Christoper Miller: an island of stability in the treacherous waters of information warfare.
Ukraine’s in the news? Threat of war? Pleading for international support?
Let’s find some “Nazis” and say they’re GROWING THEIR VIOLENT MOVEMENT
(Jesus Christ, this is getting old)
It’s funny how “Maus” is getting banned in American schools, and we’ve all seen some actual Nazis in the West, hell, the KKK still exists, but man, twenty people in Azov busy with military training sure are a threat to the democracy!
How are they going to influence anything? With what? Do they have a political rating? How many are there? Couple hundred people? How are they influential? Are they gonna stage a coup? Are they gonna take part in elections? What is this?
> Wind in it’s sails!
> Right-wing parties literally got less than 2% in every election we had so far. What sails???
I am anything, but a Nazi apologist. I don’t support any of their shitty hateful ideas.
But this is just so tired and old, “Nazis in the Ukrainian military”, “far-right movement in the West of Ukraine”, “wind in sails”
Reality: a bunch of marginals nobody cares about.
I am grateful to each and everyone, who was ready to sacrifice their lives to fight for this country. It’s in no way а carte blanche, but hell, never am I going to accept false narratives about my country and my military.

I keep reading about this “need for purely diplomatic solution for Ukraine-Russia crisis, there is no need for indiscriminate sanctions and lethal weapons”
First of all, there’s no “crisis”, there’s an 8 year long war with thousands dead, injured and displaced
Secondly, suggesting finding “purely diplomatic solution” shows lack of any expertise in Ukraine-Russia relationship during the last decade.
Thirdly, what other way is there except imposing sanctions and supplying Ukraine with weapons? Pleading? Begging?
Diplomacy never did and never will work, because Putin is a bad faith actor. He keeps lying about Western intentions, about not sending troops to Ukraine, about everything, really, so what kind of diplomacy are we taking about here?
Answering some of the ridiculous takes about Ukraine made by some poorly educated people: a megathread.
First of all, the phrase “Post-Soviet state”. Please stop using it, it’s been 30 years. Nobody says “post-Third Reich states”, “post-Pangaea states”, “post-Yugoslavia states”, that’s just dumb.
“Supplying Ukraine with weapons will only escalate the situation and threaten Putin”
If weapons are being given to Ukraine, this doesn’t mean Ukraine will use them to attack Russia. That’s not going to happen. That would be the worst thing ever. we need them for defense purposes.
