Never thought Id upvote a KDE post…

Until you work with anything that might be of interest to Russian services (Ukrainian refugees in EU in my case).

A Ukrainian operative based in Poland suspected of the attack disappeared just before Polish services got to visit his place. Wouldent be surprised if they waited for him to pack; Poland was doing everything it could from Nordstreams being built.

to deepen their dependency

Temp situation, and would be short sighted as a strategy. UE has big gas resources of it’s own (Norway, Ireland, “neighboring UK”). A few countries like Karat or Armenia (if I recall correctly) are looking to export gas to EU as well. Which was, according to a Russian general, the reason for their involvement in Syria. And still - EU is very actively working on shifting out all fossil fuels. Diplomatic risks for US outwaight possible benefits.

severely damaged German industry

Russia cut deliveries before the pipeline were blown up. Also the EU did not stop buying Russian gas, it capped the price. The thoughput of the currently operational pipes is enought as well, but doesent allow to blackmail Ukraine or Poland. And finally Ukraine is shutting down them, to further demolish Russian profits.

US naval vessels were operating in the immediate area of the bombing, and were conducting underwater “training” exercises in the week leading up to the bombing.

You don’t care about people if they speak Russian you think they deserve to die of be driven from their homes

Ive literally spent years living with russian speakers driven from their homes by the regime you simp, idiot.

Every generation a new batch of swastika wearing fascist westerners invade Russia, you don’t think they are ready for your shit?

When was that area Russia?

Well if so - as opossed to you I hate both Americans and Russians, and that is a problem because not only Americans?

How does that explain your lack of visual evidence?

Yeah I do, so what about it?

You do know Poland was invaded by nazis and soviets simultaneously based on their pact of cooperation? And that nazi Germany stood mostly on Soviet resources as it built up for the war?

Oh yeah, if workers didnt strike that they need to be able to eat, and a “communist” government wouldn’t be sending tanks on them the Soviets would still be strong. I admire that logic. Just remind me please, who were the soviets meant to be representing?

It’s clear you have reactionaries and befuddled idiots running the show and the dominant ideology is the ideology of the ruling class.

Usually is. But then on the Ukrainian front lines you have everyone from normies to literal banderites, to anarchists.

And in every surrounding Slavic country, apart for one controlled by a pro-russian govt, there is massive support for the Ukrainian war effort over any political divisions. With the exception of tankie sects witch are microscopic around here, because people actually remember the regimes and what they did, and the far-right which is simply sponsored by Kremlin, or just at this level of being bootlickers cheering for any strongman.

You have not decolonized your mind.

Again you know and understand shit about the history and the region. Poland used to be a imperialist state at some point (actually took Moscow btw - just a fun fact regarding your attempt at fearmongering). But majority of Polish population were slaves to the gentry. Then as a “nation” we progressed to being occupied for 150 years (Russia, Prusia, Austro-Hun’s), went thought two world wars, winning a war against CCCP in between, got occupied by nazis and soviets in the beginning of WW2 and ended up de-facto occupied by CCCP after WW2. So the colonialism that’s in the culture is not a western one - that we have since say 35 years at best. This generation has little to say in Polish politics as of yet. But the colonialism we’re de-colonizing as a society is the old Polish and the Russian one, my dear friend. And we’re going strong at it, which seems to be your problem exactly.

Or maybe it’s not say 60 million Slavs who are wrong, and you might be? Just a thought experiment -would we consider we might, you know - living here, better understand our self-interest than you do? Ever crossed your mind?

All I’m saying is if they were bombed, they could easily escape it, or Russia could easily destroy to guns used, since Ukr didn’t have any serious long range artillery until recently. So either Russia was unwilling, or the people did not feel threatened or something is off here.

And where did I state that? Or going deeper into your delusions; if I’m a Polish nationalist, why would I want to arm banderites, of all people? They brutally butchered 50-120k Polish people; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacres_of_Poles_in_Volhynia_and_Eastern_Galicia And how would one go ethnically cleansing 140 million Russians, especially using a comparably tiny, half-failed state of Ukraine, which for the most part is only operating inside of it’s own borders? Do you really make any sens to yourself?

You did notice it is a critique of it at the same time? Simply trying to explain that it’s hard to scare with war citizens of a country which public education teaches it’s kids songs glorifying child soldiers. We even got some monuments if that was not clear enough for the youngsters…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Insurrectionist

BTW Russia does the same, and at least we don’t have to play assembling AK’s in primary school. That’s for high-school as it should be.

So… no evidence still? You know you should try to actually prove a point not only demand someone to accept it so such an accusation will work?

war is not the same as genocide, Russia has deliberately avoided hitting civilian targets and allowed evacuations.

According to whom, Russia Today?

More civilians killed by Israel in a month than by Russia in a much broader war over 3 years

Source for this stat please, cuz just from what I’m seeing that’s such an absurd lie I’m amazed you actually try to push it.

Israel are purposeful genocidal child killers

True.

Russians are professionally prosecuting a conventional war.

https://t.me/NeoficialniyBeZsonoV/42094 - using open channel cheap radios and getting slaughtered or https://t.me/NeoficialniyBeZsonoV/42053 using taxis to evacuate the wounded? That’s a Russian mil blogger in a span of few days. There’s thousands of examples like that if you just pull your head out of your ass and actually read anything else than propaganda. Seriously, even just read the Russian millblogers directly. Russian soldiers are mistreated to such a degree that it is genuinely sad to hear it. They are as much hated for their crimes as they are despised for their competency with their utterly criminal leadership.
Browse though some of this; https://mastodon.social/@ChrisO_wiki - some sources I can easily accept as likely western propaganda, but most is sourced from Russian channels directly. Have fun reading about the professionalism of Russian army.

Oh, you’ve seen a Russian generals take on the whole Syrian affair? https://video.echelon.pl/w/mmbpbaAADwnu7K1tA7iGnv

Trade unionists who support Nationalism and Imperialism are class traitors

Yeah, I’d agree with that, absolutely. See, that’s the fun part here; you’re mostly arguing with a straw-man in your head, and not with someone who committed his life to class struggle but holds slightly different beliefs/optics than you do.

But also - so yeah, you’re not even in a union, miserable keyboard warrior :D

It’s cold and dark outside, it’s not like I would spend the rest of the night out mate… Was going to stop, but you’r sect keeps on coming and it’s funny in a way - see you people deeply unable to prove any of your beliefs and hitting with the most tried and miss-target arguments you can pull.

But also, pleas do provide your definition of imperialism!

What are you referring to, exactly?
