend some time with a dictionary and a really disappointed middle school history teacher.

Thank you @wolfpup for summarizing his crap.

And… He’s doing a really shitty job of it.

I am referring there to the Maidan incident. It happened years before Russia invaded.
Two links. With different views of it. Facts in both. Slants to both. It was a big turning point. Stirred up a lot of things that had been simmering for a long time.

Oh. My. God. You. Didn’t. Just. Cite. Conservapedia.

You do if you’re a fucking attention seeking troll.

Yeah I know it is slanted. So I posted the other one first. Noting it.

He’s a fucking moron, of course he did.

It’s not “slanted”. Conservapedia is batshit stupid. They blamed Einstein’s Theory of Relativity for MORAL RELATIVISM for fuck’s sake. That’s so wrong it’s not vegetable let alone potato.

Save us all time and just cite Putin!

Better still, @Kedikat, save us all time and just fuck right off, you fucking hateful troll. You’re a lying piece of shit that is not worth engaging with. I’m really disappointed that the OP gave you a venue to spew your hate.
