Just a friendly reminder that in the real world, the country that cancelled its presidential elections this year and is conducting forced mobilization is Ukraine. In Russia, the presidential elections were held six months ago and the forced mobilization ended two years ago.
Are you from Belarus or know anyone in real life that lives there?
I know half dozen and most of them would say that you’re spreading BS propaganda (with fair exception of one my former coleague who have taken all Tikhanovskaya stuff so close to his heart so he is in immigration now).
That is rich since imperialist Russia is the one who is occupying parts of Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine.
Are you from Moldova or know anyone in real life that lives there? Because i know 3 Moldovans in real life and none of them have anything against indepdependence of Transnistria and none of them is somehow excited with Sandu’s warmongering or have any wish to take part in war effort to recapture Transnistria.
Are you from Donbass or know anyone in real life that lives there? Because i know A LOT of people from there and have been there A LOT of times (as Donetsk is my father’s hometown). And all of those people would say that you’re spreading BS propaganda.
Are you from Abkazia or know anyone in real life that lives there? Because i’ve been there once and i can bet that you haven’t. As if you’ll tell Abkhazian that his country is somehow part of Georgia occupied by Russia, you won’t be happy with outcome.
You could easily achive your goal by going back to reddit, there’s nothing wrong with it. Seems like federated international community hosted by enthusiasts is just not your cup of tea. Centralized platform which goes to IPO would be able to provide you with echo chamber that you seek for.
All attempts to whitewash banderite crap always resemble this good old comics.
Belarus: not invading anyone, waging no war, perpetrating no genocide, banned from Olympics
Israel: …
Neither of those countries have constitutionally protected free speech
Article 29 of Russian constitution and Article 35 of Chinese constitution prove you wrong.
I’m at Russia right now, I’ve been to Ukraine more than dozen times including twice to Crimea (Ukrainian at time of visit) and numerous times to Donbass (as Donetsk is literally hometown of my father). What’s next? Have you ever been to one of the listed places yourself or are you just fantasizing from other side of the world?
Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporhizhia, Kherson, Crimea
Only abovementioned 5 regions had referendums and therefore fall into “Russia considers part of Russia” category as they are really treated as Russian regions by Russian law. Any other regions of Ukraine are not, at least currently.
His offer for Ukraine is surrender. Ukraine would need to give up the 4 oblasts that Russia considers part of Russia, including their 2nd and 3rd largest cities.
Both 2nd and 3rd largest cities of Ukraine are outside of borders of 5 contested regions.
The funny thing is that nearly half of transnistrians already have Russian citizenship. Even the funnier thing is that nearly quarter of transnistrians hold Ukrainian passports and have by far higher chances to be drafted during upcoming mobilization. And the funniest thing is that some of them have both citizenships simultaneously effectively meaning that they can choose the side to be drafted for.
U.S. and Ukrainian officials say that the best Ukraine’s military can hope for in the coming year, especially without more American aid, is to defend its current positions. Even so, Biden officials say they are not entertaining the idea of pressing Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, to negotiate with Mr. Putin.
This is the most eloquent. If you can’t fight a war for win, then it’s reasonable to try to gain some better results through negotiations. But the white masters don’t care about the losses of aboriginals.
Oh i thought that according to .world’s lore it’s NK soldiers fighting for the bowl of rice there… I’ll have to educate myself better with your mythology. Anyway, in real world draftees were deployed there exactly because it wasn’t warzone. Could you please provide some links to proof that they are actively used there right now?
Edit: well, i think that some things should be clarified for people who would be reading this in future. Conscription (draft) and mobilization is two different things. The first (conscription) means compulsory military training for young males of specific age which fit for military service. You shouldn’t be used in active military action if you’re conscrpited. Both Russia and Ukraine had draft before the war, with a military age from 18 till 27, inherited from Soviet Union. After the beginning of the war Russia has raised upper limit of its military age to 30 and Ukraine has abandoned draft as such. The second (mobilization) is forced military service with the goal of taking part in war action. Russia had one round of mobilization in the end of 2022. Ukraine has general mobilization non-stop from 2022. Both mobilizations caused crisises, although pretty different ones as Russia has its borders open while Ukraine has its borders closed for military fit males.
