From our friends on the other website. I can’t pick my favorite part of this image: Is it the belief that Russia is both not a superpower but also has complete control over Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, North Korea, and half of America? Or is it this person’s honest belief that the Palestine-Israel conflict began last year and shit was peaches and cream up until then?

    The last sentence putd this over the top into peak lib delusion. The war in Ukraine, genocide in Palestine, Isreali terrorism and warmongering toward Iran and Lebanon, and the DPRK doing anything are in this libs mind avout only one thing - the US 2024 election.

    Perfect liberalism chefs-kiss zizek-joy

      It doesn’t even make sense if it was to get Trump elected. I’m assuming they think Putin is trying to destroy America via Trump. And Putin does it by…destroying America to get Trump elected? I could understand their copium if it was solely to destabilize the US. But it seems like they’re implying Putin’s plan is to create an ouroboros.

      There are easier ways to get Trump elected that don’t involve starting multiple wars lol

    I don’t think Russian leadership ever claimed that they would take Kiev in a week’s time, where does this claim come from?

      Western press. Russia made no claims whatsoever regarding Kiev.

          You losers couldn’t take a staw man down to save your lives.

    • That was the narrative when, in the first week there was an attack from Belarus directly south that stopped in the outskirts of Kyiv suburbs. The troops were pulled back after a few days and redeployed to the Donbass front line. Russia claimed that it was a feint, while the West claimed that Russia were so inept and overconfident that they thought they could take Kyiv in a day.

      Lukashenko said it, it could have been bluster, it could have been serious, the initial Russian push suggested it was serious but they pretty quickly abandoned it in favor of the attritional fight we have.

    Calling Russia and its allies part of the “Axis Powers” is incredibly fucked up. I don’t know why that particular part bothers me so much but it does. They also think Russia cares about who is chosen as president but it seems like Putin himself could care less, the result will be the same either way.

      Probably because the implication is that not only are they as bad as the Nazis but also that we have a “responsibility” to fight them.

    So Russia is buying aid from the DPRK by offering them technology they already have?
