source: the turbolibs nearby who have had a Ukrainian flag on their house for three full years have at last taken the faded rag down. Ukraine will probably collapse now without their brave full-scale show of support
See this is why I changed my profile to an instance that was federated with hexbear lol
So you trusted the USA and got yourself into a meatgrinder war and now the USA has betrayed you and after killing hundreds of thousands of your people you’re finally ready to negotiate: A Primer.
A Complete Idiot’s Guide to Being A US Imperial Stooge
What did Gaddafi do again to get put on there?
Played along with the Bush administration’s push to get rid of and demonstrate he no longer had WMDs, I suppose.
Before he went full anti-imperialist, in the early days after his military coup, he often played both the west and the soviets against each other. He wasn’t fully anti-American aligned until later
Now we need a new one with Milei or Bukele
Did Trump throw them under the bus already?
I thought they would double down on their “slava Ukraini”, since the orange man absolutely bullied their boy. I guess the battlefield realities is too much for even turbolibs to deny.
That would require a spine, and an ability to actually stand for something, two things that liberals lack.
Seeing a bunch of Ukraine flags out today. Country of fucking children
the nicely dressed people on TV who tell me what’s real wouldn’t lie this time. they just made oopsies in favor of empire with Iraq’s supposed WMDs and the Gulf of Tonkin and the USS Maine. this time it’s for freeeeeeedom
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
did something specific happen today?
tody was a “hands off” protest run by DNC-backed groups such as MoveOn, one of the things on the flyer they want to protect is “NATO”
oh god, that’s why? i saw a ukraine protest today and i’m literally in a different country fuck off. i hate the way usamerican propaganda and psyops and general culture war bullshit spreads across borders and oceans.
incidentally there was a both a ukraine and a palestine protest in the square today. guess which one the police were focussed on
First Luigi might get the death penalty and now this. Truly dark times for white-adjacent Europeans.
Ooh! It’s been a while since I walked near the turbolib house near me that had one displayed out the front.
I just drove by a hands off protest, there was at least 5.
Hands off our NATO!
the fucking gall to put “fReE sPeEcH” on there when a big chunk of these libs were busy ignoring (or cheering for) the violent suppression of campus Palestine protests under Biden
Liberals have no ideology other than arguing about what colour Harry Potter characters are anymore.
Did Americans peaceful protest Trump out of office yet?
I was talking to my son about seeing protestors when I was out earlier and he said “peaceful protest doesn’t actually do anything though.”
“Well bud, this is the first step to the state cracking down way too hard on peaceful protestors, then things will get more interesting.”
Peaceful protests by themselves exclusively don’t achieve any political goals (as long as it’s not funded by the CIA in an unstable region). Protests should be tied to actual action: unionisation, collective bargaining, striking, and teaching of political theory to the masses. And by “tied”, I mean that the people in the demonstration should explicitly be told to support the following, concrete steps already planned before the protest.
Protests used to be called ‘demonstrations’ because the point was to have an organized demonstration of your power to bring industry to a halt.
Hell even Rosa Park had to “stage” her act of protest where she became famous for and she didnt work alone. It was an concerted effort by black civil rights groups. The collective effort is erased in liberal history, because of the worship of the individual above the collective.
Abbie Hoffman was good at this. Abbie Hoffman was also not afraid of a little violence.
Your son sounds based AF.
He’s sixteen. He’s got a good head on his shoulders.
The kids are alright
“Well you see, Jimbo…”
i’m getting reports from the front now: trump has taken his ball and is going home. we did it people.
It’s funny because the Rich-Town-Next-To-Mine Index has had them buy new flags to hang up
Only a few of them though
This feels like a Nextdoor post.
Have they? I still see plenty in my neck of the woods.

not many people know this, but NATO stands for North Atlantic “The” Organization
Language stuff unrelated to politics because I couldn’t care less about which article is used for different countries: in Russian, the preposition “in” translates as “в” (pronounced like the English v) and is the one most commonly used for referring to countries. However, for reasons I don’t personally know, Ukraine and possibly other countries (idk lmao I don’t speak a lot of Russian) are talked of not “in”, but using the preposition “on” (на, sounds like English nah).
It’s exactly same in Polish. It’s probably some kind of archaism from old slavic language since a lot of the old medieval contacts are “on” but nearly all of the newer ones are “in”
As additional evidence, in Russian there is also an interesting dichotomy between modern form “в России” and archaic form “на Руси”.
It’s just because the word Ukraine comes from “окраина”, which means “borderlands”, and in Russian we say “in a country” but “on a land”. Same explanation applies to what comrade Collatz_problem (sorry not sure how to @) says below – “на Руси” has a connotation of “on the land of Rus”.
P.S. I personally don’t see a problem with saying “в Украине”, it is grammatically correct Russian that recognises Ukraine as a country.
It means borderland. Similar to Krajina, which is also called prefixed with a “the”. This just petty semantics and nationalistic foolery.

You people are fucking vile, holy shit.
The crowd who’ve spent the last 3 years screaming “TO THE LAST UKRAINIAN” is calling others “vile”, what a joke
You neo-nazi normalizing liberals are disgusting, cope harder
I just dont want ukrainians to die for nato in some proxy war, how does that make me vile?
Progressive libs from 1960-2010: war is bad
Progressive libs in 2025: MORE BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
Progressive libs in 2001: we need to get Bin Laden tho
Progressive libs in 2003: we need to get Saddam tho
Libs oppose every war except the current one.
Truth
You know what’s really vile? Kidnapping people off the street so they can be killed within a month.
What’s “”“”“vile”“”" is sacrificing 600,000 Ukrainian lives on the altar of… being able to genocide Russian-speaking Ukrainians
You’re honestly just like /r/conservative here, it’s incredible. Horseshoe theory in action.
What about totally-not-a-colonizer Russia blowing up 9 children with a ballistic missile this week? For the umpteenth time. That’s morality in this shithole?
Horseshoe theory in action.
Says the asswipe supporting an army of open neo-nazis, which Ukrainian unit named after a Nazi war criminal or Jew-massacring Ukrainian collaborator is your favorite?
It’s all just vibes to you libs, isn’t it? The material causes for people’s actions don’t matter to you, just how things look on the surface.
HoRsEsHoE ThEoRy unironically, lmao.
How many kids did your beloved US and Israel blow up this week?
Answer the question fuckhead.
Answer my question, fuckhead.
Sure. Way too many and it’s fucking evil.
You turn.
This could have ended 2 years ago if the west hadn’t convinced Ukraine to continue fighting… So
So do you think NATO/the US are morally good then? You yourself said them blowing up kids is evil. If you think they’re the “good guys” despite all of that, what makes you think you have a leg to stand on when you criticize Russia?
What about totally-not-a-colonizer Russia blowing up 9 children with a ballistic missile this week?
Fake news.
Did you know? There is a memorial in Donbas called the “alley of angels”, engraved with the names of over a hundred children killed by Maidan regime forces and paramilitary fascist militias since 2014, during their ethnic cleansing and terror bombing operations against the Russian-speaking ethnic minority of Ukraine - ostensibly their own citizens.
After trying desperately for nearly a decade to make peace via the Minsk I and Minsk II accords, the Russians (and in particular Putin) finally learned the same fucking thing that every single indigenous and socialist group in the world could have told him: that the US/NATO/the West CANNOT BE REASONED WITH, that any agreement reached with them isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, and even at the very moment their pen is signing their absolutely most solemn oath upon their very souls, they are betraying you. So, Russia, kicking and screaming, was dragged into the ongoing civil war (after first spending three days on parliamenary procedures to recognize the DPR and LPR as independant states and make defence pacts with them), on the morally correct side, sending a limited force - essentially a militarized police action - to end this monstrous persecution and secure their most vulnerable land border.
This sequence of events was predicted by the CIA in 2008
Having determined that Russia would react unfavorably to NATO expansion, that it could lead to violence in Ukraine itself, up to and including civil war, and that Russia would be forced to intervene even though it didn’t want to, the US decided to do exactly that.
Here’s John McCain in Ukraine in 2017 (after the signing of the Minsk II agreements) telling Ukrainian soldiers that “2017 will be the year of offence”
Here’s a Ukrainian neonazi talking on the 5th of February 2022 (!!!) explaining how NATO plans to balkanize Russia and put Ukraine in a position to “fight and kill” for the West, a project that is “cool and ambitious”. (As a bonus, he explains how the Maidan coup would have been a “gay parade” - and would have gone nowhere - without the action of Ukrainian fascists).
And last but not least, to bring it back to dead children, here’s some Ukrainian neonazi special forces with a classic joke prop, of the kind you make when you’re the good guys:
Tin cans of “separatist baby meat”.
who are Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt and what did they discuss regarding the 2014 coup in the Ukraine?

Well, you were telling them to speak American, so what native American dialect would you like? Duh.
Yeah? What’s your opinion on Gaza, colonizer?
modlog shows the person they replied to is, in fact, a disgusting piece of shit. Homophobes deserve nothing
They deserved it.

cant even speak like an American.
Oh really which native American dialect do you speak?
Oh that’s right you don’t because you’re a colonizer worm who has no right to breath the air you live in or occupy the place you reside. How about you shut the fuck up.
Go fuck yourself you disgusting piece of shit.
the part that’s baffling to me is, how did I not speak American English? did my body text just have too many dependent clauses for their literacy level
Ye Gads, what a lot of circle jerk horse shit. Oh wait it’s from hex bear. Not the least bit surprised. Step outside. Meet some humans. Join with others to improve your collective lot in life. Just a thought.
Gee willikers Scoopy, don’t these ungrateful ethnics know Ukrainians have to die for us in droves, so we get one over on Putler?
Get together with others to protest for never ending war!!!
Ye Gads
Meet some humans
definitely how normal, grass-touching people speak in 2025
ZOINKS!

It’s very funny to pretend that Ukraine has universal support outside of the liberal media bubble.
A lib friend of mine once posted this to show that Ukraine has overwhelming international support.
I was so owned \s.
Like seriously, not even the galloping Russophobia in Poland means people are really supporting Ukraine, also they got bored. I rememeber when government mobilized in thousands of places and organized support manifestations for Ukraine, maybe 50000 people came in entire country and most of them could be officials. Not even Ukrainians came for those manifestations - the 50000 number was less than 1% of Ukrianians living in Poland at this moment. And this moment wasn’t even now but 2 years ago when the propaganda was so intensive that half of news in media was about good Ukraine and evil Russia.

Do you think Ukraine is going to win the war
LOL, cry more about your nazi idols
