CRP seems very comfortable with the motives of the Russians and their invasion of Ukraine, but very out of touch with the Ukrainian people who do not want to be "captured" and placed under the control of a puppet regime. I'm pretty sure every Ukrainian who received a weapon understands that they are now a combatant, and more than willing to wear that badge in defense of their country.
The first part of what you describe is a little different, what you are describing is similarity between languages in the Slavic family. What I meant was more like introducing slightly different word forms which nobody uses and everybody finds alien, then pretty much mandating that you have to use the made up language so as not to be like the other Slav with whom you have 99 percent intelligibility and with whom you used to share a country until two years ago. This creates confusion among the speakers, even a strange synthetic kind of linguistic nationalism, hence your experience at the border. An old form of psyop really.
He was only visiting Kiev, not the country as a whole. He lives in Kharkiv. His kids are there. His wife is Ukrainian.
You guys act like this is the Battle of Stalingrad or some shit. The weapon distribution is obviously for propaganda purposes, and it's remarkable that you would not acknowledge this.
I already gave you your answer. Please allow me to paraphrase my previous post#19841 (COVID19 Factors We Should Consider/Current Events). Simply put, you don't have to care and I have no desire to make you care. However, this does not explain why you decided to give your input regarding my previous post regarding my response to a different poster refusing to call this an invasion from post #19827. That was the post you were clearly responding to. Note the date from that post was from 2/27/22, clearly after the invasion began. You later responded stating that you do not care about either Russia or Ukraine and stated that your prior questions were "rhetorical". Maybe you misused the word "rhetorical", but here is the definition"
Did it occur to you that the reason I responded the way I did was because I knew you were making an attempt at grandstanding? What you don't want to answer is why did you initially respond to my previous post (where I was responding to a different poster) asking a question and demanding answers to a completely unrelated statement? I will try to leave other posters names out of this as I am addressing you, but there were several posts since where other posters have tried to lessen the reality of what was going on, stating things such as "they received a email from a guy who said that no conflict was going on", and even more recently downplaying the number of deaths of civilians who were killed in the conflict. As another poster put it, these are likely statements that are not going to age well. That is the summary of our discussions so far. My only question for you is why do you feel entitled answers from me regarding statements I have made to completely separate topics that you were asking?Quote:
asked in order to produce an effect or to make a statement rather than to elicit information.
Here is why I care about the conflict. First, it is completely hypocritical for anyone to claim they are against tyranny and support Putin. Putin is tyranny and that goes far beyond the current conflict. But in regards to the current conflict I remember that last time a fella kept taking over territories in Europe and conducted large scale genocide. Let's just say it did not go well to say the least. Ukraine could be the modern day equivalent of Czechoslovakia. That other fella had his reasons as well for his actions, but no one wanted to stop him because they didn't want another war and the longer we neglected this the larger the problem became. What makes this even worse today is the current madman is literally threatening the use of nuclear weapons against those who oppose him. That concerns me, but as I said previously, I am not asking you to care. If you don't, please go about your day as I don't care to convince you.
As far as anyone stating that Putin may have valid reasons for his actions, I am certain you could have said the same thing about Osama Bin Laden regarding the flying of some planes into a few buildings. Do you know what negates any points he ever had? The flying of some fucking planes into a few buildings. Russia attacked Ukraine unprovoked. Any points they may have had are now invalid. Thousands of people are going to die and have died as the result of this attack. How many regular citizens who were a week ago waking up, going to work and raising their children are now being displaced as they become refugees in another country that is not their home? Once again, you don't have to care and I am not asking you to. What childhood trauma would you perceive to be worse, having your child endure wearing a mask in school, or having their fucking home exploded and family being displaced or dead? If we are so concerned about "the children" and standing up threatening violence at school board meetings for having to wear a mask, how can people support Putin/Russia for what they have done. Is the tyranny of wearing a mask worse then the tyranny of genocide? Also, yes, that was rhetorical. Once again, I'm not asking you to care and you have a valid option not to. What happens if Russia/Putin follow through with their threat to start using nuclear weapons? Will you care? What happens if one of those nuclear weapons is used to attack your country? Will you care and if so, will you people still be supporting Putin?
My Trip From Kiev to Kharkov Last Night (Birthday Stream) - YouTube
This CRP stuff is so entertaining. He explains his recent train trip across Ukraine after getting kicked out of his hotel because all the Russian TV stations are playing an edit of his rants to make him look like a rank Putin Propagandist sitting in the middle of Kiev. Now that is one hell of an adventure.
To those who believe this is, in fact, a bunch of propaganda: so what if it were? It's a million times more entertaining than the slop your side throws to the masses.
