If the Ruscist Federation is ready for truce, they can just leave. If there were no invading Ruscists — who rape, kill, and torture — there would’ve been no fire to cease Image
Let’s not forget what pure evil we’re dealing with nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna4…

🧵 a short thread
The only known cure for state-level #fascism is a resounding defeat in war.
The Third Reich was hellbent on holocaust 80 years ago, and today the Ruscist Federation is prosecuting a genocidal war on Ukraine
1/4

the Feb 24 attack by the russian empire is as shocking as it is predictable, because that’s what it has tried with Holodomor when Stalin deliberately starved millions of Ukrainians to death. Same evil empire, albeit under a different banner ☭
2/4

Why is this happening again and again? Because, unlike Germany, which had an opportunity to atone and face the truth of collective responsibility, russia is stuck. The people of russia desperately need to see Ruscist ideas defeated, and rascist war-crimes exposed! 3/4 Image

Russia is a fascist state, it is killing Ukrainians for being Ukrainian. When an occupying power “evacuates” civilians via filtration camps, this is known as genocide.
Do not #standwithputin, use clear language
