    This is an interesting post because it mixes valid arguments with bogus just well enough to give the tankies (yeah, I’m talking to you) a defensible fall-back position. The Ukrainian military has a Neo-Nazi problem: Undeniable. Is that also a cornerstone of Russian anti-Ukrainian propaganda? Youbetcha. In comes the dog-whistle. Ukraine losing the war right now: Yup, unfortunate reality, though they seem to be fighting with every nail and tooth. “Losing the war”, yes, but not “Lost the war already”. And Russia is paying with heavy losses for that. And let’s not forget that this is only the case because Ukrainian allies (Hey, that meme shows a corner of the EU flag, what a coincidink) don’t get their shit together and put boots on the ground themselves; otherwise the power balance would look quite differently. Everyone, including the Russian military, expected the war to be over in a week (by official statements, anyway). Yet here we are, even though Ukraine is fighting one of the largest conventional armies in the world. Oh, and lastly: Enlighten me, how is Ukraine, not Russia, the Imperialist in this war?!

      down to 46 now.

      it’s fascinating how reliably liberals respond so quickly at the beginning of a post’s existence and then the votes slowly go up to positive territory in the hours to days afterwards.

      it’s also fascinating how the liberals engage so rapidly with these posts when they don’t exhibit the same respond to most everything else. it’s like they go out of their way to down vote and don’t bother engaging w anything else.

    "they will fight to the last person,” said Sen. Lindsay Graham 4 months into the conflict
