  • On Monday morning, officials reported that "the national flag is once again waving" over Storozhove, in the Donetsk region
  • A day earlier, footage showed Ukrainian troops celebrating in Blahodatne and Neskuchne - and a minister said nearby Makarivka was also taken
  • The settlements are relatively small - and Moscow is yet to confirm any retreat
  • The Institute for the Study of War backs up Kyiv's claims, saying Ukraine captured "multiple settlements" along the frontline over the weekend

Lmfao the projection is insane. Where did I ever imply I support America? Fuck America. Fuck the prison industrial complex. But fuck you for playing apologetics for an obvious war of aggression, filled with war crimes, started at the behest of an authoritarian anti-lgbt dictator that happily kills his own people to maintain his tenuous grasp on power. This isn’t hard.

Where did I ever imply I support America?

You're repeating transparently false American propaganda. It's America's proxy war, they've openly admitted this on countless occasions. Do you honestly contend that the US is pouring billions into this because they're humanitarians? Is it? Answer this.

Russia tried for almost a decade to pursue peace in the face of US/NATO aggression. We later learned from Hollande and Merkel that the US had no intention of allowing for peace. This is recorded historical fact.

What’s historical fact is Putin openly talking about wanting to annex Ukraine since before he came to power, and the documented war crimes and atrocities he’s committed in power before, up to and during this war of aggression that - for SoMe ReAsON - you orcs support. Get. Fucked. Tankie. Fuck. 🤡😂

Wall of irrelevant gibberish.

Do you deny the historical fact that I was talking about?

Why can't you answer simple questions?

Why are you so angry?

This isn’t a debate, I don’t need to “answer” anything. I’m here to laugh at you losers tripping over yourselves to deny what is obvious to anyone with eyes: that you’re backing an authoritarian dictator invading a European country in an obvious war of aggression. And you’re losing, tankie fuck 😂😂😂

[–] Blursty@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Sorry but this is a debate. If you want to conceded just don't answer and we can all take it that you've conceded.

I’m here to laugh at you

Yet all you're managing to do is rage and cry and hurl homophobic abuse.

We'll see if you can answer your questions or if you've lost.
