    Man, you and I both know Russia is not there to kill Nazis. Yeah there are Nazis in Ukraine but this is not a materialist understanding of the conflict and you know it. Ukrainian Nazis did not pose an existential threat to Russia. Russia attacked Ukraine because it saw NATO expansion in the region as a threat. It labeled this as a redline numerous times. The Nazi thing is convenient but liberals don’t even like fighting nazis. You aren’t going to convince anyone of anything like this. Why agitate in this way? What is the point?

    I see your posts often and they have always perplexed me. Why use RT as a source on this conflict? Yeah it shows the other side of the war but just like western news on this issue it too is an arm of propaganda. I just can’t see you changing any minds or naturally fostering a materialist understanding in this manner

      They aren’t trying to do either, they want to rage bait people into debating them so they can le epically SMASH them with facts and logic.

      You can have multiple reasons. NATO = Nazi Adolf Terrorist Obersturmfuhrer, a nazi regime supporting the expansion of a nazi organization. End result is the same, dead nazis

        You really think people will buy this nonsense? You can make any acronym mean anything.

        Focus on the nazis and authoritarians in your own damn country.
