Government of Ukraine approved dismissal of heads of regional administration of Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Kherson and Sumy regions.
- Probably the most corrupt government that has ever existed on the European continent; and the Biden's are dick deep in this shit.Khurram
- For the love of God, it's time to freeze the battle lines and sue for peace.Khurram
- lol Green Shirt Guy goes on the scrounge for cash and it magically appears in his pal's pockets! The Russians did it!face_melter
- Watch as the Banderites hoover up the cash and have themselves a little nazi coup in a few years with all that hardware knocking about.face_melter
- @Khurram aye the Rassan gov, these gigantic revenues from oil and gas would have been spent on the development of the military it would be a different war.sted
- Bidenbot can't do anything else, you are overthinking this a bit...everyone takes part in this, from Poland to the French to the Portuguesested
- "Most corrupt government"
https://www.transpar…yuekit - you only focus on the US. meantime, the French are protesting again because of the pension reforms. oddly, always just when the war is getting loudersted
- Russia is more corrupt than Ukraine according to this so clearly if you care about corruption you should start rooting for Ukraine.yuekit
- Also it's a great thing they kicked out Yanukovych
https://transparency…yuekit - I was talking about Europe. Russia is a Eurasian power dimwit. I don't care about corruption. Couldn't give 2 fucks about Ukraine.Khurram
- Or the word order you're desperately trying to preserve.jai_p
- Meanwhile, 600,000 dead in 2 years of fighting in Tigray.. But these slavs and their dubiously drawn up borders are more important.Khurram
- It's not about borders or people's lives. It's about the American dominated world order and it's attempts to check any regional power that might emerge toKhurram
- challenge that supremacy.Khurram
- One set of corrupt oligarchs replaced by another. Big fucking deal.Khurram
- We knew what this NATO led conflict was about from day 1 lol https://twitter.com/…Khurram
- Like I give a fuck about your corrupt governments or your internecine slavic conflictsKhurram
- "We knew what this NATO led conflict was about from day 1" Did you really? I seem to recall that just like every other person reading pro-Russia media,yuekit
- you were convinced Russia would never invade Ukraine and even called people idiots for correctly predicting what would happen. The question you're leftyuekit
- wondering is why Russian media has any credibility after that. They lied to all their supporters about the most fundamental question of whether there would be ayuekit
- war at all, how are you so sure they're not lying to you now?yuekit
- This blog you cited as a good source is a great example of this.
https://www.nakedcap…yuekit - "Could the U.S. defend Ukraine militarily? What could do in the face of a Russian invasion? The answer is, almost nothing."yuekit
- https://www.nakedcap…yuekit
- "Unprovoked Russian invasion... this seems to be the least likely outcome" lolyuekit
- Where's the faith in pro Russia media coming from? For that matter, why do people think Putin knows what he's doing in the first place?yuekit
- What pro Russian media?Khurram
- Oh wait, if you don't slavshly follow the State Department line your automatically pro-Russian. Sound logic there little banana boy bitchKhurram
- Back to what I said earlier. 600,000 dead in Tigray, and I'm meant to give a fuck about this internecine slavic conflict as presaging the end of history.Khurram
- Yeah right, Get fucked.Khurram
- One set of corrupt oligarchs replaced by another. Big fucking deal. Where's your balance?Khurram
- But you're doing a stand up job selling us the Euro-American line, busy little banana.Khurram
- Where do my opinions come from? My visceral hatred of the American led liberal world order. Whose collapse I'm watching with great fucking glee.Khurram
- Haha yeah I understand that...I think you'll be disappointed. I don't think the liberal world order is actually collapsing at this point.yuekit
- Mmmmhmmm. The arc of history is long my friend...Khurram
- USA got beaten pretty badly in Vietnam half a century ago and that just led to an era of American dominance. Things don't always follow some prefab narrativeyuekit
- So why should I care more about the borders of Ukraine over and above all other global conflicts currently ablaze on this planet that have killed multipleKhurram
- magnitudes of more people?Khurram
- One that is currently being fought by one of the most corrupt and authoritarian governments in Europe?Khurram
- And why do you?Khurram
- And what Russian media? Name ONE Russian source I have ever quoted.Khurram
- ... take your time, I can wait, i know i have a bit of posting history to go through lolKhurram
- Meantime, who gives a FUCK about these Africans

- what about what about don't what about it me how dare you you recontextualise things only we get to frame the narrative how we choose.Khurram
- Civilisation begins and ends with Europe dammit! The great shining beacon of light for all humanity that has ever existed the absolute pinnacle of human societyKhurram
- if Europe is lost then all of the world is doomed to nihilistic despair, oh the horror! :O!Khurram
- Timothy Snyder said so... he's an expert on Nazis lolKhurram
- I would consider someone like Aaron Mate to be part of the pro Russian media. There's a whole network of people, some are directly connected, others are justyuekit
- being fed talking points but you can definitely see that they push the same narrative as the Russian government.yuekit
- And my narrative: these are the violent convulsions of an emergent multi-polar world order and the desperate attempts of the US hegemon to arrest its declineKhurram
- And your just feeding us the talking points of the neo-progressive centrist hawks desperate to avert said inveitable decline of American hegemony.Khurram
- But if you buy the idea there was an American or Western coup in Ukraine and it's a proxy war against Russia, that would mean America now controls part of theyuekit
- former USSR. That seems like the opposite of declining American hegemony doesn't it?yuekit
- I think that's an overly simplistic explanation of what's happening but some people believe that. Either way you're seeing tens of millions of people in formeryuekit
- Soviet states turning decisively against Russia. I don't see what reason there is to support Putin vs younger generation of people in this part of the world.yuekit
- Do you have a paywall bypasser to read this?Khurram

- American economic warfare against the likes of Russia/Iran etc., has spectacularly backfiredKhurram
- A wave from anti-Gringo governments now in power in Latin America... potentiating the reemergence if the BRICS++Khurram
- I'm sorry, i tire, *out*Khurram
- one last bit of reading i started yesterday: https://academic.oup…Khurram
- From that notorious pro-Putin insitution, Oxford University, hehKhurram
- I think what influenced my views on this was witnessing the protests in Hong Kong, then also pro-democracy protests in Thailand over the past few years.yuekit
- There was also a coup in Myanmar, this is now the second worst conflict after Ukraine in terms of casualties. The common thread is authoritarian rulers grabbingyuekit
- power for themselves and wiping out democratic institutions. Putin is the funder and backer of shitty authoritarian leaders around the world, he also directlyyuekit
- supports the Myanmar military. I think Russia losing in Ukraine will also discourage China from trying to invade Taiwan.yuekit
