If Russia is going to experience a lasting process of change that enables peaceful and friendly relations with its neighbours, then societal debate will have to honestly look at why 10s of millions of people willingly, even gladly, followed Putin's orders. Just blaming the Führer won't cut it.

"Putin attacked Ukraine, not Russians" fails to grapple with why millions of ordinary Russians were willing to follow orders in a devastating war against Ukraine. This stuff open up questions over how far Russia as a society will come to terms with the past after Putin is gone.

apropos james watson’s death i had an idle thought today about how stupid race/iq stuff sounds. “buh if your skin is darker you are biologically less smart” is a thing only a dumbass can believe

Leftists recognize Eastern Europeans as humans challenge

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

🔴 Ukraine’s Prosecutor General’s Office presented the UN with evidence of over 190,000 Russian war crimes since the full-scale invasion began.

Like, whether you think CSTO/SCO expansion was good and smart or not, it is surely not up for debate that it was a central part of a policy that has now put Russia on the brink of all-out war with Europe, quite possibly without PRC support, and I see nobody at all asking whether that was clever

From the top rope

I think the trend on OSINT Twitter was instructive; guys who had spent years watching the atrocities in Syria, then the war in Ukraine, turned that same eye to Gaza and were shocked by what the Most Moral Army was doing *on camera*

At this rate the 2026 Dem meta will be running dead-eyed CIA officers whose campaign ads are just them graphically describing what war crimes they will do to Republicans

Anyway there's a real problem with basically any discussion about defence policy and it is that quite frankly we have still not gotten everyone on the same board, which is that Europe's ass is burning and that a fascist regime on our eastern border has territorial designs on its members.

it's not a left, right, centre, conservative, liberal, socialist, left-handed, right-handed thing: far too many people on this continent simply do not recognise that we are at war, and it is time for them to, you know, recognise that

“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

Scary stuff with this Russia backed proxy war in Venezuela. Maduro needs to respect America’s legitimate security concerns in their sphere of influence. Don’t they know the USA has nuclear weapons? Do they want WW3?? I’ll be protesting at the Venezuelan embassy to demand PEACE not WAR 🕊️ #StopTheWar

Evidently there was an Auschwitz-themed float in a Halloween parade in Pennsylvania. The float was for a Catholic school, and to their credit the church immediately disavowed it. Thing is, I don’t think high school kids did this entirely on their own. I’m guessing parents had to be involved.

I genuinely think they’re mostly doing it because shooting missiles at brown people makes them hard, and all other concerns are secondary.

Code Pink voice: Listen the fact is that the Caribbean is part of the U.S. sphere of influence and has been for over a century. Maduro needs to negotiate with Trump to find a solution that respects valid American security concerns .

Hell is empty and all the demons are here

russia is never beating the Disneyland for pedophiles accusations

“Europe just needs to outlast Russia.” My heart sinks every time a thoughtful, well-meaning voice suggests this. Outlasting Russia at the cost of Ukrainian children, when Europe can help Ukraine defeat it, is a cruel, needless, reckless gamble with no good forecast to pay off.

RSF are degenerate monsters and in a just world there would be intervention that wiped them out to the last man 20 years after everyone had thoughts and prayers for Darfur, the world still doesn’t give a shit about the Sudanese

when it comes down to it, Zarah will side with Russia, always, even on straightforward imperialism. it's just how she's wired

U.S Army officer Col. Steve Gabavics has gone public on his participation in the Biden Administration's "investigation" into the Israeli assassination of Shireen Abu Akleh, alleging that the USG softened its conclusions about the murder of the Palestinian American journalist to please Israel.

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left www.instagram.com/reel/DQT62ys...

western europeans have legitimately been living like pampered house cats for 80 years now and are so spoiled and complacent they interpret any sign of history still unfolding as a conspiracy to keep them from indulging in the pleasures they've grown accustomed to

Britain looks at an opportunity to both bring justice against a war criminal and maybe improve relations with Ireland and says "Nah fuck that"

The European Union sides with Israel rather than the World Court. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The way this whole "plan" works is: - Israel and Hamas agree to a ceasefire - Israel makes zero substantive political concessions - ????????????? - Palestinians give up armed struggle - peace in the Middle East!

I'm the only committed third worldist. I believe that both Ukraine and Palestine have been victims of propaganda campaigns that serve—through combinations of fiction and inconvenient truths alike—to justify their annihilation as a people.

Look, these guys are all pedophiles

Americans, after 80 million American fascists voted for American Hitler: "What are we, people from a country where the far right has never once held power?"

Far right parties in Ukraine hold 0 parliamentary seats, while they win landslide in the US because your fucking compatriots, evidently, cannot be trusted with NOT going full hitler once given free will, so pipe down

Maybe we'll finally get to see Meteors turning VKS war criminals into paste

"I abducted a child from Mariupol and brought him into my family." Russia's Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, has admitted guilt in a war crime - the abduction of Ukrainian children - for which the Hague court issued a warrant.

We cannot avoid the reality that the Russia is a small country, caught between rival Eastern interests manipulating its actions. It is time for North Korea to stop fighting Ukraine to the last Russian, and instruct their clients in the Kremlin to immediately surrender.
