      Lots of ppl…

      It’s two people, and they share something in common. Only a specific type of person would randomly bring that up to torpedo support for this.

      Canada and EU aren’t mass murdering Palestinians, so I don’t imagine Israel falling under the umbrella of ‘like-minded countries’.

          Yes. Their government is pretty timid when it comes to being critical of Israel’s human rights abuses and war crimes. I understand Germany’s past, but the government can choose to do the right thing now and condemn Israel for the Palestinian genocide. Nobody will call them Nazis for it!

    In a world with so much division, it’s great to see cooperation.

          So the guy who’s lent his satellite network to Ukraine for years is somehow pro Russia because he pulled the plug for a week?

          Much of Putin’s family was murdered in the Holocaust or died defeating the Nazis, including his own brother.

          This isn’t ancient history to many people, including myself whose uncle was murdered by Nazis.

          I don’t use the word lightly.

            He is charging for it, you know war profiteering! Lent is disingenuous and I can no longer take anything else you say in good faith.

            That said, there are currently two militaries in Ukraine, one is not Ukraine. The war ends when they leave, they are the aggressor.

            Russia is an aggressor state. It is committing war crimes. Lots of them actually, double tapping paramedics, hitting listed sites, torturing pows and civilians, kidnapping children…

            Imagine how your uncle would look at you, if he ever existed.

              Large areas of Ukraine democratically seceded after the 2014 coup. Since Russia reconsolidated their lines along the Dnieper there have been no Russian soldiers in Ukraine at all. Kiev is the occupying force.

              The accusations you’re making are fictional, but “kidnapping children” is especially ridiculous given the context. Russia has taken great effort to reunite orphans with their closest family, whether it be in Russia or Ukraine. To say they are “kidnapping children” implies the government owns the child, not their family. And that tracks. Ukrainians are now serfs under their neofeudal corporate Blackrock lords, tied to the land like deer of the forest. Men are drowning in rivers trying to escape.

              You’re denying them the democratic human right of self determination. Let them vote. They’ll tell you if they want to continue the war. They’ll tell you if they’re Ukrainian or not. That’s how democracy works.

                I wont take democratic tips from a supporter of Russian aggression thanks.

                You are outright lying about the state sponsored kidnapping of Ukrainian children by the Russian state. I note you skipped over the other war crimes.

                If you move the borders of any country you can claim to not be invading.

                  The people who actually live there changed that fact. It was the Luhansk and Donetsk Peoples Republics before it was Russia.

                  I don’t know why it’s so surprising about the children. Former Eastern Ukraine was mostly ethnic Russian. Russia has accepted more war refugees than any other nation. Orphans have a very good chance that’s where their closest family lives.

                  Russia has returned many children West. This is all well known, if under-reported.

                  The rest is fanciful imagination and misplaced atrocities of Banderites themselves. You’ll believe anything because you want to believe anything.

    Canada and Israel performing in Eurovision singing contests tracks with this.

    It’s like the epic handshake meme, but both arms are white.
