π§΅1230+ hrs since #Ukrainian Patriotic War of Independence was started by #Russia full scale attack & 2977? days since #RussiaInvadedUkraine.
Almost same as last time.. #Russia terrorizes us with more missile strikes but really that will never bring their #Moskva back...
Really, the more I read into topic the more I see that it's not something they'll be able to recover from. #Soviet fleet sucked but #Russians are even dumber than soviets so building a replacement for #Mosvka is out of scope.Not to mention their image is destroyed, now only nukes
But what really important is that stringy viscous depressing feeling awaiting the further bloodshed, senseless, without hope for victory for #putin - just to destroy, destroy, destroy. They're already using strategic bombers against #Mariupol (already besieged by their troops)
Again a sign of frustrating, pouring all the violence they have against #Mariupol and its defenders. The town is already destroyed, thousands of civilians killed, if strategic bombers were the plan they could deploy them on day 1, but they hoped for a victory they can't get.
So now pour everything... Very difficult situation. With equipment probably it's not impossible to make the #Russia group that's besieging #Mariupol encircled itself. But need shitton of good AA, tanks and own aviation :( For now tho: still awaiting #ruscist offensive
And if it's really only #Donbas or not only depends on the amount of forces they can gather - If they could #Russians would zerg rush from everywhere, so new attacks on #Kyiv or west of #Ukraine are possible, only the strength of our army and weakness of theirs prevents that
Even after the offensive, this would probably be a mix of what #Russians did in #Donbas for 8 years and #Syria - only with missile strikes against our cities across entire country now, not just in #Donbas. But an alternative - is genocide like in #Bucha#Mariupol likely #Kherson
π§΅1272+ hrs since #Ukrainian Patriotic War of Independence was started by #Russia full scale attack & 2979? days since #RussiaInvadedUkraine.
Hasπ·πΊlaunched offensive? Maybe already. maybe not yet, They shelled towns, killed civilians in #Kharkiv again, can't write my concerns...
But obviously it hurts to think about #Mariupol. And in #Izium they try to drive locals into joining their forces to fight against own people, basically like soviet penalty battalions I guess, only the penalty's for being #Ukrainian,terror in #Kherson, preps for fake 'referendum'
The insanity is the inevitability of the onslaught coupled with uttter pointlessness of Russian offensives - they only destroy, no point in capturing ruins, but they want it, just to present a "victory" while really putin's simply lost in the first week, his war cannot be won
So basically #Russia fascist and simply buffoon #Medvedev openly threatens #Europe with #Ukrainian refugees - the refugees who flee #Russian-perpetrated genocide of #Ukrainians (yet at the same sentence pretends that Russia is not to blame). Warcrimes, blackmail and threats...
And this is really a part of Russian criminal culture and mentality. I'm writing about it every single day. Russia is fascist MAFIA state. Their psychology is of a Russian gopnik, the only way of communication for them is threats. Cowards themselves they try to be intimidating
Now, if we Ukrainians fell for those threats - we would have Bucha in our every home and the world wouldn't simply know about it (how the reports of horrors in occupied villages around Kyiv were not really paid attention to until Russians were driven away and journalists arrived)
π§΅Interesting, just how much #Russia's imperialism and genocidal policies are enabled in the west by stuff like "Czech Republic? It's kinda Russia or something, right?". Ofc for centuries so called #Russians (marginal, easternmost Slavs) tried to replace "Slavs" with "Russians"
And to the west it was apparently rather convenient with the realities of the #soviet union. Even after it collapsed, there's still to much of this "#Ukraine is part of #Russia that is not Russia now" spirit. And globally, even in memes, they replace "Slav" with "#Russian gopnik"
Among all the Slavic nations, most of the Slavs are integral part of #Europe, most of Slavic nations are either #EU members or strive to be #EU members and rather oppose #Russia. But, in pop culture - they're all basically #Russians. Very convenient.
Aπ§΅thread on #Navalny so that hopefully it is clearer to Westerners why Ukrainians are sceptical of him (and no, Ukrainians aren't fools who need stuff explained to them !NEWSFLASH! our opinion kinda matters). As a teaser: twit by the man himself criticizing arms support for πΊπ¦
Peculiarly, despite criticizing #putin, #Navalny somehow supports #Kremlin's strategies, first, most obvious, his stance on the matter with #Russian annexation of #Crimea (our "#Sudetenland" if you will) is pretty clear - he supports it!
One thing on Crimea annexation he's not happy with - he would like to legalize it internationally (and indeed he'd a handy figure to do so, after toxic #putin is done).
Although, he isn't really as liberal as Russian propaganda paints him (hm.. why would they do it, huh?)
I could write something like "#Russian culture" here, but really it's not it. It's not even that much cult of war these days as more of a cult of crime (although #fascist militaristic frenzy is there, yet, it's criminal "ethics" and culture that penetrates all spheres of π·πΊlife)
π§΅No, #RussianCulture is not "tanks, balalaika, bear, matryoshka" as may be made fun on in the West, neither it's "Tchaikovsky&Tolstoyβ’". It's endless stream of sleazy dumb criminal shows about criminal cops and mobsters, the gopnik "ethics" and culture, the cult of crime.
There is some cult of "Great Patriotic War" in #Russia, for sure - but it's really a couple of cheap, cheesy shows about that war and only for the May holidays, not even mainstream in so called #RussianCulture
Thread of threads on #Russia's #fascism.
PS: No, it's not just #putin
Yes he uses #Russian chauvinism to implement his #facsist mafia state policies
But he didn't invent it, he only enables it. It's not even the first genocide against #Ukrainians in last 100 years.
