Russo-Ukrainian War: The Kursk Operation

What he says is that they’re going to retake the Crimea
Against the will of the people living there.
saying that children who have grown up in occupied Crimea have been exposed to Russian propaganda
They are Russian, they have chosen to be Russian. They are only exposed to their culture. They have no interest being part of a Nazi fascist dictatorship and neither do the other breakaway regions.
The International Criminal Court has been issuing arrest warrants for people involved in a Russian program
This is American propaganda. Russia temporarily moved orphans out of a warzone and has since moved them back. The International Colonial Court exists to prosecute the enemies of America and nothing more.
none of this seems like strange thing for a wartime president to say. Overall
If you agree that the Crimean people have a right to self determination then you not only see Zelensky as a wartime president, but an aggressor threatening an invasion too.
For the Azov point, you can just read the Wikipedia article
NATOpedia is not a serious source of information about anything political.
I see, it's upset him.
Because no-one believes that there's anyone still stupid enough to do the meme.

The blatant hypocrisy I've seen from Anarchists between Ukraine and Gaza has been jaw dropping. Flat condemnation for a people resisting their genocide, their resistance wasn't pure enough. Complete uncritical support for a fascist dictatorship with an ultranationalism rooted in Nazism.
Azov were more-or-less wiped out in the opening stages of the invasion at Mariupol.
Got a source on this?
He is very intelligent.
Were all Nazis bad people and to blame for their actions?
Are all oligarchs responsible for their actions?
KKK members?
Sure you can make an argument of some kind of diminished responsibility due to low IQ intelligence, general ignorance etc. But ultimately we're talking about grown adults with the capacity of free will.
Ask yourself what it would take for you to exult in the mass murder of tens of thousands of little girls? What could people tell you to make you behave in this way? I don't think they even think of themselves as blameless because they think of themselves as supreme. They are entitled to cause massive harm due to being better, chosen, Übermensch etc.
It doesn't much matter to the kids who are crying because they've been told that their arms won't grow back, that someone who supports this happening to someone else tomorrow is starting to have doubts and might feel bad in the future.
This trade off of "bad feelings" versus the brutal physical impact of someone's actions is a common feature of settler colonialism in particular. We see it with the "loyalists" in Northern Ireland, with the Americans' about Vietnam (except only in movies), and it pervades Zionist supremacist propaganda today.
To blame, means to be responsible for. Are people responsible for their actions or not?
Pandering to itself?
"I can excuse genocide but I draw the line at being rude to a Nazi collaborating puppet dictator!".
Fuck these people. Too little, too late.
From the people who brought you such hits as The Uighur Genocide, Iraq has WMDs and The Russian Invasion Was Unprovoked!
Might aswell add them and keep them concentrated in one place.
The US is finished in the Ukraine. They lost, they don't need it anymore.
You want some kind of evidence that the USA was never going to permit the Ukraine to join NATO? What would this look like?
They dangled this carrot to start their proxy war and once it got going immediately recanted.
Biden says it 'remains to be seen' whether Ukraine will be admitted to NATO
Biden 'looks forward' to Ukraine NATO membership, just not now
Russia has been consistent that NATO membership would be a declaration of war by the US/NATO, so it would mean the end of civilisation. It's an absurd idea. As much as Russia forming a military alliance with Cuba and Mexico.
“We will look back and say, ‘Why did we not do more earlier?” Amnesty's director tells Zeteo.
You can already do that today dickhead. And what's your answer?
Embarrassing from Amnesty. Were they holding back for over a year on this? Nayirah testimony pushing fuckwits.
On the flipside, some people irrationally like me, and it's really irritating.
Stracciatella.
These days twitter is where it's at for keeping up with everything that's censored everywhere else. There's nowhere better for Palestine updates. I hear tiktok is good too but I'm no longer a teenager.
See also Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Similar to the likes of Owen Jones. They focus on the easy issues which they do a really good job with. But as soon as something comes along that threatens to disrupt the status quo then, by their deeds shall you know them.

Ten years before I saw the light of morning A comradeship of heroes was laid From every corner of the world came sailing The Fifth International Brigade
They came to stand beside the Spanish people To try and stem the rising fascist tide Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy Frank Ryan's men came from the other side
Even the olives were bleeding As the battle for Madrid it thundered on Truth and love against the force of evil Brotherhood against the fascist clan
Viva la Quinta Brigada "No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight "Adelante" is the cry around the hillside Let us all remember them tonight
Bob Hilliard was a Church of Ireland pastor Form Killarney across the Pyrenees he came From Derry came a brave young Christian Brother Side by side they fought and died in Spain

Help remembering a song.
Inspired by this.
I've been trying to remember a song for months now. It had a really well made animated video, probably sort of in the style of Cuphead. I seem to recall a cartoon wolf in it. The theme of the song was about this unspecified thing that was "gonna to make you go boom!" and stuff like that.
The video was the really memorable part, the song itself not so much, which makes it all the harder to google for. I think it was French.
"It's gonna make you... do x y z"... sorry I don't have much more.
Biden administration is considering using the 'most severe trade restrictions available' if Japanese and Dutch companies continue to give China access to 'advanced semiconductor technology'
Does anyone have numbers for Nazis in Ukraine, Azov members or otherwise?
I can't find any reliable source of numbers. From before the invasion I saw Al Jazeera claiming 900 members of Azov, since then they've been wiped out a number of times, like at Mariupol. And then they keep showing up again and again like the Moe/Barney meme.
Good thread on America's Ukraine 2.0 attempt in Georgia. It's now threatening the families of Georgian politicians
U.S. Deploys Large Force - Eyes On Syria
Some speculation on the USA's intentions with its overly large force deployed to the ME.
tl;dr It's too big to be just for Hamas. Lebanon is too difficult, Hezbollah would demolish Israel. Iran too awkward...
But with Israeli bombing attacks on the airports of Aleppo and Damascus and its pre-war like warnings to its settlers, there seems to be good indications that Syria is again the target.
The neo-conservative lunatics in the White House may well think that they now have a chance to eliminate Russia's presence in the Middle East.
They will think of this as a revenge for their loss of the the war in Ukraine. They also believe that it will prevent, or compensate for, their geopolitical defeat in Gaza.
Oh, something I've been running through my mind...

Kasandras Beware - China's Economy Will Not Hit A Wall
Zelensky Threatens To Terrorise Europe
Curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”.
