I really do find it odd, that American government and the left are so invested into Ukraine. Ukraine isn't leftist, they hate gays there, they are not even on same continent. Yet left goes out of the way in this war.

I think you're confusing "the left" with "the establishment".

Just like our media characterizes "the right" as being fascist, neo-nazi, Putin lovers, they characterize "the left" as agreeing with everything the establishment does. The "left" I think you complain about are actually just NPCs, not the real left.

The true left and right ignore propaganda, but there's a lot less of them than I previously imagined although the numbers are growing. There's a lot of people on "the left" that aren't on board with the LGBTQ crap for example.

I think the penultimate uncontrollable person is somebody that won't label themselves as either left or right - of course, this is a bit of arrogance on my part, because I'm part of that penultimate uncontrollable group, or at least I may delusionally believe I am. We all think we're right otherwise we wouldn't be the way we are. It will be interesting if I find out, once again, I was wrong in time. Gone through that a few dozen times.

At least people are beginning to realize this. This has been going on for at least 30 years. Groups are purposely misrepresented, people are as well.

That depends on what you mean by "our system".

Our system is a good system, but it was overthrown decades ago. This is actually an oligarchical dictatorship, and most people wouldn't call that "our system". They create internal conflict so we don't concentrate on the enemy, which is the oligarchical dictatorship. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty it is said. I don't think there's been much vigilance from 1970 to 2010. People are finding their ballsack again just recently.

All this stupid insipid propaganda, calls for censorship, actual censorship, crackdowns on peaceful protesters, allowing violent thug protesters to run riot - this is just them doubling down because people are finally pulling up the rug again to show the dirt. All these actions are signs of desperation and weakness, not strength.

What's important and different today is we can record it all. We can actually warn the future generations and show them how this shit works. I have great hope for the future. More than I did 20 years ago - I gave up back then.

Confirmed by the official Russian news agency:

MOSCOW, 14 April. /TASS/. The cruiser "Moskva" of the Black Sea Fleet was seriously damaged as a result of the detonation of ammunition that occurred as a result of a fire, the crew was evacuated. This was reported in the Russian Defense Ministry.

"As a result of a fire, ammunition detonated on the Moskva missile cruiser. The ship was seriously damaged. The crew was completely evacuated," the military department said.

The ministry said the cause of the fire is under investigation.

Neptune (Ukrainian: Р-360 «Нептун», romanized: R-360 "Neptun") is a Ukrainian anti-ship cruise missile developed by Luch Design Bureau.

Neptune's design is based on the Soviet Kh-35 anti-ship missile, with substantially improved range and electronics.[1] The system is designed to defeat surface warships and transport vessels with a displacement of up to 5,000 tons, either in convoys or moving individually.

The system entered service with the Ukrainian Navy in March 2021.[2]

This one is special: a guy named Medvedchuk is now enjoying liberation festivities. He was a close ally to Putin, and Putin is a godfather to his daughter, all the while he was also head of administration of the president of Ukraine during Yanukovich and a top-tier Ukrainian politician afterwards. That's right: one of Putin's insiders was also a top tier politician in Ukraine. It just goes to show how deep that octopus grew it's tentacles into Ukraine.

Being the carrier of some juicy info about preparations for the liberation, he was too shy to stick around for the party and apparently escaped into one of the neighboring states.

Not to worry: as a result of operation by Ukrainian intelligence he joined the party in a secret ballroom, presumably in Kyiv. Everyone is wondering how much vodka it'll take to get him loose and talkative.

I'm sure it was disregard for safety. Those damn smokers just can't keep it in the designated areas.

BBC:

More on Russia's Moskva missile cruiser, which Moscow says has been badly damaged by a fire.

Ukraine earlier claimed the warship was hit by Ukraine-made Neptune missiles.

Ukrainian presidential aide Oleksiy Arestovych said Russian rescuers were unable to reach the vessel, which could have had as many as 510 crew members on board.

"It has been confirmed that the missile cruiser Moskva today went exactly where it was sent by our border guards on Snake Island!" Odesa regional governor Maksym Marchenko wrote in his Telegram post.

It's interesting to see the number of NPC droids pop up in the last few months, now that a new distraction has been made available. I'm wondering if you are people or are constructs. I really wonder if there isn't a division in humanity that simply has to parrot and is entirely incapable of thinking.

What I find interesting, is that Ukraine never reports any setbacks at all. Only Russia does.

Western Dissent from US/NATO Policy on Ukraine is Small, Yet the Censorship Campaign is Extreme
Preventing populations from asking who benefits from a protracted proxy war, and who pays the price, is paramount. A closed propaganda system achieves that.

But what was “unprecedented” just six weeks ago has now become commonplace, even normalized. Any platform devoted to offering inconvenient-to-NATO news or alternative perspectives is guaranteed a very short lifespan. Less than two weeks after the EU's decree, Google announced that it was voluntarily banning all Russian-affiliated media worldwide, meaning Americans and all other non-Europeans were now blocked from viewing those channels on YouTube if they wished to. As so often happens with Big Tech censorship, much of the pressure on Google to more aggressively censor content about the war in Ukraine came from its own workforce: “Workers across Google had been urging YouTube to take additional punitive measures against Russian channels.”

From the Greenwald piece above -

And we're not at war with Russia.

Sums it up pretty good:

Illia Ponomarenko, reporter for the Kyiv Independent:

"I keep thinking about this and I find nothing that proves me wrong.

From the Russian side, this is one of the dumbest, most absurd, and idiotic wars in human history.

Literally anything the Kremlin tries to present as a justification sounds like schizophrenic obsessive delusion."

But, but, but....

WEF / EU Security Institute makes claim Russians aren't really Europeans. Then doubles down by claiming this:


By that metric, Denmark is really American, since the vast majority of Danish Landmass is in Greenland.

Russian TV propagandists suddenly changed their tune: don't want "denazification" anymore and don't really want the war to continue.

Great lessons. Putin is sacking people for bad advice and/or execution.

How many Pentagon purges did the Bush Admin carry out because of the Iraq War?

We were sacking or "promoting out of the way" scores of high ranking US Generals within weeks of the North Africa landings.

dude I know. I remember learning about founding fathers.

Last year, our daughter was in online education for a brief period before we got pissed off and sent her to private. Her online classes, since I got to hear and watch all included that retarded gender and race shit. Mostly "women oppressed", "black oppressed", "America is racist". I feel like Americans who create that content, and they are white Americas, are fucking self loathing retards who need to go live in a third world country for a year so they can appreciate America a little more. To this day "Brainpop" videos trigger me, when that fucking robot and beta kid comes out I'm triggered because of all the stupid race baiting shit that was in it.

Moskva is the largest warship to be sunk in action since World War II.The last time a ship of similar size was sunk was the cruiser ARA General Belgrano, which was sunk by the Royal Navy during the Falklands War. Moskva was the largest Russian ship to be sunk by enemy action since German aircraft bombed the Soviet battleship Marat in 1941, and the first loss of a Russian flagship in wartime since the sinking in 1905 of the battleship Knyaz Suvorov by Japan during the Battle of Tsushima in the Russo-Japanese War.

It's 9th, actually, but who's counting...

I don't think they give a fuck about the populations once they are in power. The 2 party system has this major flaw, no accountability after winning election

It's just another dumb fucking senseless war the US instigated by overthrowing Ukraine in 2014. People too fucking stupid to realize this wasn't the precise goal of the Neocons are in lala land and can't be reasoned with.

The puppets that have control in Ukraine to end this war do not give a damned about the lives that are being lost. They want and profit from chaos.

Just makes more money for the MIC, allows more bullshit "aid" which will just be funneled back as bribes, and it damages Russia and with any luck Europe which are competitors to the United States.

The bidness of the US is war. They love it

Victoria Nuland's husband is Robert Kagan, one of the PNAC assholes that came up with the BRILLIANT strategy of putting the US into 100 years of war.

Without dupes like you, they wouldn't be able to do it.

Who am I kidding? You have no idea what PNAC is and it would be a total waste of time to explain it to you. I'm certain you believe to this day that the Iraq war was just an unfortunate intelligence mistake.

Changing your mind or making you think would be like trying to explain to Greta Thunberg the world isn't about to end in a climate catastrophe.
