    Does that matter to the people the UKR military kills in Iran and helps kill in Palestine?

    But no, the Ukranian people have not had a choice in anything since having their government surgically replaced in 2014, or for that matter since having their government illegally dissolved in 1991.

    My point with this specific post, as an olive branch to people who may not be familiar with the communist position, is not “Ukraine bad” so much as “This is what eventually happens to every American ‘ally’ no matter what promises have been made to the contrary, and other countries had best take notice”.

      Yes American promises are why Russia invaded despite being signatories to a treaty guaranteeing Ukrainian sovereignty.

          Excuses are great, still breaks a treaty.

          That sort of thing has a real cost in geopolitics.

            Condescension aside, saying that in favor of the faction that kicked this off by breaking both Minsk Agreements is some crazy irony

            Anyway why did Russia cross the border, according to you?

              Ukraine didn’t break the Minsk agreements and no reputable source claims they did.

              Russia invaded Ukraine because they fear neighbouring states that aren’t under Russia’s boot.

              If you were a communist you’d recognise that Russia is a totalitarian Oligarchy and a terrible place for the proletariat.

                That’s the best part. They’re communist in name only. Like China!

                They can’t understand anything not told to them by propaganda outlets, don’t expect them to know history or reality.
