Libs will cry “whataboutism” or bring up 10 fallacies they remembered from high school for hours to avoid addressing the substance of a conversation, then come back with shit like “well what if a meteor killed everyone, huh?” and tell themselves they’re the ones operating in good faith
Pick an AES state of your choosing. What is the minimum you think they would have to do to resist U.S./capitalist efforts to destroy it?
It’s not how I’d characterize it personally, but it’s what that other person was referring to.
The European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (ECRML) is a European treaty (CETS 148) adopted in 1992 under the auspices of the Council of Europe
Huh, wonder what the Council of Europe thinks of Ukraine’s language law:
The Venice Commission, the Council of Europe’s top advisory body on constitutional matters, said that several of the law’s articles, including article 25, “failed to strike a fair balance” between promoting the Ukrainian language and safeguarding minorities’ linguistic rights.
You have no clue what you’re talking about. Maybe sit down and listen a little?
I assumed it was reactionary, and boy was I right
Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti
Sigh
redditor!
I also don’t automatically think that it means Zelenski was “forced to not give up”.
Why else would Ukraine have reversed course if not for one of its NATO puppetmasters commanding it to? Either it’s that, or BJ making a really impassioned argument for sending a bunch of Ukranians to an early grave and Zelensky fell for it, or Zelensky just changed his mind all on his own and the timing is a pure coincidence.
Lol exactly, it’s the last place you’d expect to find anything challenging the U.S. narrative.
Johnson’s April visit to Kyiv, during which he reportedly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to break off talks with Russia
Hmm let’s look at the source on that: Ukrainska Pravda, a Ukranian language paper headquartered in Kyiv, owned by a Ukranian investment company also headquartered in Kyiv.
Kremlin propaganda!
Russia and Ukraine may have agreed on a tentative deal to end the war in April, according to a recent piece in Foreign Affairs.
“Russian and Ukrainian negotiators appeared to have tentatively agreed on the outlines of a negotiated interim settlement,” wrote Fiona Hill and Angela Stent. “Russia would withdraw to its position on February 23, when it controlled part of the Donbas region and all of Crimea, and in exchange, Ukraine would promise not to seek NATO membership and instead receive security guarantees from a number of countries.”
The news highlights the impact of former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s efforts to stop negotiations, as journalist Branko Marcetic noted on Twitter. The decision to scuttle the deal coincided with Johnson’s April visit to Kyiv, during which he reportedly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to break off talks with Russia for two key reasons: Putin cannot be negotiated with, and the West isn’t ready for the war to end.
Foreign Affairs is a Kremlin propaganda outlet now?
from the moment they realized Kyiv wouldn’t be lost in a week
Goes back way longer than that, at least to 2014.
Belgorod, where is that?
I don’t trust Russia, but Pringles was not exactly an uninpeachable source of truth himself
I find it very hard to have firm opinions about the modern DPRK’s internal politics because virtually all English language media on the subject is shot through with decades of the most virulent propaganda. There’s a high chance that any of the key U.S. narratives on the subject – such as the Kims being essentially an absolute monarchy – are more bullshit than reality.
Some folks on here are more knowledgeable, though, and describe the Kims (certainly in the modern DPRK) as having a kind of Queen of England (rest in piss) role: most of the real governing is done in other bodies, but they have some influence/authority and aren’t pure figureheads.
If that was easy it would have been done 40 years ago.
The first F-16 flew in 1974, half a century ago. Considering how widely they’ve been used, no one is going to learn anything significant if a few more are shot down or captured.
Lmao literally the State Department line now:

Reading through the comments is a trip 
You didn’t ask a question besides “can you stay on topic,” which was already bullshit because @Redderthanmisty@lemmygrad.ml was responding to your “we need more authoritarianism, in order to stop people fucking around” comment.
Civility is when I get to deride anyone who disagrees with me as a child and they are forbidden from saying anything mean in return
