In reply to the discussion: Nemtsov report claims hundreds of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine [View all]BainsBane
(56,570 posts)Russia is engaged in military operations to destabilize and annex the Ukraine. Their own public records show they have spent $1 Billion on military operations, training and arming of Russian militias sent into the Ukraine, and arming of pro-Russian Ukranians. It is an invasion and effort to reconquer the Ukraine and all the shit the anti-Ukrainian folks on DU have been spewing is nothing more than Russian propaganda designed to legitimate war. People have been actively warmongering for Russia, and it is reprehensible.
Now, for people who agree with Putin that Ukranians are ethnically inferior and unfit to rule themselves, because they don't like the people or the government they chose, they will justify any among of bloodshed. That racist propaganda put out by Russia is accompanied by a homophobic and misogynistic propaganda that justifies depriving Ukrainians of self rule because they are essentially gay and like women, not real men like the great Russia people, led by a "real man" like Putin.
So we have here people who align themselves with an eplicity racist, misogynistic, and homophobic campaign in order to justify the reconstitution of the Russia empire No amount of evidence matters. I think it's clear they know what is up. One actually came out and admitted it, after many months of smokescreen. They don't care because they simply want to see Russia takeover Eastern Europe, and will justify any amount of bloodshed to pursue that goal. The irony is they then cynically accuse people who oppose that military intervention of being pro-war. For them, pro-war is the absence of dead bodies and peace is defined by Russian military conqeust. Anyone who dares to suggest that imperial military takeover is wrong, or even annoyingly points to evidence, is accused of being pro-war. It is that kind of blatant dishonesty that is particularly reprehensible.
The fact is, regardless of what the West knows, Russia will continue to carry out war on the Ukraine, dead bodies will continue to pile up, and Russia will eventually gain direct control of the Eastern Ukraine, if not all of it. No need to fret. There is no danger that this report will actually lead to an end to Russian imperial incursion or the sparing of the lives of the inferior Ukrainian people. They will still die. Russia will continue to reconstitute it's empire, and there is absolutely no danger of peace breaking out, or the cease fire holding because Putin has a clear plan that he will not see thwarted. The war you have worked so hard to promote and justify will happen anyway. Despite opposition from the Russian left, war will continue because knowledge and truth cannot begin to eclipse Putin's brute force and violent and lethal suppression of dissent.
