Russia and Ukraine
RE: Russia and Ukraine
Is this what Anti-Fascism and Anti-Imperialism look like?



teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

This is what war looks like.    We just chose to not show the receiving end when we have been gleefully and trumphalistically on the giving end.   Now we are shocked, absolutely shocked, that there is an receiving end when we are not even on the giving end.

How dare anyone blow innocent civilians up when it is not us and our cronies doing the blowing up!

Russia has said so...yeah....but they just might be full of shit. IIRC, The Great Miscalculator himself corrected any such misapprehension of the motives behind his invasion. I guess it was too hard to keep saying with a straight face. Wouldn't want to start giggling at a presser.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Promising to give them money. There's multiple reports, as in hundreds if not thousands, that Russia is reneging on all payments to its soldiers.

Yup. They do an outstanding job of tricking the world into believing that Australians are educated. Wink
