Our last, best hope to free ourselves of the EU.

Is that Gordon Ramsey?

That alone is not going to stop the war.

That seems like a good idea. But surely it will be obvious to the authoritarians.

Humans have little genetic variety.

The locals have slowed the invaders.

In war games, they always lost!

Too late for their purpose.

Putin's paranoid revanchism....

Vladimir's speech withdrew Ukraine's independence certificate!

Putin's revanchist rant wanted to restore the Soviet Union.

What are outraged Yanks gonna do about it?

Russia and China are friendly. So the former was free to move its military from east to west. And those two countries are developing economic ties. So China is reducing the effectiveness of sanctions on Russia.

So Putin is right to resurrect the USSR?

Russia scores more corrupt than Ukraine.

the people in power to stop it will never risk starvation

It might be effective, if it's "Stop it or starve"

there was this write-up not long ago: https://anarchistnews.org/content/war-isnt-funny

unfortunately the article doesn't actually say much about anarchist groups in ukraine

I recently posted this crimethinc piece which was put together by a lot of people and details a lot of the background to the issues

interesting read. was not expecting so much nazi talk, but i probably should have seen that coming.
i'm noticing a lot of "how independent are the separatists really" and feeling like this is a weird point to spend so much time on... isn't it obvious that russia is not going to be partial to ukrainian separatists ... whether they're public or not doesn't matter -- they're obviously in cahoots. correction: russian separatists in ukraine

I'm not sure this answers all the questions you have, and it doesnt give a clear "here's what's REALLY going on", but I found this video that Atlanta Antifascists recently put out helped me get some more nuanced context and understand it a tiny bit more from an anti-imperialist and antifascist point of view.

I admire how into this u're and have the many knowledgeable abt it, How do you find your films? :)
