I cannot decide what's worse: being an anti Nato fascist living comfortably in a Nato country, being a member of not one but two Nissan X-Trail forums, or that horrendous spoiler.
You know... you replace "Russians" with "GOP" and your statement still rings kinda true...
Yeah, the russians are just like republicans 
Raping sounds like an act of kindness compared to this:

I guess sandro alluded to it in his post...
If you mean my remark about the west being equally adept at accepting fake realities and just going along with it, I meant that even more broadly and irrespective of political affiliations. For instance, most of us know that the stock market is rigged and is no accurate represantation of fundamental value, but we still stuff our retirement money into it as the inert system is set up that way, seems to work for us and we don't really know what else to do.
"You were so much a part of the system, that it became impossible to see beyond it". I'd say that our system is far more malleable than the Soviet one in question, but I'm also convinced that the same principle applies to pretty much all organized societies.
Yep the Orwellian "Group think"

Footage emerged of a large fire in the Dzerzhinsky industrial zone in the Nizhny Novgorod region, deep within the country, one of a series of suspected incidents of sabotage.

Hillary Clinton’s Support for the Iraq War Was No Fluke - FPIF
Hillary Clinton has run to the right of the Obama administration on every major foreign policy issue — and she’s left a trail of devastation in her wake.

Didn't really need to light the last 5. Efficiency of time is important in those situations, just sayin'.
Someone made a website counting down to when the Crimean bridge will be taken down. Probably just an epic troll, but a good one at that. Coincidentally Ukraine just received weapons with enough range to accomplish this.

It also states that the Russians who arrived on the occupied peninsula still have time to leave the territory of the sovereign state of Ukraine. Against the backdrop of rumors that Ukraine could hit the Crimean bridge , there are many versions and guesses on the network about the possible date...

For more than two months now, many Russians have openly supported the Kremlin’s “special military operation” in Ukraine — choosing to close their eyes to executions and rapes, the shelling of peaceful cities, unthinkable destruction, and millions of people losing their homes. Journalist Shura...

criminalize/marginalize homosexuality ✓
support of overt authoritarianism ✓
unwavering support of an iconic plutocrat ✓
zero real policy other than state power, manifest via military strength ✓
heavily rely on propaganda ✓
Seems pretty straightforward to me

Apart from the first item on the list, you've just described an average tankie. Many of my friends, especially from-behind the iron curtain, are right leaning, and not a single item in your list applies to any of them. If you said extreme right wing idiots, then yes. Same applies for extreme left wing idiots as well.
tankies don't run the gov't
putin and republicans (at times) do. I'm talking about the politcal and gov't institutions, not brian.
The propaganda used by both really are pretty similar. All the russian media links you and others have posted look exactly like fox news/newsmax/oann etc and are using the same tactics to justify hatred and violence.
One of trump's best golf buddies during his presidency was sean hannity. The party works hand in hand with the propaganda news outlets which is what the folks in this thread were referencing primarily.

I don't think Ukraine had anything with the required range until recently.

“No. I mean yes, but we didn’t do it first.”
that piece is somethin eh?
also:
After that guy left, my friend said she knew him. He’s a big wholesale drug dealer who runs his business far away from Moscow so he can lay low. A guy who “Uncle Vova” would only be too happy to put behind bars for 15 years still supported him.
“It’s just because he’s doing so well, he likes things the way they are,” my friend explained.
^^That is quintessential american political logic right there^^
you know me so well

vietnam & korea were each one them fancy proxy wars to fight teh communisms. So was there ever a USSR presence there?
I know they were suppliers of our made up enemies but mebbe a few showed up? I'm just trying the help the fascists out here and really consider both sides.

There were Soviet advisors on the ground, Soviet operated anti aircraft missiles and a lot of evidence of Soviet pilots flying in Vietnamese uniforms.
See. Perfectly fine. Maybe the murkans took that photo of a russian and used it eh?

Thank you for posting this. Insecurity, refusal to accept responsibility, insanity and glorification of violence are a lethal cocktail. Sucks to be a russian neighbor or in their cross sights.read this

between work and essentials (changing a dirt bike tire) I read it in three sittings today. I'm glad I did because it took some digestion of what I'd just read and there's quite a bit there.
What do you do with a nation of that? I think the answer will apply here soon so it seems important to know. That's the first piece I've seen that really portrays a population that at least in part knows exactly what's going on, but chooses escapism through propaganda, mixed stances etc to just plain not think about it, even if they do have a grasp on reality n the background somewhere. It's seems an only slightly more acute version of the wars the US has engaged in since the 60s and the population that ignored it.
"Escapism through propaganda " drives much of the world today, and probably has since about forever.
Is it really different than US war propaganda from the 50s until the 2010s?
Vietnam, Afghanistan, Irak... they were all wars for which support was manufactured by propaganda. Very few outside the US saw those wars as "necesary" or defensive.
I did say the answer is relevant to us for a reason
I'd argue that even the afghanistan and iraq invasions couldn't happen to today like they did a few years ago. Lots of cell phones and cameras in the world that weren't there in 2005, much less the 1960s
Personally I think it's pretty disgusting that world tolerates us just because we make kardashians. And we even import those.
Grade A trolling by Ukraine today, first by Zelenskyy who invited Scholz and Steinmeier to visit Kyiv on May 9th and now this: https://twitter.com/Ukraine/status/1522625050607767558
Also, probably another major Russian warship damaged, but there is no credible confirmation yet.

Looks like another Russian ship caught a case of rapid oxidation that has been going around.
Or lose a chunk of your fleet to a country without a recognized navy.
Still no confirmation of the ship getting hit. Probably fake, or perhaps the Russian Navy is just trying their hand at old fashioned whaling.
