...
Eventually, through the Democratic Process and the prosperity it brings, these extremist elements would fade away into a tiny picturesque minority amidst a wide range of political views as it's the case in every other Democracy.
...

It was already happening. Right wing extremists had been politically marginalised in recent years. The skin heads are basically a political tool funded by various politicians in Ukraine. Primarily a minister called Arsen Avakov who is no longer in power. When his funding dried up their presence on the streets almost disappeared too.

Russians lost their freedom. Now the only place they can go is China, and it might stay that way for a very very long time....

Russian people are now trapped in their country, no more travel to Europe or America. Russia was in no danger at all, they have too many nuclear weapons for any country to attack them, it would simply be suicidal !! Putin just gave the proof, that every countries on their border, are right to incorporate NATO, you just can't trust a dictator !!!

 No, as far as I know they need visa for China as well

Right. There are extremists in ALL democracies.
Let's just remember our own January 6th Capitol attack.
But their presence doesn't define a country as Putin tries when he is using a tiny extremist minority to define Ukraine.
Too bad that some on this forum, Russian trolls or not, are buying his propaganda (e.g. komikmiha, SVH, ...)

Dear Russian friends, I know there is a significant stock photographers community, so I have an appeal to you.

Please do not believe in your Russian media propaganda saying that terrible war is some kind of "special action". It is regular war against Ukrainian civils. Putin is cannon firing kindergartens, hospitals and civilian areas. Your Russian dictator is not better that Hitler or Kim Jong-un. He started the worst kind of war in the middle of Europe so no one can feel safe now.

I am asking you to inform and spread the true information wherever you can in your country. Putin already cut you off from most foreign media, so all ways to reach you are good.

Thanks!

BTW, I am not Ukrainian, but I have so much sympathy to their people that I had to post it, hope it won't be removed. If is reaches even one unaware Russian, my message makes sense. The only way to bring peace back to Europe is to make Russian aware and ready to avert from their ruler.

Please do not confuse any population in the world with their politicians. Please, first before lecturing any citizen from any country, do not believe in your own country's media propaganda. I have much sympathy for both ukrainians and russians, yet I don't think my little person & my personal opinions/feelings/believes/thoughts can have any influence on geopolitical events, as terrible as they can be, but unfortunately that's how we are educated and accustomed to think in most of western countries. And Putin is not Hitler.

Give it a bleeding rest I'm sick of Putin apologists who think that psycho sh-it is some kind of new messiah

Dear users, do not believe this person and the lies he is spreading on this forum. He makes no sense, he has no proof, he is biased. The West is spreading lies, the same lies when they showing us pictures of dead bodies when coronavirus strike. Nobody is innocent in war. It's always two sides. But in this case, we can all see that West has gone too far.

That's one of the many reasons why I love my home country - even if not everything here always works out the way I think it should.

But at least here I have the opportunity to inform myself on a wide variety of channels and form my own opinion. In certain countries, that's no longer possible.

By the way: The pictures of dead people caused by the virus are not an invention of the West. Russia and China are also hellishly afraid of Corona. Especially Putin. And I assume that he is better informed about the threat of Corona than you are.

When I read something like this, it really makes me sick.
There are no arguments for war. Period. No discussion.

If you're sick go to the doctor. Maybe you just can't read? I didn't said any argument for war. Now, go and read one more time, this time really slowly. You'll get it.

Check out this video, it'll explain everything:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtOx6dW_0vU

Well, a balanced video published in Feb 18 2022 -  before an autocratic superpower attack a sovereign nation, killing its children, destroying its infrastructure, forcing 1,000,000+ (and counting) citizens to become refugees, in an attempt to topple a democratic elected government to impose their will.

Eventually, through the Democratic Process and the prosperity it brings, these extremist elements would fade away into a tiny picturesque minority amidst a wide range of political views as it's the case in every other Democracy.

With Putin's invasion, this won't happen in Ukraine. Extremism, Nationalism and the resort to violence to resolve differences will loom over Europe and the World for years to come... we need to act NOW!

A bully understands only one language - it is unfortunate, but this is the human nature - we need to crush him in any way possible before he drags us down to a dystopian future (and we are long overdue at that).

This is not the time to stay impartial.

Well, you can stay blind the rest of your life or you can turn on your brain. This video is just simply explanation of events and counter events. You can do further exploring on your own. But, with your blindfold on your eyes that would be impossible. Just go and stop Putin, lol and one more time lol.

Maybe this will be better for you?

The west is not spreading lies how can they fake news videos which are geolocated so proven to come from Ukraine. In any case the whole world thinks Putin is wrong killing civilians for NO reason how on earth can you agree with that?. COVID 19 was very real no way it could be faked.

Where did you see any apology of Poutine in this quote ? You're the kind of people reaching the godwin point in 1 nanosecond. People who don't read history books, which are made to help making relevant comparison, makes me vomit. If I say Putin did not bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki what will you say

[Myphotobase]

I found some interesting old news from Times Magazine, speaking about this supposely dangerous nazi group. It's seems true that they exist, since the USA seems to have declared them as terrorist group. It might explain why russia would invade the dunbass, to protect russians there.

These groups tried to make a party, but only got 2% of votes in an election. So 98% of the population including the president (a jew) just don't follow them. Attacking a country and trying to change a government because of these people, is a little bit far fetched.

Furthermore, you have these kinds of people in most democracies, including the usa, france, uk & australia. And there, people just don't listen to their rhetorics..

We don't trust videos (from whatever sources), too easy to manipulate... give us historic links (in english, and not from russia) if you want us to believe something..

In any case, the whole world thinks what media wants you to think. There is no single evidence of Putin killing civilians. It's just childish. Covid was real but the media makes us sooo scare of that. Did you forget vaccines? Where is this deadly virus now?

There are no arguments for war. Period. No discussion.

Not that I agree with Putin, on the contrary, but if you mean what you say, then you certainly must agree that sending military weapons by the EU countries and the US into Ukraine will not solve this issue but make it only worse. And I assume that you also condemn the Ukranian government for waging war against ethnic russians in the eastern part of the country for the last 8 years and also not respecting the Minsk agreements. Right?

i'd make the distinction between agression and defense against them - no reason to condemn Ukraine or countries helping them defend themselevs

just the opposite - right wing authoritarians & nationalist are on the rise in many democracies - India, Turkey, Hungary, and getting stronger in France.

right wing extremists now control the republican party, some even cheering on Russia.

Hmm, maybe it's not clear for everybody, but in French, his name is spelled "Poutine", because if spelled like in most of the world, "Putin", it will sound exactly like "putain" = whore.

[Wilm]

...And this...

As for the "invention" of weapons of mass destruction/atomic weapons in Iraq, I agree with you completely. Tony Blair and George W. Bush were clearly lying about that.

Otherwise, it would be good if you would check the sources you are basing your information on. This applies to the coronavirus as well as to other topics. Does the term "fake news" mean anything to you? Whether Donald Trump invented it, I don't know. But he's a big fan of Fake News. In that regard, he's very comparable to Putin - and not only in this respect.

That's not "Bernie Gores," that's Jordie Jordan - a YouTuber with his own channel.

The attack on civilians is not an accident.

Putin was surprised by the unity and the stiff resistance of all Ukrainians, who denied him the easy 48h blitzkrieg victory, he initially planned for.
Bombarding residential areas shows that he switched to terror tactics, attempting to break regular people's morale, their unity, and their unexpected massive support for their brave government.
