That was my entire point dude. The Afghan people didn’t want to fight the Taliban. They let them waltz right in. Because they’re ideologically aligned. The situation is the opposite in Ukraine. They are fighting with everything they have. If you watch any footage you’ll see that. Daring Humvee raids with LMGs blazing. Personal drones dropping explosives on tanks and infantry. Everyone hunkered down in trenches. War.Nailed it. Yeah, the people that beat back the ussr and the usa for about 20 years each just rolled over for the taliban.
Or, perhaps, just mayhaps, that's what they prefer?
Dude. Just stop.
If you know then tell us? I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't want Putin to invade in the first place. Obviously. Because the best way to empower fascists is to make them sympathetic freedom fighters in the eyes of the public by invading their country.No, it isn't. Maybe (hopefully, for your own sake) one day you'll see. And that's yet again a strawman argument: surprise, surprise, surprise! Golly! (I never said they don't have the right to defend themselves.)
Diony supports this war because he is a Marxist, for ideological reasons, not for the same "reasons" you do. He's just giving you/them lip-service because the narrative works.
I know why Marxists want the war in Ukraine. You're a self-identified and proud Marxist.

Us who? I'm not going to explain to you, an admitted Marxist, why Marxists are so gung ho about war in Ukraine.If you know then tell us? I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.

Dion called zelensky a fascist, everyone!
Hahahahahaha
Azov and the Nazi factions within Ukraine yes. Zelensky is not one of them.So, you're saying we and putin are empowering the fascist zelensky?
AGREED!
Are you drunk? That's twice you've misinterpreted my references today. They weren't vague.Dion called zelensky a fascist, everyone!
Hahahahahaha
He just does preciesly what they tell him toAzov and the Nazi factions within Ukraine yes. Zelensky is not one of them.
Turnabout is fair play.Are you drunk? That's twice you've misinterpreted my references today. They weren't vague.

A) The Afghan Army was supposed to be a bulwark against them retaking Kabul. They folded in two seconds. Because they were only there to mooch US paychecks and didn't actually care about fighting the Taliban or women's education or democracy or any of the other reasons we were fed as to why we were there.A) the taliban didn't waltz in, they were already there. That who we were 'fighting.
B) I don't believe half the shit coming out of Ukraine.
Explain exactly how the Ukraine is ideologically opposed to Russia.
Us as in the thread. Anyone. Why not? I still have no idea what you're talking about. Why would Marxists want a war in Ukraine? I'm the one arguing with most of the other Marxists I know because they don't even want us sending weapons that will invariably end up in the hands of Azov. They see it as capitalist imperialism by proxy.Us who? I'm not going to explain to you, an admitted Marxist, why Marxists are so gung ho about war in Ukraine.
Zelensky is not Azov. Every military has fascist factions. What do think the Russian far-right is? We certainly have our own fair share here. I was talking about Mariupol and Azov, not Kiev and Zelensky. He's Jewish and lost family in the Holocaust for pete's sake. His grandfather and all his great uncles fought the Nazis in the Red Army. You have to be really far down the rabbit hole to honestly think he's a Nazi.You tell me exactly how I misinterpreted this.
English, mf'er! Do you speak it? What ain't no country!
The point of NATO is the containment of Russia.
Parents are the problem. They don't discipline their kids, dont push them to work hard, hand them a smart phone in 2nd grade, and don't get involved with the school. And the parents of today's parents passed stupid ass laws making all school funding dependent on standardized test scores. So now teachers don't teach knowledge, they teach kids how to memorize for a test.We don't have to go all the way back to 1912 to know that government run schools are producing kids that know less & less. I firmly believe that kids during the 1970's was better educated after they finished the 8th grade than people that are receiving high school diplomas are today. Parents, get your kids out of these government run indoctrination sewers TODAY, not next school year but TODAY.

How is that different from what I said? You think NATO stopped caring when Russia quit being communist? They would've just dissolved, having successfully brought capitalism to the former Soviet states. No, they gained membership after the fall of the Soviet Union because Eastern Europe and the Baltic states realized it was only a matter of time before Russia tried again and NATO represents the cross Atlantic alliance.The point of NATO was to ensure that your fellow travelers never brought their brand of equity to Paris and London. Period. If you can find a NATO document post 1991 that states as such, please share it.

Uptick in dead whales along East Coast sparks intense debate among environmentalists over offshore wind
An increase in whale deaths has led to a debate between environmental groups over the role of offshore wind development which opponents argue poses a risk to marine life.www.foxnews.com
It's doesn't require being dumb. It only requires blind faith or fear.Controlling the masses requires dumbing them down.
roteThat test is a really neat artifact. Love seeing stuff like that come out of Kentucky. Few issues with how you’re representing it though. That is the 8th grade test to continue on and qualify for secondary education that comes from an institution. Basically the equivalent of college entrance today. Combine that with the emphasis on wrote date memorization that’s irrelevant to our modern world where we all have computers in our pockets now and it’s really not that hard.
Azov Battalion. The far-right ultra-nationalist Nazi party in Ukraine based in Mariupol. Controls a handful of seats in their Parliament. Their symbol is the SS. They run summer camps for youth instilling Ukrainian nationalism. Anti-Russian. Training them for this war. Been fighting smaller version of it for more than eight years now in the Donbas. Local sectarian violence mixed with frontline global politics. Full on Nazi tattoos, not pink-haired liberals calling people Nazis in US. We armed them for years and there was debate in Congress over it ending in a snuck-in amendment to a bill banning arms sales to them in 2018. Guess what there isn't debate over now? Guess where our top-of-the-line arms are going now? Guess who literally had the whole world's media writing sob stories about them and trying to cut deals for their extraction from the Azovstal Iron and Steel Works?So who exactly were you referring to? And you don't have to German circa 1935-1945 to be a fascist, you.commie nut.

Real life is more complicated than ZELENSKY IS NAZI! No he isn't. You're being directly fed that nonsense from Russian internet presence. Putin is only empowering said Nazis, not destroying or disarming or whatever other bullshit he feeds his masses. Putin is after control over every corridor into Russia proper. He's waged several actions in Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Crimea already to secure them. Ukraine is the latest and Moldova would've been next had Ukraine gone well. It is imperative to the stability of the entire world that it not go well.
Speaking of having a computer in your pocket, I shoulda caught that one lol.rote
"Imperial Russia"! Do you think I give a rat's ass about "Imperial Russia"? If you are as familiar with history as you claim that you are, you would realize Russia was no more (and no less) malignant that any other Great Power of Europe from the 16th century until the Communists took over. Be that as it may, if you're worried about "Imperial Russia", I suggest you find another hobby. Live life, be happy, mind your business, and make money. There is more to life than getting all fired up about shit you can't control, anyway.How is that different from what I said? You think NATO stopped caring when Russia quit being communist?

The Cold War was just the latest iteration of the Great Game and all the other expansions and contractions of empires throughout history. Putin doesn't want to rebuild the Soviet Union, he wants to rebuild Imperial Russia. Listen to his very own words. Sweden and Finland don't want to join NATO to escape communism. They want our f***ing tanks and men and nukes to defend against Putin doing the same thing to them.

Just astonishing levels of stupid.
I agree with much of this. Calling them NAZIS is an insult to the WW2 generation that fought the real thing.... Azov is to a Nazi as Bruce Jenner is to a real woman.Azov Battalion.
