@pkamaev @ThaddeusCarpen2 @AniaKoniec @UelandJohn @TimothyDSnyder @mattschmidtphd Still a Russian citizen. Doesn't change the point that @AniaKoniec is wrong. #Putin was subversively attacking Donbass before he actively invaded. Then he invaded. Any and all shelling that occurred in Ukraine is Putin's fault. Nobody else.
@BowlOfMice @dilanesper @Brien_Jackson I dunno I bet he wasn't happy seeing NATO mechanized infantry on his border increase 20%. But that is a valid point. They didn't have to fear as much as other Baltic and Caucus Nations. The idea that a dictator allows another country to have sovereignty is just so 19th century
@ConservaWonk @Aelkus Or #Russia does not invade the near abroad and drops the Derzhavnost dream of suzerain states. #Russia wasn't exactly a willing partner. Not sure they would have accepted the Marshall Plan. Ohhh yeah Stalin was a dick. He killed millions. Not a good dude.
@pkamaev @ThaddeusCarpen2 @AniaKoniec @UelandJohn @TimothyDSnyder @mattschmidtphd Russian citizen yes or no? Also a moot point. Again @AniaKoniec original point was Putin intervened in Donbass. That is not true. Operatives and assets live before 2014. Russian Howitzers and troops in country by February. If Russia did not help the Separatist were defeated
@pkamaev @ThaddeusCarpen2 @AniaKoniec @UelandJohn @TimothyDSnyder @mattschmidtphd Keep trying. Literally only people who support #Putin and #tyranny keep this myth Going. #Russia invaded Crimea in 2014 #Russia invaded Donbass in 2014 #Russia escalated in 2014 That poor little girl would be alive today if #Putin did not think the near abroad belonged to him

Anybody want to explain to @tonykevin how to spell Kyiv as per the preference of the Ukrainian Government. Hint... It is isn't in Russian. Ки́їв #NAFO https://x.com/tonykevin/status/1594959147002658816
@tonykevin What are you talking about? Images of #Russia show infrastructure crumbling. If the corruption that hollowed out the #RF hit rest of #Russia it is falling apart. Mariupol will be liberated soon. Then #Ukraine can begin to rebuild
@pkamaev @ThaddeusCarpen2 @AniaKoniec @UelandJohn @TimothyDSnyder @mattschmidtphd And we know that Russia provided Howitzers starting in August of 2014. The war in Donbass was a different front in the war #Russia started when they invaded #Crimea Worse #Russia had GRU assets on th ground in Ukrainian uniforms. How tyranny spreads in Near Abroad
Hey #NAFO for those of you wanting to consider a Mastodon server before jumping try out this tool. #clmooc I suggest we head over to #DS106 instance BTW the webring website I had running is 100% borked. Will rebuild just the RSS Planet https://x.com/anildash/status/1597658186877906944
@pkamaev @ThaddeusCarpen2 @AniaKoniec @UelandJohn @TimothyDSnyder @mattschmidtphd Go back to the OGP @AniaKoniec posited that Ukrainians were shelling Ukrainians for 8 years in Donbass. Putin "intervened and did not invade" This is pronounced utter nonsense. We have all, including you, proved GRU was in #Ukraine starting in 2014 and probably before
@pkamaev @ThaddeusCarpen2 @AniaKoniec @UelandJohn @TimothyDSnyder @mattschmidtphd Russian Citizen sanctioned by the US Government as a Russian. You can be a dual citizen.
@pkamaev @ThaddeusCarpen2 @AniaKoniec @UelandJohn @TimothyDSnyder @mattschmidtphd Yes crime bosses are bad. Why is that controversial They paid the gopniki. to join their separatist forces. Now Akhmetov was fighting more for his own control and probably wanted neither side to win Aleksandr Yefremo who ran the illegal mines recruited many at district level
@pkamaev @ThaddeusCarpen2 @AniaKoniec @UelandJohn @TimothyDSnyder @mattschmidtphd Sanctioned by Executive Orders 13660 and 13685 as a Russian Citizen for his continued attacks on Ukraine
@pkamaev @ThaddeusCarpen2 @AniaKoniec @UelandJohn @TimothyDSnyder @mattschmidtphd Russian Citizen, go through them all. Do you want me to list the Ukranian criminal bosses with ties to organized crime that also lead the Separatist military....whole batch of those? They are Ukrainian but very bad people and have ties to Russian crime bosses
@pkamaev @ThaddeusCarpen2 @AniaKoniec @UelandJohn @TimothyDSnyder @mattschmidtphd I said Veterans of the War in Chechnya https://bit.ly/3XGKs6k Pavel Dromev ZDRILIUK, Serhii Anatoliyovych (a.k.a. ZDRILIUK, Serghiei; DOB 23 Jun 1972; POB Vinnytsia Region, ; citizen Russia (individual) 8 years of #Ukrainians shelling #Ukraine is pronounced nonsense
