V. Illych L. posted:nah russia's an old-school autocratic power at this point. they're much closer to imperial than nazi germany. i do agree, though, that overemphasising the fascist elements on the ukrainian side is a mistake, but one cannot really ignore them because they are a genuine force in ukrainian security policy nationalistic elements are a genuine force in Russia's policy too. They may be more oligarchic and less outwardly fascist, but the persecution of sexual and political minorities paints a clear fascistic picture. I think the 'nazi ukraine' thing being parrotted is in Russia's interest and it having a big element of truth is just cherry on top

As a clueless nerd that played arma once I'd expect to see NATO slamming all their assets to the eastern borders of NATO states to at least let putin know you're prepared to do more than kayfabe sanctions.

Well I woke up to 700 new posts that I won't read so I can only assume the brave Ukrainian military was capable of holding off the slavering Russian hordes until Joe Biden personally flew in on an F-35 and chased them away with bolts of lightning and laser beams.

Some Guy TT posted:taking a moment to appreciate that putin invading ukraine with such a small number of troops makes perfect sense if you assume that the ukraine military is a clown show that cant even be bothered to fight back consistently weird how none of the news stories hyping the invasion over the last month thought to mention this Same with the mud and the Dnieper not being frozen solid or thawed, and the airborne and amphibious attacks.

When fascist paramilitaries do a coup in the Kremlin because they think Putin isn't sufficiently nationalist enough, then maybe I'll grant there's a parallel.

Third World Reagan posted:when the world around you collapses, a systems collapse, you still go to work Yeah, when you view war from a news coverage perspective (or a a historic one) you always focus on the times where battles are happening and cities are destroyed but there's always some version of regular life going on in lots of places. Two years ago my grandmother told me that in a way, the Covid lockdown felt like more of a disruption of daily life than World War 2 because even at the height of the war, there still was church on sunday and market on saturday.

Asproigerosis posted:personally I wouldn't have made ukraine give up its nukes, made sure they were never actually going to be allowed into NATO, and then run a coup on them in 2014 when it looked like their commitment to NATO was about to waiver and install a neonazi regime thinking it'd work just fine as a bulwark against russian aggression. Active military intervention is pretty stupid at this point, but my gut feeling is you gotta do something better than halfassed sanctions. stupid

You know what the Ukraine is? It's a sitting duck. A road apple, America. The Ukraine is weak. It's feeble. I think it's time to put the hurt on the Ukraine.

a primate posted:if they’re still talking about sanctions when bimbos are dropping near kyiv, natos not gonna do anything right? Of course they're not, and they've been very clear about that. Nobody's starting WW3 over Ukraine. The whole point of dangling NATO membership out in front of them while never actually providing it was to guarantee we never had to actually defend them because we knew Russian invasion was too plausible to discount.
