naught, to Ukraine_UA in ‘No, that’s fascism’: the librarian who defied Russia’s purge of LGBTQ+ books

Fahrenheit 451, 1984, Nazis, Russian fascists & oligarchs… All the real and fictional bad guys ban & burn books. Meanwhile Republicans in the US still think they’re the good guys despite all the parallels 😪

ArmoredThirteen,

Well they’re doing it for good reasons not like those other goofballs /s

“Putin first lied to us that civilians would never have to fight,” she says. “You start thinking: is he also lying about why we are in Ukraine?”

The man literally is incapable of telling the truth.

Fuck them all, I hope their husbands all die, they get called up after and also die.

We want a total demobilisation. Civilians should not be engaged in the fighting,” says one of the women at the start of the nine-minute address this month. “There are many of us, and our numbers will only grow

They don’t want peace. They just don’t want to be the ones risking their lives.

Drusas, to Ukraine_UA in Russia bombs central Kharkiv after attack on Belgorod – video

Russia: attacks Ukrainian civilians, killing Ukrainians

Ukraine: retaliates by attacking military targets in Russia

Russia: destroys some Ukrainian munitions over Russian civilian populations, killing Russians

Russia: how could Ukraine do this?! Retaliates against Ukraine by killing Ukrainian civilians

Drusas, to Ukraine_UA in Russia says strikes on Kharkiv were reaction to Ukraine’s attack on Belgorod

"Our attack is a retaliation in response to your retaliation to us killing your civilians."

It is disgusting and despicable that Republicans in my country are holding up aid to Ukraine for no reason other than political grandstanding.

hydroptic, to Ukraine_UA in Russia must be held accountable over Ukraine – we should seize its assets | Joseph Stiglitz and Andrew Kosenko

top US officials fear that setting such a precedent would deter other countries from depositing their funds at the New York Federal Reserve or holding them in dollars.

So in other words, the US is worried that the next time they invade a country on extremely flimsy pretenses, someone will do this to them.

And no, before anyone gets any bright ideas, I’m not pro-Russia, and I’m fully in favor of seizing their assets.

Maybe the US shouldn't invade other countries for bad purposes...

If only we could learn some lesson from this…

gravitas_deficiency, to Ukraine_UA in Italy urged to cancel pro-Russian events accused of spreading propaganda

Holy shit, they’re actually letting Dugin of all people do a conference where he’s one of the keynote speakers…? Jesus.

PugJesus, to Ukraine_UA in ‘Spymania’ sees Russia accuse US of plan to meddle in its election
@PugJesus@kbin.social avatar

lmao, pure projection on Putin's part. Why would we meddle in Russian elections? Putin already 'wins' regions by over 100% of the vote.

awwwyissss,

That’s where the GOP learned it.

mindbleach, to Ukraine_UA in ‘Spymania’ sees Russia accuse US of plan to meddle in its election

What election?

bedrooms, to Ukraine_UA in ‘Spymania’ sees Russia accuse US of plan to meddle in its election

If the US meddled to install Trump as Russian President, everybody will be happy. Even Trump, even Russians.

Jajcus,

Would you trust Trump more than Putin with Russian nuclear weapons?

bedrooms,

Ooof!

Well, we don't really trust Putin with nukes too much, but, yes, Trump is on a categorically different level.

gravitas_deficiency, to Ukraine_UA in ‘Spymania’ sees Russia accuse US of plan to meddle in its election

Ah, I see it’s projection season.

assembly, to Ukraine_UA in Ukraine levels up the fight with drone strikes deep into Russia

That is great to hear. I hope the Ukrainians are able to really ramp up production and really start to either impact Russian oil exports or get the Russians to move their anti aircraft installations away from the front. Hopefully both.

awwwyissss,

Yeah, seems like stopping fossil fuel exports is a good long term way to undermine the Kremlin’s funding.

realitista, to Ukraine_UA in EU must defend Ukraine even if US reduces military support, Macron says

Macron is nailing it here. I wish we heard more of it from him.
