Russia has been bombarded in the biggest Ukrainian drone attack of the war, Moscow officials have said, on the same day as crunch talks are set to be held between Kyiv and the United States.

The Russian Defence Ministry said air defences shot down 337 Ukrainian drones over 10 Russian regions overnight, a record high, as Ukraine hit back at a series of brutal recent attacks launched by Moscow.

At least one Russian civilian has been killed and several injured, with dramatic footage showing fires raging from the exploding drones including in high rise residential buildings near Moscow.

    their proxy war

    Meanwhile Russia did the war-war. I think you should do two posts about war-war accountability for every one post about proxy-war accountability.

      Meanwhile, you should spend a bit of time to understand the subject you’re attempting to opine on so as not to publicly embarrass yourself.

      This is that “whataboutism” that liberals are always crying about.

        Oh god, not the liberals.

        Tankies and their new word for the boogeyman are something else.

          “liberals aren’t real, they’re just a boogyman” is certainly a take.

            Literally every other comment on ml and lemmygrad is some bs about liberals. You guys throw it around more than the redneck trump voters.

            Edit: sick misread of my comment, btw. Idk how you came up with that interpretation of what I said, but it certainly fits your false narrative lol

          “Liberal” has a clearly-defined meaning, and 95+% of people of the imperial core are liberals, because it is the hegemonic ideology of the imperial core.

          The first sentence from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism:

          Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, the right to private property and equality before the law.

          From the first paragraph of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_property[1]:

          Private property is foundational to capitalism, an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.

          That’s what liberals believe. Liberals are those who support capitalism.

          Meanwhile, “tankie” is just a floating signifier. It’s just a pejorative and a thought-terminating cliché to dismiss people to the left of liberalism.
