Ukraine has discriminatory attitude against minorities. This is one of the reasons Russian speaking territories in the east seceded. Ukraine claims this is because of Russian interference, and yes it partially is but if it wasn’t for Ukraine abolishing the language law, the Russians wouldn’t find a fertile ground for separatism, and Ukraine would not have lost control over Donetsk and Lugansk.
I am not sure why they are still dangling the EU membership in front of Ukraine, knowing full well that Ukraine is nowhere ready to join the EU. And telling nationalist Ukraine to give up territory is like red rag for a bull. I am no longer on Twitter but I can imagine the indignation in Tweets from Ukrainian nationalists. Their ideology is all or nothing and war with the Moskali.
Even though, Russia’s demands are totally acceptable from liberal human rights positions. Rights for Russian speakers, stop the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, denazification, that is do away with radical nationalism, and keep the military on the low. The loss of territories will deprive Ukraine from the most economically productive lands but also the most Russified. And adopting liberal values of tolerance and ditching nationalism will calm things down for many decades to come. Small army will mean Ukraine could dedicate funds to better the lives of people instead.
But I am a dreamer and my visions might sound like an utopia.
Boomer in the Grauniad blames Trump for betraying Ukraine.
Viewed from Europe, the US’s failure to defend the people of Ukraine against Russian aggression is the greatest and most consequential of a host of recent American betrayals. It’s not just the sickening subservience shown to Vladimir Putin, an indicted war criminal and mass killer. It’s not only the victim-blaming and bullying of Kyiv into making concessions. It’s not even Donald Trump’s crass attempts to monetise the war and milk the misery of millions for Nobel glory, while undercutting Nato allies and trampling sovereign rights.
I don’t know if Trump wanted a Nobel peace prize but he represents the part of America that thinks Europe are freeloaders. And I am sorry, this whole pile of sour grapes proves how much the Eurocucks are dependent on Murica. And I must add that without Murican financial and military help, Russia would probably be done with Ukraine by now.
“The question of how this war is going to end is actually an existential question for Europe,” said Wolfgang Ischinger, chair of this month’s Munich Security Conference. “It will determine – in more ways than one – the future of this continent.” But the war is proving definitive, too, for Trump and his blinkered, bigoted Maga ideologues. Glossing over Russian depredations (and the illegal Venezuela coup), Rubio chose in Munich to target globalisation, “climate cults” and multiculturalism.
I thought the war is existential for Putin, now it looks like he isn’t the only one. And clearly, Trump represents the part of Murican establishment that does not see Ukraine as essential. I am not sure Murica ever had a government that saw Ukraine as essential. Now, if Europe thinks this is essential, they should put their money and gear where their mouth it.
The US betrayal of Ukraine, foreshadowing its broader treachery, did not start with Trump. Bill Clinton’s post-independence 1994 security assurances for Kyiv proved meaningless. Barack Obama blinked when Putin seized Crimea in 2014. Joe Biden, haunted by cold war ghosts, reacted with fatal overcaution to the 2022 invasion.
What should have Obama done about Crimea? Murica enacted sanctions on Russia over Crimea before Europe did. Europe need the strange events of MH17 flight to enact anti-Russia sanctions. Obama’s administration was responsible for supporting the Maidan demonstrations, which were the catalyst to the current war. Had Murica not meddled in Ukrainian internal politics with money and cookies, there would have never be this stand off. Biden provided money, modern weapons like Patriot batteries and HIMARS rocker artillery, intelligence data to navigate Ukrainian missiles and drones, and lots of money to help the Kiev regime survive. Yet according to boomers and bugmen, he should have done more.
Siversk fell, Myrnohrad is besieged and being leveled but Ukraine is winning. And it would be a zrada to sign peace when peremoha is this near. Where does this creature write this shit? In Kiev? Or is it writing it away somewhere far from the fighting? I am not on X so I cannot verify it.
Did you hear? Ukraine can still win? Ukraine will send more drones at Russian refineries and Putin’s regime will be toppled. Or Ukraine can still stop Russian advance in Donbas. If only we sent some Wunderwaffe, superior Wunderwaffe.
Rajchl behaves like a child. We need to fight Russian collaborators.
The OP is a particularly disgusting character and I hope he ends up in prison eventually…
Turek and Rajchl are likely to be in the foreign committee. The committee works with classified information from Ministry of Foreign Affairs, BIS (the secret service), and defense. When people with pro-Russian views get to this information, it is not just a question of plurality of opinions but a security threat. It is a hazard that the Kremlin can profit from.
I don’t know whether Rajchl is pro-Russian. All supporters of Globohomo accuse their critics of being pro-Kremlin but Turek is pro-Ukrainian and I did not vote for him for this very reason.
Ukrainian flag hung on the parliament as a symbol of our support for a country that was attacked, which is every day showered by Russian rockets. The rockets are aiming mainly at residential homes, hospitals and schools. We believe that this is the opinion of any person that has at least a bit of humanity left in him.
The merchant of fear and hate, Tomio Okamura was not slacking even a day and removed the Ukrainian flag from the parliament. The MPs still had the chance yesterday to save face, today they can’t escape the responsibility. Everyone who truly values the pro-Western anchoring of our country and can differentiate, who is an aggressor and who is a victim, can only feel shame.
I just love it how these politicians constantly repeat how Czechia belongs to the West. 😆👌I wonder, do the Austrian politicians have the same need to repeat to their boomer voters that they belong to the West? If you belong to the West, then you belong to the West. Who gives a fuck?
Ukraine is by far not a victim. After the Maidan, the Ukrs started a massive repression of anyone pro-Russian. So Russian intervention is fully justified because Ukraine was becoming a security threat. People that say Russia is an aggressor and Ukraine is a victim are Russophobes and nothing else.
Markéta says Russia’s fifth column is forming a government. 😆👌
The president, Petr Pavel says Babiš should include in the government program an attitude towards Russian invasion of Ukraine and stance on our obligations towards NATO.
There isn’t any mention about the international security situation in the World that effects us. There isn’t even a mention about allied obligations and solidarity.
Here Jan Jakob, a parliamentarian that looks like a missing link between ape and man, is lamenting the fact that the government program does not mention Ukraine isn’t mentioned in it.
I am really enjoying this timeline…
So, once again there is this Tomahawk drama…
Czech media report that the Pentagon approved delivery of Tomahawks to Ukraine but Trump said he will not sign it.
Few comments calling Trump Russian bootlicker, Russian agent, and some obscenities. But iDnes for some reason doesn’t attract these kinds of people. On other media pages the whole thread will be full of such comments…
Modern society and economy is hopelessly dependent on energy. Energy is economy and economy means jobs and money. Low energy cucks will not make it, I am sorry. So please, is supporting Khokhlostan by depriving ourselves of energy self sabotage? Only a Russophobe believes that.
I hear that the US has a shortage of Patriot missiles and needs missiles for itself and Israel. So sorry Ukraine.
One of the main critique people have against Russia is that their special military operation takes too long. But why would Russia speed up things seeing what is happening now? 😆👌 I am not sure how good the Russian intelligence is but they could have been aware that the Western stockpiles are not elastic and at one point there will be a serious issue with supplies. 😆👌 It was always a game of attrition and a game of chicken. Murica is simply unable to supply all of its proxies at the same time.
Ukrs are complaining that this will embolden Russia. Russia is going for the kill. Ukraine is cooked.
😆👌
Motherfucking vybukhy (explosions) 💥happen every night. Russia doesn’t stop. Propagandists have been trying to say that Russia is begging Iran and North Korea for supplies. Somehow this is all turning out to be untrue.
No closed skies, no Taurus, just zrada.
