As far as I can tell, this prolifically posting account has literally never posted an article that wasn’t negative on Ukraine, and posts about 90% negative on the West in general. For whatever that’s worth.
And half the comments in this thread are from queermunist, who’s all for the “just let Russia have what it wants and everything will be great” side.
The flood of Rexiters did a lot to smother the tankie presence on the Lemmyverse, but it’s clearly still a strong undercurrent.
You joined a platform founded and inhabited by Marxist Leninist and checks notes … expected them to leave. Wtf?
No, I expected them to go hide in their little corner of it when the bulk of the population moving here turned out to reject their particular view on reality.
Whether they “founded” the platform is irrelevant, it’s an open platform and they’re going to be in the minority.
Edit: Oh, and since you switched the goalposts from tankies to “Marxist Leninists”, I figured I should point that out. I’m specifically talking about the people who think Russia’s full of awesome and manliness and crap like that, rather than being the kleptocratic mafia state basket case it actually is. “Marxist Lenninism” is just a word those people use to sound intellectual.
I hate myself for bringing the likes of you from datahoarder. Liberals are brainwormed…
In the past day I’ve been described as being “from” noncredibledefense and “from” datahoarder. I do happen to subscribe to both those communities, but I’m not “from” anywhere in particular. Those are just some of many subjects I’m interested in. It’s odd, this sort of community identification never seemed to come up on Reddit. And you personally certainly didn’t bring me here, I don’t know who you are.
Also, not sure why you’ve identified me as a “Liberal.” Haven’t voted for them in several elections now.
I was the one who made the big post for datahoarder to consider Lemmy as second base. Funny you are so active here.
That’s not why I came here, though. I was active on a great many other subreddits, and I “found out” about the Fediverse through other channels. I think I recall seeing that post, now that you mention it, but as I recall I already had an account here (or perhaps on lemmy.ml, which I tried out for a bit before switching to kbin.social).
What’s “funny” about me being so active here? I was active on lots of different subreddits on Reddit. You’re active here too apparently, is that “funny?” Honestly, I have no idea what point you’re trying to make.
😂 Lol
We joined a platform founded and inhabited by Marxist leninists and checks notes … Expected them to not support an authoritarian capitalist country. Is that really too much to ask?
Glad you understand what America is, and why the Marxist-Leninist here criticize it. Welcome home.
Eager to see what coping everyone switches to when it becomes obvious to Ukraine that the deal Russia offered in 2022 before the Kiev withdrawal was the best possible reality they would ever see again. Little Weimar on the Dnieper. No NATO, no EU, no Donbass, no Crimea.
Then again the epic bacon sirs will probably be given a new shiny thing in Asia or Africa to focus on.
Here’s another one.
Lol, it’s like finding shitty Easter eggs
Wow, not even a crumb of cope? What about the jets? Potential gamechanger I think.
I feel like I could invade your home unprovoked and take over your kitchen, eventually trashing up the floors to setup trenches to prevent you from retaking it and you’d just agree to negotiate and let me take your bedroom to fuck your mother.
Yeah and public spending is just like personal finances, don’t you agree?
I mean, I’m very wealthy, and the country I live in is also very wealthy. And we both agree we can spend pennies of the vast amount of our tax dollars to fuck up a shithole struggling incompetent third-world country like Russia through a highly competent proxy like Ukraine without lifting a finger. So yes I agree.
You also didn’t refute what I said about invading your home, so you sound like a tankie cuck. PM me your address please and I can help show your beautiful kind mother a good time.
Posting “90% negative on the West in general” is still softballing it.
But yeah… still lots of pro-Russian propaganda flowing around here.
I guess Washington Post is Russian propaganda now…
I didn’t attack the source. I just pointed out that someone posting more than most on lemmy could push a certain point of view using any and all sources if they cherry pick.
Democrats are working hard for Putin, after blaming Trump.
Thanks for looking into it!
Well I don’t believe you’re real either.
If this is a play on my username, I laughed.
Denys Davydov did video on these type of comments about a week ago. He dragged up a lot of newspaper front pages of the invasion of the Nazis in 1945. There was a ton of articles stating just how slow the move was going. An attacking force is always going to have a hard time against a very entrenched enemy. You also have to remember Ukraine does not have a good air force until they get those pilots trained up for the F-16. They are making gains and are knocking on the second defence line in two areas. Any gains Russia has made they loose 2 days later, with the exception of Bakhmut.
And another important thing to bear in mind is that the start of the advance is the hardest part of the advance. Russia has built up a thick crust of defensive lines. At some point the advance penetrates that crust, and then the gooey center goes much more quickly.
Now I want cupcakes. Dammit.
I respect him as a voice of reason
Unfortunately Russia’s strategy of mining the front so heavily it won’t be safe for a hundred years is proving pretty effect at slowing the Ukrainian advance. I hope the rest of the world never lets up on the sanctions. Russia is a fucked backwater that loves war crimes. They need to be punished.
Excessive sanctions long after the reason for them can have a detrimental long term outcome. I am with you to sanction hard while they occupy even one square inch and I emotionally want then to pay for long after but in the name of stability, that is not the best option.
The reality is that this conflict is only being driven by a relatively small number of people. Everyone else is along for the ride or being brainwashed. Punish those people for life but unfortunately that will never cover the economic cost much less that of life.
hope the rest of the world never lets up on the sanction
Sadly only some countries sanction Russia. As long as the Democratic alliance doesn’t sanction everyone who doesn’t sanction Russia, Russia will continue the war.
They love war crimes? We love war.
Ukraine is fighting for their existence, russia is fighting for the oligarchs. Ukraine will prevail.
That’s the hope but that didn’t save Georgia.
I will try to remember this in 6 months.
is 1 week special operation going well ?
Source on where Putin said 3 days?
Can’t even read. Poor tankie
You have not provided the source, illiterate white poster.
In soviet russia, week has three days apparently.
You do not even know what lie West made up to troll Russia… atleast troll worthy enough of being paid.
Nice decapitalisation of country’s initials, Nazi scum.
Is the tankie gonna cry?
No, laugh at a worthless INGFASHie like you. Eventually you teenagers and young adults are going to find yourselves on the streets begging overlord corporations for food stamps and necessities, and therein lies the possibility of communist revolutions by the very citizens of white countries purging elements like you.
u mad tankie? awwwww, just go upstairs, mummy is still there
Eat shit and get diarrhea. And then pay $100s for medicines. You might just get back your senses.
Nah, we got socialized healthcare here in Canada.
Shit rashists say.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukraine appears to be running out of options in a counteroffensive that officials originally framed as Kyiv’s crucial operation to retake significant territory from occupying Russian forces this year.
Meanwhile, a war weary Ukrainian public is eager for leaders in Kyiv to secure victory and in Washington, calls to cut back on aid to Ukraine are expected to be amplified in the run up to the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
“The question here is which of the two sides is going to be worn out sooner,” said Franz-Stefan Gady, a senior fellow with the International Institute for Strategic Studies and the Center for a New American Security, who visited Ukraine in July.
Sak, the adviser to the defense minister, said the slow progress clearing extensive mine fields along the front is preventing Kyiv from engaging the majority of its Western-trained reserve forces.
Ukrainian forces have retaken roughly 81 square miles of occupied territory since the counteroffensive began in June, with the greatest gains occurring near Bakhmut in the east and in the Zaporizhzhia region south of Orikhiv.
The Biden administration has “very successfully” managed risk of a direct conflict with Russia by gradually providing Kyiv with more advanced weapons systems and longer-range munitions, said Kelly Grieco, who researches air power operations as a senior fellow at the Stimson Center, a D.C.-based policy group.

Is there a reason the European powers aren’t chipping in? They realize Putin is going to invade them next, right?
What makes you think European powers aren’t chipping in?

Where did you get this from?
History. No bloodthirsty conqueror ever stopped conquering until someone stopped him, usually by killing him.
Nukes
Wouldn’t munitions like the HIMARS with tungsten balls set off these mines they’ve used?
Why not make smaller versions to shot gun blast a path?
“Shot gun blast a path” through the minefield. Brilliant, now you have all the troops in a line ready to be mowed down by the Russians.
If it were that easy they would have done it already.

Quick, throw more money on the fire!
Better than the tankie method of using lives instead!
It’s good use for the money, this way it’s not used to buy Russian fossil fuel or help billionaires commit suicide in expensive vanity submarines.
