Makes me glad that ponytailed cryptofacist tried to publish his Azov book back when it was still cool to hate Nazis

I'm sure it's been posted a million times but that clip of Zyuganov and Putin is fascinating:

https://twitter.com/boris_molotov/status/1699468914466464015?s=20

People mock it but what does it say that the Communist Party leader gets a seat at the table of power like this? What does it say when Russia's response to international sanctions has been nationalizations and autarky while Ukraine's response has been to let western capital plunder and colonize it? My view on the conflict has done a 180 since it began and I have learned more, there's no respectable argument against Russia being the more progressive side in this conflict and they deserve to win.

Stop treating the NATO excuse like it is anything real. NATO has been on Russia's border since its founding (Norway). Russia now has a vastly longer border with NATO than they did at the start of the war, and all they have done is continue to drain military resources from that border to use them in Ukraine. Russia is not afraid of NATO being on their border. What caused the war is that they view Ukraine as the natural slave of Russia, and they want to punish disobedience and exploit them as a colony, just like most of the rest of Russia outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg.

And for people still clinging to the NATO idea: if that was Russia's issue, then it was solved after 2014, because NATO was not going to let in a country at war with and occupied by Russia. Yet that did not stop them from full scale invasion. Russia has not been subtle about this people, Putin made a big speech about how they couldn't let Ukraine escape their grasp, oh I'm sorry 'slavic brotherhood and history', their propagandists have filled the airways with how Ukraine and the idea of Ukraine must be erased. It's not NATO. It was never NATO.

not sure what NATO being an 'excuse' for Russia has got to do with anything?

NATO is itself evil. Before this war it was evil. It will continue to be an evil destabalising force after the war. It is the military arm of the neoliberal religion currently seeking to conquer the entire globe so that all may know the unquestionable power of market.

Whether or not Russia merely used the dark forces on their border as an excuse is neither here nor there.

One would think that even an especially stupid liberal would be able to just look at a map, and understand why "having NATO on the border" with Ukraine is not exactly comparable with "having NATO on the border" with Norway.

NATO is not the threat; they are instead the freedom Ukraine seeks, and that Russia seeks to deny them. Now of course the "realists" love that, because they indeed think that Ukraine (and much of eastern europe) is rightfully the possession of Russia. But I would hope that anyone posting on Something Awful would not deny the right of countries to choose their own friendships.
