  • Frankly, I think you are a liar and don’t care what you have to say. “The Communist Party of China” is the official English-language title, and is in the format of the majority of communist parties worldwide.

    Calling it the CCP is a transparent and pathetic attempt to demonstrate information control, to force your enemy to be referred to by the name you assign them. It is a method of racist dehumanization and a way for liberals to affirm to each other that they are not committing wrongthink by using the name officially sanctioned by their masters.







  • Ah yeah, all this evidence like:

    One of the three or four ships in the world with a moon pool that could supply and enable divers to work at the depth of the pipeline, hanging around the area after a naval maneuver less than five days before the explosion

    A US Navy anti-submarine plane (indeed, one of the only planes in the world with the ability to generate a signal that would reach to the depth of the pipeline) flying the length of the pipeline almost exactly 24 hours before the explosion

    And the Commander in Chief of the most expensive powerful military in the world, explaining that the Nordstream pipelines would be brought offline by any means necessary (not shown in the photo, he is standing literally right next to Olaf Scholz - the Chancellor of Germany - who did not even attempt to contradict his statement).






  • Not to mention the Snake Island debacle.

    If you don’t recall, right at the start of the war, a small Ukrainian National Guard unit was stationed on “Snake Island”, a tiny island in the Black Sea. A Russian warship approached the island and told them by radio to surrender. The commander replied “Russian warship, go fuck yourself!”. The Russian warship opened fire and blew them all away. For their brave sacrifice, Zelensky posthumously awarded the “thirteen brave soldiers of Snake Island” various medals and honors, and "Russian warship, go fuck yourself! became a shining symbol of Ukrainian resistance against Russian aggression, plastered over the west’s print and social media for days, until whatever the next thing was replaced it.

    How it actually went:

    About two weeks later, it turned out they actually had just surrendered and been captured. And there weren’t thirteen, there were EIGHTY ONE of them. One of the soldiers told a reporter their commander was “an idiot trying to get us killed” and that Zelensky “didn’t even care to know our names”.


  • The Russians have also NOT killed POWs.

    This is a war between armies of hundreds of thousands of combatants on each side. It’s statistically impossible that neither side engaged in killing POWs, the question is who did it more? What is the culture of the army? Is it something done occasionally by individual units, hidden from commanders, or is it just accepted by the entire command structure?

    During the battle of Mariupol, after cornering Azov (the hardcore Nazi unit) in the metalworking plant, the Russian forces offered them literally like a dozen chances to surrender.

    To the extent that the Russian public was getting seriously angry about it!

    The Azov commanders wouldn't give in*!

    *They surrendered just days later

    And how did the Ukrainians react to this?

    Having followed this war closely from the start, the “vibe” I get is that Russia is continuously humanitarian, frequently offers Ukrainians the chance to surrender and treats POWs well on the whole as a matter of military policy, and I feel confident saying the majority of mistreatment of POWs by the Russian side would have been done by Wagner, not the RU Army. Conversely, the Ukrainian army, riddled with rabid fascists and roving paramilitaries barely under the control of the political leadership, has constantly tortured and killed POWs and gloated about it on social media. I realise I should have saved the evidence, but that wasn’t exactly the frame of mind I was in while seeing it at the time.

    But when the OFFICIAL Twitter account of the National Guard posts shit like this

    I think it’s safe to say ‘humanization of the enemy’ is not on the agenda.



  • They support Russia because the Kiev regime has been trying to genocide them for the last nine years! After the coup against the president that the Russian speaking areas voted for the new coup government immediately banned Russian as an official language. They made it illegal to teach it in schools! They attacked and persecuted people across the Russian speaking area, especially the Donbass. For instance in Mariupol, Kiev sent the overtly fascist Azov battalion to attack and break up a march in celebration of the 69th anniversary of the Soviet victory in WW2, using APCs and live ammunition. Now why would they attack on Victory Day, the day of symbolic victory over the Nazis? The officers of the Mariupol police station refused to go out and beat up marchers, so they were quietly murdered. Here are the events depicted even by western empire media, back before they’d had the ‘Slava Ukraini’ chip installed.

    As for the early days of the war, here I go posting it again:

    I assume you don’t consider the Marine Corps Gazette to be Russian propaganda.
