With Wagner back in Russia, Putin is part of the way towards denazifying Ukraine, just need to pull out the rest of the Russian army to make Ukraine Nazi free

Am i remembering correctly that the Wagner group are overtly fascist?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

most articles from before their mutiny refered to them as a neo-nazi or white supremacist mercenary group.

I also distinctive remember pictures of them posing with lots of ww2 era Nazi equipment going arround in the News.

Isnt that Azov?

Which is extremely weird that so many people celebrating this like it can be a good thing.

It's good for Ukraine in the context of the war. You don't have to approve of the group itself. Also, who cares if they're fascist? They're already bad enough just from their actions as a PMC group.

If Prigo gets his hand on the nuclear button we (and Ukraine) are done for

The Wagner group are accused of committing war crimes, including rape, torture, and robbery. If you need them to also be fascists in order to condemn them, or think that the fascism is the worst part about them, your moral framework is fucked.

Also, saying 'Yeah, I'm glad there's internal conflict happening in Russia because it's showing that their war effort is falling apart, and raising the likelihood that Ukraine will come out victorious,' is not the same thing as saying 'Yes I love the Wagner group they are clearly the best.'

They sure are accused...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

What are you getting mad at, libs? I didn't even add the main bit.

...by people with no reputation of being truthful, who are themselves routinely involved in war crimes, including rape, torture, and robbery. As well as genocide and plundering of entire countries. AKA the "Collective" West. Better known as the US&Slaves Inc. ^_^

for a brief moment wagner became freedom fighters in western propaganda parlance 😂

Next hour’s news: it was an AI fake.

I’ll be honest, I have no idea what’s going on.

Yeah this is one of those conflicts where you hope they just murder the shit out of each other. Hopefully not too many civilians get caught in the crossfire.

Doesn’t Russia have any “good guys” that can step in and lead? I hear that Navalney is just as bad as Putin and Prigozhin. They have to have at least one person over there that isn’t terrible and can unite them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Putin has spent the last 30 years killing or imprisoning any sort of "good guy" who could unite the Russian people against him. All that's left are the sort of people who Putin could bribe or threaten into working with him. Usually both.

They are on such a steep demographic decline that the country will Balkanize as soon as Putin is out and the far East territories will be taken over by China

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

Downvoted yourself. Respect.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I wonder if China has a favorite.

Oleg Tinkof for tsar!

On second thoughts, amusing as that would be, perhaps not the best idea.

Annex Russia to Ukrane. The people want to be together, after all, I've been hearing that for years now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Dude I don’t think Ukraine wants them.

I hear kicking out all Canadians and giving the indigenous their land back is a good thing. Do you support it?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Nobody said anything about kicking anyone out of Russia. Please respond to what I write, not the voices in your head.

I would be very interested in hearing a proposal to change the system of governance of Canada, which remains a colonial nation, and whether or not I would support it would depend on its merits. LIKE ANY SANE FUCKING PERSON.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also. I hate that I have to fucking say this but: IT WASN'T A REAL PROPOSAL. IT WAS FUCKING IRONIC. IT WAS A FUCKING COMMENT ON RUSSIA'S PROPAGANDA. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST DUDE.

I love the lack of confidence in your own trembling soul.
