This is clearly untrue and invalidates all of your other statements. Even the establishment / partisan New York Times is now admitting this. Russia has invaded another country without provocation. It is clearly untrue, that it is clearly untrue, and invalidates every post you have ever made on any subject, ever! Edited by georgenorman (02 Jun 2022 8.16am)

And here comes the company man talking his usual ex marketing manager lies. Ad hominems which totally fail to address the points raised indicate that you have no answers. Which is no surprise at all because far from being "lies" those points are simple, obvious truths whilst yours are, as usual, recycled conspiracy theory.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

You seriously want me to address the individual points? Your contentions are nearly always pure opinion or what I regard as deliberate distortions or lies. But in your world you think I'm avoiding answering them because they are truths I can't answer. You actually made me laugh with that one.

You, either intentionally or otherwise, conflate the view that nazis (I don’t think there is much “neo” about them) are in control of the Ukraine and are a major problem in the military (before the war this was well known and undisputed) and the view that all Ukrainians are nazis which is ridiculous especially as many Ukranians see themselves as Russian. At the same time you ignore my main problem with all this is that arming these people is just extending a war Ukraine simply cannot win and thereby getting many said Ukranians killed for no good reason and that’s leaving aside the potential for expanding this conflict into other countries to a potential WW3. This war has turned into a massive slaughter mainly of forcibly conscripted Ukranians as the regime refuses to negotiate with Russia. The Russian military dwarves Ukrains and is grinding out an inexorable victory in Donbas. This is now obvious. You also ignore any historical context. At the same time you are somehow trying to insinuate I have nazi sympathy’s and am a coward for holding views that do not follow the corporate media narrative. Edited by W12 (02 Jun 2022 5.20am)
The whole Nazi angle (and your claim that 'Nazis control Ukraine') is clearly a Russian propoganda angle primarily for a home audience to go for a massive landgrab that has not been as much of a breeze as intended. I've not said you have 'nazi sympathys' in the slightest, just that you are very eager to buy into it now that it allows you to demonise and leave an entire country to their fate, and to justify why that's fine. Where are you commenting on our very own now proscribed National Action (who loved a good MP murder), where are you talking about the inadequates current favourite Patriotic Alternative, who attract many who talk of other racial demographics as animals, and have been conclusively shown to draw in plenty who genuinely hold extreme nazi based views, (and supporter(s) who have since been arrested for plotting terror acts)? Where is your criticism of those, through either naivety or thrill, orbitting this crap? Nowhere. But now suddenly you're fine with Russia cleansing an entire country of anyone who disagrees with their actions under the assumption that it's some kind of 'nazi' wipe out. That is the criticism, that is the reality. To say that there is no point arming Ukranians because on a numbers game basis you view that they cannot win and may as well surrender countrywide is a bizarre argument. It's akin to the Russian argument that the West is to blame for the war for not simply allowing them the easy victory of wiping out unarmed opposition. Not everyone wants to roll over when their home is invaded. Would you want that? If Ukranians had laid down their arms as Russia made their way to the Capital the country would not exist in its current form as the majority of its citizens presently see it. Where exactly is the bargaining hand there. If you genuinely think that unimpeded Russia would've simply stopped at Donbass, then you've drowning in Alt Media Koolaid. We know that not to be true. They may get their Pyrrhic victory, something to be used to convince the home crowd, but I very much doubt long term that militarily or economically it will be seen as some kind of 'win', which will likely do much more to dissuade repeats in the future, than the do nothing approach. Enjoy Jubilee weekend. If your check box alt media allegiance tells you you're allowed to that is.

The neo Nazi issue in the Ukraine is real but it's exaggerated as any kind of threat to Russia just as it's exaggerated and lied about elsewhere. However, you will notice the difference in treatment. Edited by Stirlingsays (02 Jun 2022 1.04pm)

I don't recall anyone being positive about the fact that neo nazis are in this country or that. It's long since been known to be an issue in the area. In fact multiple well known leaders of well known, violence promoting American neo nazi groups effectively set up shop in Russia years back to avoid scrutinity or arrest at home. W12 is apparently not concerned by that fact and also seemingly takes no view of nazi types in the Russian army either. This whole 'special operation' to cleanse the entire country of nazis is quite transparently propoganda to get the home crowd on side. It in no way aligned with what occured on the ground. The fact that Ukraine is the country under attack, and the majority of those fighting for them are ordinary Ukranians, not nazis, annuls claims that people have favoured types of nazis. Furthermore, if a country is invaded to the point it fears for its future, we don't do a 'This is Your Life' bio before every fire fight. You take all the help you can and put differences aside. Which is something those often propped up by compassionate societies, while endlessly attacking them and mindlessly demeaning demographics left, right and centre should think on.

Many Ukrainians are in fact being made to fight....but that's apparently alright and not worthy of comment. There are reports of soldiers who wanted to surrender being killed by their own side. But you know, everything is ok because 'Putin bad'. Let's support prolonging the war because 'Putin bad'. Those in greenhouses throwing stones. Edited by Stirlingsays (02 Jun 2022 1.51pm)

Ok, while the Ukraine has officially drafted the Azov into their armed forces I would like to see evidence of Russia officially incorporating neo Nazi groups into their military.

The issue with alt media is that it can be anyone. When there are no barriers to entry I think it's fair to recognise that and where appropriate to criticise it. However, where it isn't fair is to criticise a media source without actually investigating it for accuracy but instead just dismissing it because it basically isn't saying what you want to hear. What is important is how objective or attached to truth the source is. There are going to be honest and fair people in any profession, however in the mainstream media how many of those people do you think are going to get to the top positions unless they resemble the ideological ideals of their employers.....basically none....so you get group think. If someone is actually interested in what is true.....and ain't that a falling statistic in today's world.....then you have to judge a media source by how accurate their reports turn out to be.....how accurate is it to call an event an 'evacuation' or a 'surrender'.....How objective is either. It reminds me of what happened in Syria, I think I first noticed it then. Over reporting successes and under reporting or just omitting negatives. The modern media use to mock the Iraqi Information Minister they dubbed 'Comical Ali' and for good reason. However, like him....because they are influenced by their bosses they too have inherently started to use the same lens....nowhere near as bad, but it's there. We need a fourth estate that actually cares more about the truth than the pay check.....unfortunately it seems you are only getting that from some alt media sources in this war over and above those that should be depended upon. Having said that, alt media can be just as biased and wrong as any other.....it depends upon the particular source and how much care is put into reporting what actually happens.

Nobody claimed that Russia intentionally drafted neo nazis into the army. I doubt they crutinise the politics of all serving. You are more than able to look into neo nazi links in Russian society and military if you want. I'm not sure Ukranian citizens presently getting raped and murdered much care about the politics of those doing it. Quote Those in greenhouses throwing stones.
That reminds me, I must plant those tomatoes.
