What rational discussion is to be had when one country is clearly annexing another since 2014 lmao?
@Samueru The history goes back way before 2014 and your summation of the situation is inaccurate.
It goes much further back, and it involves a lot more Ukrainian fascism than people realize. History of Fascism in Ukraine: Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV

Ukraine, and Europe in general, didn’t maintain this post-WWII fascism all on their own, though: The US. bears significant responsibility. The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discretely Internationalized It
Yes it goes back to Holodomor and how russia has always treated ukranians as second class citizens.

Or that’s what this would be on Lemmy.ml. They are all tankies and they get mad when you point out terrible things like facts.
