Russia Vs Ukraine (Part 2) - Neocons Strike Back

[glenshane]

They’re basically keeping the Ukrainian economy afloat…teachers salaries, support for businesses, foreign villas…funeral expenses, etc

Is it another of his lies?

It is indeed. Like the rest of them he thinks repeating it enough will make it true.

This time last year you were telling us the spring counter offensive would destroy Russia… When is it taking place?

[carryharry]

Lapsed poster Thomas Brady highlighted this land grab numerous times in various posts almost 2 years ago and was ridiculed by the lads who view this as goodies vs baddies.

@Thomas_Brady

@estebandaface

The day after the IMF gave Ukraine its first installment back in 2014, household gas prices went up 50%
. All the best agri land was sold off to foreign investors. Multiple semi states broken up and sold off cheaply… This is the epoch of western values ad @Tim_Riggins would have us celebrate… Corporatism sold as democracy.

@Thomas_Brady

How people can overlook the privatisation of agri land into the hands of foreign investment is really dumb. We’re talking about one of the world’s largest agri providers with millions of hectares ripe for plundering. The headbangers here like to talk about democracy, yet only something like 10% of Ukrainians were in favour of selling off land and state-owned assets as recent as 2020. Of course, where is most of the agri based? You guessed it, in the east… The world bank had no interest in what the people of Ukraine thought tho (cc @Lazarus ) and had insisted that vol. Zelensky make lands ready for sale again - a sizeable amount has already been flogged since 2014. There’s also natural resources like uranium that Ukraine is rich in…

Ukraine defaulted on the billions owed to Putin and saddled themselves with billions more debt from the IMF instead, but that’s ok, they are the good guys bringing love, peace and harmony to Ukraine

@Tim_Riggins dismisses the neoliberal agenda of the west as apparently it’s the pinnacle of human achievement to date.

East , or Russian speaking, Ukraine is about dollars and rubles only… That’s all either side outside Ukraine itself really gives a fuck about.

And no @carryharry ,none of that excuses the invasion… before you ask for the millionth time…

@Cheasty

This is a conflict of goodies versus baddies.

[glenshane]

@Thomas_Brady was a belter of a poster…but you’re well able to fill his shoes.
You’d wonder how lads like @Tim_Riggins, @Turenne and @tallback reflect on their naive hysteria. Would they double down, do you think?

[Cheasty]

The simple fact is rabbit hole dwellers @glenshane and @Kyle like Russian Nazi genocide of free societies like Ukraine.

These two in particular are genuine dregs of society and extremely dangerous freaks.

Probably pulling the plums off themselves as the Israelis slaughter tens of thousands of children and adults as well.

The Eylon Levys of the forum.

Doesn’t excuse the invasion.

[Cheasty]

They’ve been excusing the invasion since before it even happened, the headbangers.

All this results from fellas simply not being able to handle the INTERNET. They start out thinking “ooohhh, I’m a person that likes to think outside the box, I do my own thing, I like to swim against the tide”, and before long they’re cheerleading Nazis and drinking horse dewormer based on stuff they see on the American dark web.

The Ewan road.

Doesn’t excuse the invasion

Quite the essay

[mikehunt]

Best to keep it simple. Some people just love muddying the waters to trick the gullible.

[glenshane]

Grow up

[Kyle]

I don’t think anyone (here) has ever excused the invasion but just looked to the complexities of the region.

[glasagusban]

We dodged a bullet in Ireland. If Putin had noticed all that foreign direct investment here post recession he’d had have flattened the place. And quite rightly too.

[mikehunt]

Some people are using these ‘complexities’ to justify the invasion.
