spacetoaster posted:This your first war? basically yes Cpt_Obvious posted:Their priorities are clinging to power. And killing scale goats is the fascism 101 method for enforcing loyalty. I'm trying to imagine how western media will report on stuff like this a decade from now. I doubt people will really even care about it in 10 years if the conflict ends "peacefully." Still, some of the whitewashings we typically do for things like U.S. military intervention were possible because we really strictly controlled who got to report on our invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. Now, it seems like there are so many opportunities to cover what's going on in Ukraine that shouting down competing narratives will be infinitely more difficult gradenko_2000 posted:The position I've seen adopted even by "moderates" in the Ukrainian government is that "eliminating" these people simply prevents them from voting the wrong way in the future ack, drat. gradenko_2000 posted:If you want to know what it's like when a society is drained of teachers via mass death, look no further than the United States of America very true

NeatHeteroDude posted:due process for military court at like, the very least. is there no one in the Ukrainian government who sees a big problem with murdering lots of people consequence-free? won't this have big long-term ramifications on the relationship between Ukraine and its citizens? i understand that the answer is "no, they don't care." but I don't get how they're prioritizing their goals The elected Ukrainian government couldn't control the nazi militias when there was a ceasefire and half-assed peace plan. They're not going to control them now.

I also posted yesterday, and others I think reposted since, things like what's happening now in Kherson are actively withheld from even friendly allied Western reporters. The Ukrainian government was revoking press permissions from journalists who entered Kherson and shot or released unapproved material. Even CNN got in trouble for it. Since the beginning of the conflict you can see the uneven narratives in plain sight. The amnesty report getting slammed so hard that Ukrainians who worked for amnesty got put on kill lists and were forced to resign and renounce amnesty international or face possible death. The reports of weapon shipments going missing being suppressed before they can air. etc

Ardennes posted:The longer this war goes on, I don’t think it is better for the Ukrainians. The Russians are taking hits to the face but the question if they are going to tap out or not. Typically, fighters tap to submission holds, not strikes. Tapping to strikes is verboten- clearly a sign of a broken warrior.

Ukraine isn't going to kill any teachers. Teachers usually vote Democrat and oppose Trump which means they're on the same side as Ukraine. Please... learn a little more history.
