    You use the word “dictator” like a subjective pejorative instead of a definition. Just say you don’t like him. You don’t have to like him to acknowledge he is the duly elected leader of a sovereign nation. Again, democracy to people like you is just selective privilege enjoyed on the backs of the oppressed. America directly arms over 80% of dictatorship globally, but we reserve the word only for those with natural resources we wish to covet. It’s not your fossil fuels. It’s not your rare earth minerals. They’re not your slaves for your T-shirt factories.

    The American Empire is at its end and you need to come to terms with that, as well as with the delusional propaganda you regurgitate.

    It’s over. Go home.

    Uhhh… Okay, bud. Exactly what part?

    With the unfortunate Arctic thaw this will only increase access to to this vast untouched trove of resources.

    Russia is fighting an existential threat. The idea that they’re the aggressor or a threat to Europe is ridiculous propaganda. For centuries, every war ought between them and Europe has always come from Europe. Every single one.

    “Real life Ukraine” has no more Nazis than any other given nation. The problem is that this small minority has had a stranglehold on the government since the U.S. bankrolled coup in 2014 that put them in power. When Ukrainians finally had a chance to vote in a real election they rejected Poroshenko and the Svoboda coup leaders. They won every Oblast except Lviv, the ultra nationalist stronghold for actual ethnic Ukrainians. Zelensky promised peace under the Minsk Agreement, all while the Azov Brigade continued to shell civilians in the Donetsk City center. He even brought a camera crew to the front lines in an attempt to shame them into stopping. They laughed in his face and punked him in front of the cameras for all to see. Now he’s just a kapo flunky for the men who actually control Ukraine.

    John Mccain, Lindsey Graham, Victoria Nuland, they invaded Ukraine.

    Calling Putin a dictator, someone with overwhelmingly popular support, is a meaningless pejorative alongside their enemy that we foster. Ukrainians can’t vote. Men can’t even leave to escape this Nazi death cult. There wasn’t anything democratic about Svoboda’s coup, and there’s nothing democratic about Ukraine now.

    Russia has more natural resources than any other nation in the world, and even more so per capita. That’s all you need to know about the West’s adversarial nature with Russia, why the RAND Corporation literally wrote a white paper that outlines how to destroy Russia and take all their shit.

    The Donbass rejected the coup and the overthrow of their duly elected government. They had their own elections and expressed the democratic human right of self determination. They neither participated in any subsequent elections, legit or not, nor are they subject to the outcome decided in absentia.

    Ukraine is now just another fascist ethnostate proxy for Western imperialism, same as Israel. Neither have a right to exist.

    And besides, I’m older than “Ukraine”.

    Chew on that.

    Go crawl in a trench along the Dneiper if you feel strongly about aiding a Nazi regime to steal natural resources on behalf of Western billionaires and corporations.

    Take the place of a Ukrainian man who can’t vote, can’t leave, can’t end this pointless war we started.

    Do it.
