"Defense" is when you aid the overthrow of a government to replace it with a fascist one that kills eastern Ukrainians like in Donbass, DPR, LPR, and Crimea
Then they wonder why Crimeans overwhelming support Russia against the post-2014 fascist coup gov in Ukraine
It's defense because the US military industrial complex is "defending" its profit margins by creating instability far enough away that it won't affect them, but that they can profit off of
People in Donbass too as you'd expect. They welcomed the Russian army as liberators in 2022 from the current fascist Ukraine gov
It's a shame that people who say they support "Ukraine" usually mean the 2014 fascist coup gov instead of the Ukrainian breakaway regions resisting it.
The neo-nazi one that attacked the trade union building and Eastern Ukrainians for resisting, yeah
Looking up the 2010 elections should give you an idea of what the division in Ukraine is like
I remember back in 2014 when even Redditors could tell the solution was to have Eastern Ukraine be a separate state so the coup gov wouldn't be killing them for resisting. That's what the people in the DPR and LPR were trying to do and were being bombed by the fascist state for it. At least Crimeans are free from it now ig.
Defence is when you defend your country against an invader.
Correct, and I strongly support our Ukrainian comrades in the DPR and LPR in their resistance against the fascist coup government.
I was more thinking when Russia invaded and tried to encircle Kyiv and whatnot. But yeah, when you fight against an attacker, it's defence. It's a general term rather than a value position.
Yeah, the famous fascists that are actively working hard to join the EU, which we've seen so clearly the past decade just loves having fascist states in its ranks. You know, the fascist government that had an actual election as late as 2019 where southern and eastern regions largely voted for the person that won.
Notice how there was actually a change of power in that election - a known hallmark of fascist states.
Wait are you being sarcastic here? Lmao
They outlawed starting a conversation in Russian. It was criminal for a business not first say something in Ukrainian. Like, imagine if Arizona tried to pass a law that criminalized conducting business in Spanish.
It’s too bad that actor who used to play president on TV and had zero actual political experience got steamrolled by the fascists once he got in office.
When did he get steamrolled? When he ensured that corrupt people were sentenced by a court before being jailed, or when he applied to join the famously pro-fascist EU?
Wow, I Wonder why everyone that's left in the regime that deports and persecutes dissenters says they are in support of that regime?
Ukraine never invaded anybody. Giving them weapons so they can throw out the people invading them, taking their land and molesting their people is a good thing. Russia has clearly shown that the only way to get rid of the plague that is Russian soldiers on foreign soil is to kill them. That's why we have this war that Russia has chosen to engage in, and which Russia can choose to withdraw from at any time. That's why Russians are dying by the hundreds of thousands.
Sopuli.xyz user detected, opinion rejected
Out of honest curiosity: Whats wrong with sopuli.xyz? I literally just picked a random instance when I joined Lemmy, and have never heard anything special about this instance.
Maybe because it's the instance that hosts the largest pro fascist-coup gov community. Everything I've seen from it at least seems to enforce that stereotype
You actually have to elaborate on what you mean by "pro fascist-coup gov", I honestly don't know what fascists your talking about.
