What makes a country "real"? Apparently it's not global international recognition and UN membership for decades, and extremely fucking hardcore nationalistic (which is not new at all, and taken to a literally religious degree as with The Catechism of the Ukrainian Nationalist) people willing to die for it, so what is it?
By Arabia I mean all the Arab lands. I don't really care where are you from other than being a selfhating sand...POC. I don't even know what you mean by "Covid aid relief", it's very cryptic.
And if you're such an imperialist (you sure should note this more often whenever you cry about "empire" and "imperialism", as to avoid a confusion like this mine where I've taken you seriously, my bad), but only hate the West, and nationalism, why won't you go for a long vacation to Russia, that has so much soul, where people dress in green? Or go back to Arabia? What holds you back? See ya. Bye. Godspeed.
The Confederates were "rebels and traitors" it didn't matter. They were treated as soldiers, and let go upon ceasation of hostilities.
Chechens held Russians in POW camps. Actually these were sometimes even run more like refugee camps (because a plenty of these Russians were in fact deserters, who were being even adopted by families into private houses, not unlike the villagers were doing during the Caucasian War).
Belarus has a Potemkin village army, but they really have internal security forces. Who in a war would fare as well as these OMON columns burned near Kharkiv.
So empire good now? Ha. Hilarious.
What do you mean by "Ukrainian armed forces terrorizing the Donbas"? Sniping vacationing Russian soldiers in their trenches and dropping mortars on their supply trucks and FOBs?
Also someone's been downvoting us both, that's hilarious.
It's been instantly withdrawn by her own party.
Yeah, only sometimes.
Why don't you listen to Russians? About the naked imperialism (the "Peter the Great" again, "Third Rome", all that), about crushing the evil of "nationalism", all what they tell you and you close your eyes and ears and go LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU COMRADES WEST BAD DOWN TO IMPERIALISM.
I don't know whatever you mean by "2017", they year when nothing happened even more than in 2016.
I told you - they declared independence form the Soviet Union (when the Soviet Union still existed), and they declared independence from Russia before the Russian Federation wa created.
In fact they first declared sovereignty form Russia already in 1990.
Yes, actually America already had POW camps during the civil war. Captive Confederates and Unionists werent treated as common criminals and held in civilian prisons, but in military stockades and recognised as soldiers and honored as officers.
Belarus has no army.
Chechnya had delcrared independence from the Soviet Union before Russia did, and declared independence from Russia before Russia signed its federation treaty (they never officially joined the federation at all, the last to join was Tatarstan in 1993 after long negotiations).
In fact Russia to this very day recognises Chechnya'a split from Checheno-Ingushetia, taht the "insurrectionists" and the pro-Russians in Ingushetia agreed on absolutely peacefully (General Aushev was friend of General Dudayev from Afghanistan, and they remained friends until Dudayev was killed). And in 1991-1992 Moscow withdrew all the Russian troops, except only the paramilitary railway police (which was allowed to remain and operate by Grozny, staffed by locals but answering to Ryazan HQ), and all administration.
But anyway, internal conflicts POWs have the very same status and rights as in international conflicts.
Yes, they do this EXTREMELY seriously. This is how they can't send conscripts (without contracts) or declare a general mobilization - because there's "no war".
They bombed (and shelled, and burned down) Ukrainian government buildings aplenty.
Man, you're so retarded sometimes.
Why can't you just listen to the Russians, so openly telling you they're fighting against "nationalists" (their term) to restore an empire?
Why can't you believe them?
He's never changed, only saying what he's told. He has no personality, no character, no autonomy.
Okay, so I really need to handle this like talking to a retard.
I'll remember it for our future conversations.
And as for the Katyń, the Soviets wanted Germans to be prosecuted for it at Nuremberg.
The Allies told them to fuck off, but the Soviets hanged over 20 German officers for it anyway.
Btw the guards at Nuremberg were Baltic ex-SS who have defected to the Allies. They served in the American MP.
The Soviets also did it with the occupied Japanese isles too (100% ethnically cleansed and colonized, to this day, and btw WWII officially never ended between Japan and Moscow).
My bad, it was Paul Urey before they even sentenced him.
Maybe you should see how they look like when they publicly parade them around.
There was never a conflict when the Russians or Soviets didn't routinely starve and torture (and mass murder) POWs. Just never. And for the longest time the Soviets didn't even recognise the very concept of a POW, refusing to sign any international convention, and in Chechnya they gave it to 0 prisoners, and right now it's "not a war" too. It's just a "special military operation", and the enemies are only boyeviki just like in Chechnya (besides "nationalists"), they're not soldaty (or police officers of whatever).
The moratorium does not mean "abolished", and I very clearly wrote how they're lifting it now.
Or at least so says Medvedev, whom this forum for some reason called a "Russian moderate" once (https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/15IEXz4p5Z/even-the-russian-moderates-hate-/c/).
2 of these 3 guys are already dead.
They starve and torture the prisoners to death in their camps.
They were. The same people ethnically, in the same location, speaking roughly same languagele, and the today's state claims this legacy (and even a plenty of troops get their Viking tattoos and worship Odin).
Which is unlike Königsberg, where the Prussian Germanized population entirely replaced by the Russians (Soviets) who have never been there before 1945.
Do you really need me to explain like to a retard how " a deputy proposed" does not mean "passed a law"?
It's just a lie. They don't even have capital punishment at all, only the enemy have it.
Anyone can easily check this out, so I don't know why Imp insists on lying really stupidly even after I told him it's not true. He could easily check it too, but no. Unless he did, and now is just being weird, I don't know.
It's a lie.
Ukraine has no death penalty for absolutely anything, in peacetime and in wartime. It's been abolished in 2000-2001, after the last execution in 1997.
Only the People's Republics have it, and do condemn and execute people. Including their own fighters: https://lenta.ru/news/2018/07/19/dnr/
And they do it as war crimes: https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/06/1120102
Russia has death penalty, but has a moratorium (or had because just after the invasion began Medvedev announced they're going to end the moratorium: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/03/10/russia-quits-europes-rule-of-law-body-sparking-questions-over-death-penalty-a76854).
Belarus has death penalty too (active).
The Rus before the Mongols and the Lithuanian domination, really? Whose?
If they wouldn't get conscripted for "people's militias" (including the elderly) and sent to fight their friends and families, after going through the filtration camps.
Anyway, the stupid story is not true.
Pixiv has hilarious (popular) tags like "strike on woman's vital spots" (you'll need to login for NSFW content to see the unseen Japan) where it's vengeful otakucels drawing women being hit, kicked, stabbed or shot in their bobs and vegana. I guess it won't last.
Awesome, ours "global international" power was the first to recognise Ukraine literally instantly after they declared their independence from the Soviet Union. Thank you.
Biden's taking territory from Mexico or Canada now?
Ukraine has historically existed, also under the name Ukraine. Which fought against Poland, and together with Poland.
Which doesn't matter, because no country in the world has has ever existed before it came to existence.
With or without a war of independence. Which Ukraine has now. Not for their first time.
You love your fellow brown folx? I don't hear it from you often, unlike your simping for the modern worshippers of Lenin and Stalin.
We've just asked Germany for like 1 gazillion Euro in reparations for WWII (on the anniversary of the war on September 1).
