1. Wasn't Putin ranting about the nazification of Ukraine just last week?

How strange that his troops would blow up a memorial to Nazi depravity.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Only two leaders have killed people at Babanyar: Hitler and Putin. . . . nt

[calimary]

6. Yes. That's one of his main "rationales" for what he's done (and still doing).

Putin’s pushing that same bullshit talking point strategy as many in the GOP embrace: accuse your opponent of doing the exact same things YOU YOURSELF are currently doing at this very moment, or that YOU ARE planning to do or that YOU have already done.

10. !!!

[Biophilic]

[Biophilic]

7. All too familiar. Sigh Sometimes I feel like we really do live in a dystopian world.

[monkeyman1]

8. no ! just a few wack job people with power !

[Biophilic]

9. Yes, but it's been very frustrating. I just posted on another line that

Zelensky and the Ukrainians are showing us how it's done.

12. ya think !! republican taliban shouldn't be be trusted guarding a dumpster !

[tclambert]

11. "Nad Babim Yarom, pamyatnikov nyet." Above Babi Yar, there are no monuments.

Frist line of Yevgeny Yevtushenko's 1961 poem. His poem criticized Soviet historical revisionism and anti-semitism in refusing to recognize the atrocity committed against Jews by the Nazis.

13. This attack was to cut morale. EDITED

That being said, it won't work, as it'll be more likely to piss people off.

[Biophilic]

14. How silly. Even I, who am not very knowledgeable about waging war, know better. nt

[applegrove]

15. Why do you think that? Marauders always go for totems. Look at how

QAnons have latched onto JFK Jr.

[Biophilic]

16. Yes, but the majority of people are just going to be pissed by this destruction.

It is destroying their culture, their ' Being'. It will simply stiffen many, many people's resolve. You don't destroy people's resolve by destroying their culture. It's like telling people to give up who they believe they are.
