    Oh no! Sure, it’s been going on for almost two years, but now they “suddenly” started talking about le people snatchers!

    Anyway, here’s a brochure for UK citizens who are currently residing in Ukraine. (screenshot edited, post translated to English)

      I think if they’re trying to take you away you should absolutely make a scene and resist. I’ve seen the videos, the people that get out throw punches.

        This is not the first time they shed a bit of light on this… My take on it is that certain tendencies within the US capitalist class and their political lackeys may want to put an end to this conflict. The factors at play here imho are, in no particular order: 1) internal economic contradictions 2) a possible conflict with Iran right around the corner (hence - their Zionazi outpost would demand more weapons if not direct US involvement); 3) a need to have some weapons stockpiled for aggression toward China and 4) (plausibly) political - presidential elections
