Yesterday, a Declaration of the trafficking of enslaved Africans and Racialized Chattel Enslavement of Africans as the Gravest Crime against Humanity was voted at UNO. As usual, Israel and the USA voted against. How did your country vote? Any thoughts about it?

Yeah, thats not a great look, but I also understand that since 2014 Ukraine has been in a war for its very existence with Russia, and that some neo nazi groups have done a lot of the fighting and dying for them.

I do not condone neo nazis, but I also understand Ukraine's position not to shit on some of their best war fighters during a war for existence.

Its a complicated issue, and I think I would feel a stark difference had Ukraine been the aggressor, or had a repressive government (both things Russia is).

I believe that Ukraine will have to reckon with this if they survive the war, just like all countries will have to reckon with the far-right groups gaining traction and power in their countries.

ok bud, enjoy the echo chamber you live in. One day I hope you can look back at your crazy posts and laugh about it.

as always the gringos existence is based on projection, that's what keeps your mental sanity and enables the fascist logic to permeate and rot your brain

It's more that those in the Donbass region have been fighting a war for their own existence against Kiev since 2014. Kiev has far more Nazis than a few small bands.
