  • My bad, I didn’t know it was a nazi symbol. One is enough.

    I think I misunderstood you earlier, because I agree with what you said.

    What percentage extreme-right do you think there are at this moment?

    I have no way of estimating it, but I doubt it will be a low number.

    Can they get rid of their and western influence that prohibits them from reaching peace?

    How can I know? Only time can tell.


  • Well here he is:

    Which of his tattoo are Nazi ones?

    Such an unfortunate coincidence that in nearly every photo or video you see from ukrainian military

    You’ve said many times that your opinion is factual and objective, yet you constantly exaggerate things. Does Ukraine have a Nazi problem? Sure. There are neo-Nazi battalions, and the government plays along with it by proclaiming the UPA as heroes, etc. But most of the soldiers are not Nazis - they’re regular people. Especially now, when they’re being kidnapped from the streets to recruit into army. But if it’s like this in nearly every photo you use, then the media you consume is simply biased. Because for Russia, it’s convenient to portray every Ukrainian as a Nazi - it makes people less upset about the war.

    Russia has Nazi and alt-right people in their army, BTW. Just not on the same scale.

    First of all they are wasting OUR EU money.

    Yeah, I didn’t say Ukrainian money 😅 But it’s not like Russia doesn’t have cheap rockets, right? Now drones are quite popular, too.

    About mines - yes, I remember, it was awful, I agree.



  • A guy with a nazi tattoo is a nazi.

    Sure. But do you have any photo such tattoo on him? Also UN reports that the strike killed 59 civilians and no legitimate military target around.

    They aren’t going to waste a 4$ million Iskander on a few peasants.

    So why would Ukraine waste money on their rockets to kill civilians?..

    Yup, no country besides Russia can blow stuff up from a distance.

    I mean, yeah, you cannot explode things from a distance without something like a rocket or a drone.


  • I mean do you have a proof for that specific guy?

    The mentioned consequences for Russia weren’t significant. No power plant exploded and Crimea had already lived with the canal mostly blocked from 2014 to 2022. There was no rocket, it’s confirmed. No one else could blow it up, that’s the problem.


  • Russia claimed that he was a neo-Nazi, but I don’t see any evidence for that. It’s not like Russian media aren’t biased. That’s how it always works: both sides try to deflect casualties they caused and present casualties caused by the other side as war crimes.

    Armies sometimes take actions that damage their own side if the broader military benefit is worth it. In this case dam’s destruction disrupted Ukrainian plans for a Dnipro crossing operation. It was at the time of Ukranian counter-offense. Since it was an inner explosion, I have a hard time believing that Ukrainian saboteurs came to the dam unnoticed and detonated. This was not like planting a small bomb near a road. Destroying a huge hydroelectric dam is not easy. And Russia didn’t catch anyone or present any evidence of that afterwards.



  • Okay, maybe I rushed with “any source”. 15850 are UN numbers, but 5600 comes from TASS. If look at UN numbers it’s 3404. In the graph you can also see that most casualties happened in first 2 years, after that it was a cold conflict.

    And only 2 deaths?

    Okay, what about the Hroza strike, which killed 52 people? Or the recent attack on Kyiv after the Ukrainian college strike, when a house was struck by a drone twice - doesn’t that sound like an air defense system malfunctioned?

    That hospital could be gone if they wanted it, and the rest of Kiev with it.

    So do Ukraine could kill civilians more actively. Surely not on the same scale as Russia, but still. This doesn’t happen because it isn’t practical, both in terms of media and money.

    It is nothing like the almost daily attacks on markets in Donetsk with countless more civilians killed.

    So do Ukrainian-controlled towns have also been hit by Russian attacks, including markets and shops.

    Like the ridiculous story where they blamed Russians for targeting the nuclear plant in Zaporizia.

    And I agree with you here. I don’t think it was Russia. But it’s not like only Ukraine tells ridiculous stories. For example, the Kakhovka Dam was blown up by an internal explosion while it was under Russian control, which is suspicious, to say the least.

    Even if you combine the casualties from both sides before 2022, they still wouldn’t be even a fraction of what has happened during the full-scale war, no matter which source you choose to use. I’m not even sure why you decided to mention this.

    Yeah, I misspoke about the east. But define “very limited”. For example, last night, Russia hit about 20 houses. I’m not saying it was deliberate, but did you somehow calculated that fraction of casualties/firepower caused by Ukraine is higher than Russia’s? Or do you just think that all casualties caused by Russia, like the attack on Okhmatdyt children’s hospital, were accidental, while all attacks done by Ukraine, like the college one, were intentional?
