You are gonna get sooooo down voted for this. The Ukraine contingent on here cares WAY more about squashing realistic critique than hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians.

You never really know. Who happens to be online, sees a post, and reacts may as well be based on astrology.

I’m always here though, because I’m three paid shills in a trench coat.

It's really shocking to see how callous people are regarding the human suffering caused by the war. It was particularly disgusting to see people defending the AFU grabbing people off the street and gang pressing them into services here a few weeks ago.

"If we must burn Democracy to the ground on a pyre of human flesh to save it, so be it!"

Ukraine was supposed to have democratic elections. The current regime's mandate ended in June. Since then, they are in power illegally and by sheer Presidential decree, for democracy, you see.

That's right, the US will use you as the next proxy.

I try to be open minded and give things a fair shake but when your article opens with "a guy I know compared Ukraine to the Germans in 1945" and follows up with "Russia is undefeatable therefore resistance is futile" I gotta assume I'm not looking at fair, balanced and transparent journalism. Downvoted.

Ever heard about Stepan Bandera? If let's say Norwegians started to venerate Vidkun Quisling or French with Philippe Petain, similar comparisons would be immediate.
