    …the Russians didn’t start the war, they end it.

    Russia had a choice. It chose to encourage separatists inside Ukraine. When those separatists got in a war with the government, Russia chose to launch a full fledged invasion of Ukraine. A full quarter of Ukraine’s population has fled or is internally displaced. Civilians are being attacked regularly, indiscriminately or even on purpose. Entire cities are being reduced to rubble, just like Russia previously did to Aleppo. Ukraine is defending itself, and Russia continues to be the imperialist aggressor bully next door. Russia should pack up and go home. Ukraine has made it clear they are not wanted.

      Fascism will be destroyed. This is a solvable issue. Next to me is a man whose toes were crushed by soldiers of the Aldar nationalist battalion with pliers and a hammer. I don’t think he will like any mention of a country where a fascist junta came to power as a result of a coup d’état. 8 years of death and destruction of civilians. 8 years of mockery of the Russian-speaking population. 8 years of harassment. Fascist torchlight processions in the center of Kyiv, calls to kill Russian children. Know. Decision is made. The time for talking has passed. Fascists with bio-labs, with an attempt to get a nuclear weapon, with the loss of everything human, must be destroyed. So it was and so it will be. The truth will win. And yes, I will not write about politics here anymore. It doesn’t make any sense. Словоблудия и демагогия.

      I liked what Kedmi said, Yakov - from 1992 to 1999 - director of the Nativ special service.

      For all this time, Western intelligence agencies have not taken the time to find out the nature of the Russian people. They are stupid. It doesn’t matter what they do. They only make things worse for themselves. All the decisions they make on the sanctions, I generally get the impression that congressmen in the United States all work for Putin. All their decisions are aimed at strengthening the Russians. To unite them with China and India. To destroy yourself.

        I certainly hope fascism will be destroyed, but invading sovereign territories with a brutal military organization is certainly not how fascism is fought. If anything, it strongly resembles fascism itself. I also hope if fascism in Ukraine goes down (where it’s a minority movement), it will take down fascism in France/Russia/USA/China (where it’s a lot stronger).

        I know people who were tortured by russian services: chopped fingers, electricity… I mean it’s nothing new and it’s not just happening in Russia, but you should certainly be aware that the Russian government is doing that to its own people and that the most determined antifascist militants have all been jailed or tortured, and many had to flee Russia fearing for their lives.

        Putin is a fascist: he was previously in KGB (not exactly a socialist organization) and has been key to merging State and Corporate power after the USSR collapse and USA-pushed privatization of all resources. I’m not asking you to like/accept western empires (burn them down, too!) but why the hell would you present Putin as a figure of antifascism?!
