I've found the "I'm not owned, you're owned" titles of porn videos to be quite amusing over the last couple of years: "Sexy Ukrainian gets destroyed by big Russian dick" "Ukrainian cuck watches as hot girlfriend takes enormous Russian dick" etc etc It's nice to know that porn producers/recyclers have found a way to make money from the geopolitical situation. [edit] I'm leaving this at the top of the page, since it goes well with the thread title

I'll freely admit that I am almost entirely ignorant on the topic and don't really understand the Russia/Ukraine situation, but it's not clear to me why the UK & US are arming anyone there, or really are involved at all.

A war would practically wipe out all previous agreements on which the European security system is based on (OSCE and others in which they are all signatories in), i.e. that countries don't go invading and annexing their neighbours. This would be a massive crisis, leading to new militarization wave akin to the Cold War. Then there's the likelihood of a few million Ukrainian refugees coming to Poland.

Actually it is cool and good that nationalist revanchism is back: if a country decides to issue a diplomatic warning that there will be serious consequences for a neighbour joining a defensive pact and then mass troops on the border, outsiders should keep their stupid faces out of it. Like, manufacturing consent is a thing and one should always be properly suspicious of their governments and friendly media stoking belligerence but come the gently caress on, the proximate cause for the UK press signal-boosting angry nationalist Ukrainians (who, being angry nationalists, are bound to have a lot of fascists in their ranks) is that Russia has, verifiably, (1) annexed part of Ukraine in the last few years; and (2) issued a diplomatic request that Ukraine promise not to join NATO and that NATO retreat from the rest of the former Warsaw Pact countries such as Poland, Lithuania and Latvia (the latter probably is just a “gently caress you” and not a real request, but still). Source: The Russian Foreign Ministry’s website. Russia also appears to have massed troops on the border, which is a thing you do if someone else is about to invade you (not obviously the case right now) or if you are about to invade someone else. I think all this stuff is relevant to the UK thread really; the UK is part of NATO and it’s relevant that non-NATO countries are warning their neighbours not to join or else, and formally sending out draft agreements that require NATO to pull back to pre-1997 borders. It’s all part of a general erosion of norms that probably got started when Bush invaded Iraq.

Beefeater1980 posted:Diplomatic warning that there will be serious consequences for a neighbour joining a defensive pact This is not a warning, it is just a plain statement of how Article 5 works, which Putin seems to understand better than the western media. Ukraine is in an active territorial dispute. If it joins NATO (it won't) that means all the member states automatically get pulled into a war with Russia. NOBODY wants this. Beefeater1980 posted:Russia also appears to have massed troops on the border. Based on US satellite photos of already-existing training bases 100km+ from the actual border and the subsequent guesswork + hype of US intel analysts. Beefeater1980 posted:NATO retreat from the rest of the former Warsaw Pact countries such as Poland, Lithuania and Latvia (the latter probably is just a “gently caress you” and not a real request, but still NATO promised never to expand into these countries after the wall fell and kept that promise for all of 5 seconds. So who's the expansionist?

I'm about to leave for work, but if anyone knows the article that explains the exact process by which NATO is arming Ukraine and how it does involve them being able to vet who within the country actually gets the gear, I'd love to see it, that sounds like an interesting read. I'm the first to admit I suck at Google, but the most detailed thing I could find was an article about training exercises designed to bring Ukraine's military "up to NATO standard in preparation for their joining", published on a Tanzanian website called "The Citizen" last August. Not a website I'd heard of before and that's a bit out of date by now. Whatever Rusty's thinking of must have been swamped by news articles about the general situation for me.

If there's one word I wish I could ban from the media it would be "destroyed". I have come to utterly detest that word. Like, the gold standard for "destroyed" would be "senator, you're no Jack Kennedy", and nothing I've seen the word "Destroyed" attached to in the last 10 years even rises close to that level.

My understanding is that an ambassador suggested something of the sort to Gorbachev, "given the current international situation", but he didn't have the power to make promises like that, they never got it in writing and in any case Gorbachev is long gone, as is that international situation.

https://twitter.com/marclister3k/status/1380169852292378630?s=21 This keeps circulating on Twitter now the figure head of the vigil arrests is popping back up. For the first time I can’t tell if I’m getting sucked into some vast conspiracy, that there are links between fascists and genuine police agitator plants or it’s all just some weird conspiracy. My guess is it’s some where very in between, with grifters hijacking protests.

One of these expansions has taken the form of countries asking to join and being approved. Tbe other has taken the form of covert funding to separatist movements followed by rolling in the "peacekeeping" tanks, and statements like... Well, this. Vladimir Putin posted:During the recent Direct Line, when I was asked about Russian-Ukrainian relations, I said that Russians and Ukrainians were one people – a single whole. These words were not driven by some short-term considerations or prompted by the current political context. It is what I have said on numerous occasions and what I firmly believe.

Given how the last time Russia invaded it did so with little fanfare how likely is it that all the Ukraine shenanigans is going to end with half of Lithuania seceding to join Russia.

Are you going to pretend that someone believing in a pan-slavic identity is inherently horrifying? I'm pretty sure this thread is going to have a decent amount of people who aren't exactly against Tito, or Nasser, or Haile Selassie, or Malcolm X, or describing themselves as Europeans while cheerfully confronting people who would gatekeep that identity and shared history. The statement is only controversial because of how Russia has acted on that belief in Georgia. He may as well have said holubsti was the ideal food

See the silly thing is, I wonder if most of the people in the post-Soviet countries would, in the early 1990s, have been more than happy to remain united with one another. Obviously there were exceptions like in the Baltics, but the CIS always felt like a top down imposed thing to me for many. If you asked your average Ukrainian back then if they wanted independence, I'd be shocked if a majority said yes. Most of the USSR was against the breakup at the time, but a minority of nationalists were able to force through secession in all the chaos. Obviously that has no bearing on 2022 politics, but it's interesting to think that had things gone only slightly differently the idea of a Russia-Ukraine conflict would be a laughable absurdity.
