I thought maybe it was just me, but I woke up to at least two other people posting about interactions with Indians, I guess Russia has mobilized its Indian trolls to help in the info battle over Ukraine. I freely admit that #NAFO has not really engaged there, after all its in our
name NORTH ATLANTIC FELLAS ORGANIZATION so the focus has not really been in the INDIAN OCEAN but since expansion is non-negotiable.... Indian support for Russia is non-sensical from an anti-imperialism perspective. Now if they want to support Russia because they too believe in
religious tinged nationalism, mass poverty outside of the elite core of a couple of urban areas, ultra rich oligarchs, corruption and eventual vassaldom to China that is an honest stance and I can respect that. But Russia is an imperial state so ergo support for Russia is support
for imperialism. Russia did not go to war because Ukraine wanted to join NATO. Russia had borders with 8 members before the war (defacto 9) and no war broke out. Russia did not go to war because Ukraine was full of nazis, the far right in Ukraine failed to win a single seat in
Raga but they do hold seats in the Duma. Russia did not invade Ukraine because Ukraine was turning to the West and democracy. Russia borders many western democracies. Russia did not invade Ukraine because there was a genocide in the Donbass, the OSCE (Russia was a member) and
UN numbers are clear very few people had died since 2018 and most of those due to land lines. Mumbai had more people run over by cars than the Donbass had people killed by explosives. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/pe…
about 2/3rds or so of the estimated 14,000 deaths since 2014 were soldiers on either side and recent years has seen civilian deaths dip to the single digits. So why did Russia invade. can we ask Putin, yo dude why did you invade? Actually, he already answered that question.
Here is a quote, "You might think he (Peter The Great) was fighting with Sweden, seizing their lands. But he seized nothing; he reclaimed it! It seems it has fallen to us, too, to reclaim and strengthen," he sees himself as a czar and has made statements like above many times
over the course of decades and not just against Ukraine but also against Poland, the Baltics and others as well as fostering separatist movements into even more countries like Moldova and Georgia. He has an interesting view on language. His self-stated criteria is if you speak
Russian, were once part of the Russian Empire and/or have significant Russian speaking minorities than he is your rightful ruler and if you don't submit to him you are rebels to be put to the sword. Russia is the worlds oldest extant colonial empire. Others have made maps such as
this one here... Russia marched East and West starting a couple of decades before Western Europe managed to sail the 7 seas. and has subjugated more tribes and cultures than the US who made

similar if much later journey across its much less peopled and smaller continent. The US is also actively trying to become the mixing pot, is Russia? Look at Russian media darlings, Putin's cabinet, the make of the oligarchs, Duma, general officers of the military, popular
heroes, membership in far-right organizations and immigration policies. Russia keeps everyone who does not meet their criteria to be a great white Russian firmly in their place. Russia will never have a BLM (Buryat Lives Matter) movement.... Its virtual serfdom and purely
exploitive. He did not invade for any noble reason, he did it to "reclaim" what had once been a Russian colony. The Ukrainians are fighting as hard against Russians as Indians would if suddenly King Charles III decided that since English is an official language of India and
since India used to be an imperial possession is must be again and so he sent in the British Army to re-establish his version of historical truth. Woe to the Ukrainians who fall under his control. What he is doing in occupied areas rivals the atrocities India was subjected to
after her first war of independence in 1857. I have stated previously that genocide is a feature not a bug of empire. They all do it. Russian attacks on shopping malls, mass rapes, murder, torture, the recent attempts to de-energize and destroy district heating Thermal Power
Plants (TPP) in Ukraine just before winter arrives are not accidents. The Russian's see Ukrainians are subhuman and fit only for serfdom. They always have its why they suppressed Ukrainian culture every time and place they have control. BTW this includes other ethnic groups like
the Donbas Germans, the Crimean Tartars, Lithuanians, Poles, Latvians etc. it does not matter who east or west they get suppressed. Non-Russian culture, ethnic identity, religion and language can only exist in a subservient state to Russian norms. So too Indians or any
non-western reader (feel free to translate into native tongues and distribute) the best way to describe Ukraine's struggles is the world's last and most violent war against colonial aggression. Ukraine deserves your support. If you want to know more, listen in on the @MriyaReport
a space dedicated to all things Ukraine and to supporting a charity called @MriyaAid where people like myself donate to help Ukraine fight off Russian imperialists. Maybe consider becoming a #FELLA and supporting the @georgian_legion as they wage a high intensity effort to turn
would be colonizers into fertilizers. Don't fall for the Russian propaganda, ask your own relatives about life in the West. Western support for Ukraine is anti-imperialist and as an American I am proud or my states senators @JohnBoozman and @SenTomCotton along with my house rep
@RepFrenchHill voting to arm Ukraine. What is your government doing to fend off a new wave of colonial wars and empires? Until Ukraine wins on Ukraine's terms: Slava Ukraini! #GenocideOfUkrainians #russiaisaterrorisstate #India #Hindus #Ukrainewillwin #Colonialism #freedom
@mfa_russia <--- still losing and eventually you will lose all your slave races.
@threadreaderapp unroll please
I am so sorry for the horrible number of typos this morning. My brain was writing faster than my fingers could keep up.
