We got to this point in the conversation because we all had been talking about whether or not Ukraine thinks it can actually retake Crimea anytime soon. My point is, I haven't seen anything that leads me to believe that they've bought that much into their own hype. It's possible they have; I'm just challenging the notion that it's a given.

i will be very surprised when the first ukrainian hears the whisle and goes over the barricades at armiansk. it's suicide, and won't happen

just a reminder, US has been waging a proxy war in ethiopia that has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced millions more. of course you won't hear about it in the west because the people have the wrong skin color, and also it's america doing the killings.

one of the interesting thigns is that elon sacked the "humans right team" at twitter who were the regime change wing of the us intelligence agencies

they were censoring ethiopian and eritrean voices in order to help the US proxy war lol

Nah, that's a perfectly valid position to take IMO. Others may disagree and are free to argue against it, but it's not a particularly hot take.

Whether it's Russian or not, Ukraine forcibly annexed Crimea in 1995, and occupied it until 2014. The Ukrainian government's desire to 'take back' Crimea is revanchist nonsense.

the tigray were and are the state department's preferred rulers of ethiopia, but disappointingly they held a free election and the much larger ethnic groups suddenly became more represented through magic or something, and that's bad

the civil war kicked off shortly after the 2021 election
basically this, US has also been doing an online information war and providing arms and supports to their favored party. also a little a bit of history, communists took over the country from the landed gentry and capital elite in 1970s, with helping of cuba and soviets and stuff, and lasted until the fall of the soviet union when US did a proxy war to install a more neoliberal party to become a vassal state to the US (mostly via TPLF). TPLF held the country until the late 2010s and then division broke out against the new prosperity party and the US-backed party, and america wasn't happy about that.
