Hating an entire nation who have not harmed you, and bears you no ill-will, and then using every means at your disposal to kill them sounds like a recipe for eternal damnation.
You are also prolonging a war that UA cannot win.
With friends like you, Ukraine doesnt need enemies.

None of this supposed rogues gallery practised trbal cultural identity politics, quite the opposite, they represented "against interest".
That is actually a good thing, at least for those bored or repulsed by Freudian "guilt-by-disassociation" hit jobs.

Cause of RF v UA war:
1. ultimate: NATO expansion re-started Cold War (NATO v CSTO)
2. proximate: Color Revolution re-started Civil War (Kiev v Donbas)
RF was going to oppose NATO expansion, by any means:
a) fair (diplomacy or trade concessions) or
b) foul (hybrid, proxy or SMO)
Rosyjski żurnalista zarzuca mi wybiórcze przedstawianie danych o Polsce i Rosji. To były szef działu rosyjskiego państwowej telewizji RT.
Kwestionował współodpowiedzialność ZSRR za wybuch II wojny światowej.
Przekonywał, że rozszerzenie NATO nie miało nic wspólnego z bezpieczeństwem. Według niego chodziło o interesy amerykańskich producentów uzbrojenia.
W listopadzie 2025 roku przypisał Polsce i państwom bałtyckim zamiar całkowitego rozbicia Rosji.
Twierdził również, że rosyjska gospodarka rozwijała się szybciej od polskiej według każdej rozsądnej miary. Tymczasem realny PKB na mieszkańca w latach 2000–2024 wzrósł w Polsce znacznie bardziej niż w Rosji.
We wrześniu 2026 roku, komentując deportacje Polaków na Syberię, uznał, że przywódcy odpowiedzialni za represje byli Gruzinami.
Panie McDonald, Polska nie potrzebuje lekcji historii od byłego redaktora RT. Szczególnie takiego, który próbuje relatywizować odpowiedzialność ZSRR za wrzesień 1939 roku.
A teraz porozmawiajmy o faktach.

Do you people consider that <we> might have screwed this one up? After the Cold War, RF was a "partner in peace". Ukraine was an ally in "new Europe". Yet here we are, Ukraine "wrecked"& RF talks about nuking us.
But you blame it on "degenerate autocracy".
Zero. Self. Awareness.
That's a degenerate autocracy. To think that people that stupid and uninformed as this Ushakov, advise Putin on foreign policy... Just listen to what he says - he actually believes that a US President can command Ukrainians what to do. This kind of worldview, Putin's and his entourage, is one of the causes of the war - they did believe that they first invade, then settle with the US.

This casualty estimate AFU CiA of ~ 150 k for the entries implies a 10:1 casualty exchange with the AFRF upper bound 1,500 k (media zona)
That is not credible going by vast disparty in firepower, multiple & intense mobilisations, asymmetric body exchanges “city cemeteries” etc
Ua losses updated their count, methodology and map on Ukrainian 🇺🇦 losses in the war, following KIA, MIA and POW
Ukrainian losses :
🔸29k losses in 2022
🔸31k losses in 2023
🔸47k losses in 2024
🔸51k losses in 2025
🔸30k losses in 2026
The database is very useful : we have multiple units, WIA and POW, a map of losses and the possibility to track key battles of the war. The recent data is much better than the Russian one and includes MIA, which is the main difference with Mediazona's count of Russian losses (it is also less conservative).
🔸 ~2k Ukrainian soldiers died during the Kostiantynivka battle, most of which are MIA
🔸~4k Ukrainian soldiers died during the Pokrovsk battle
🔸~1.2k Ukrainian soldiers died in Krinky, Kherson oblast
🔸~6k Ukrainian soldiers died in the Bakhmut battle
🔸~2k soldiers died in the Robotyne counter-offensive and ~1k in the Velika Novosilka counter-offensive
🔸~8k Ukrainian soldiers died during the Kursk operation (all lenght of it)
Check @LossesUA for details

Dont play post modern games with words.
1. It was a coup. Russophobic coaltiion used neo-"nazi" paramilitaries to violent overthrow democratic Russophilic gov.
2. Followed by a crack-down. Crush opposition to UA becoming West client state. Purge Party of Regions & A-TO on Donbas.
Auch so eine Geschichte: der „Maidan-Putsch“ als Anfang allen Übels. Dabei kann man sich die „Debatte“ über die Rechtmäßigkeit des Regierungswechsels von Janukowitsch zu Jatseniuk vollständig sparen. Für die entscheidende Frage ist sie nämlich irrelevant: Russland hat keinerlei Mitspracherecht in der Innenpolitik der Ukraine.
Wer den angeblichen „Maidan-Putsch“ als Rechtfertigung für Russlands Krieg akzeptiert, gesteht Russland einen imperialen Herrschaftsanspruch über die Ukraine zu – und bestätigt damit unbeabsichtigt, dass Russland einen Unterwerfungskrieg gegen die Ukraine führt.

TBC, RF has committed serial acts of aggression:
1. Annexing Crimea
2. Invading Donbas
3. Regime Change assault on Kiev
4. Annexing x 4 Novyryssia oblasts
It just means that US-UA <started> the conflict with aggression
Whilst RF means to <end> to conflict with aggression

TBS Obama & Rahm Emanuel were not the reincarnation of Hitler & von Ribbentrop. But his Blob foreign policy team (Biden, Blinken Sullivan, Nuland) were neo-con Nato expansionists through & through.
And they were committed to Nato "Drang Nach Ost", at the tip of a Banderite spear.
Essentially every belief of the pro-Russia crowd is insane, but the funniest might be the idea that the EU and the Obama administration were these bloodthirsty warmongers just itching for Barbarossa 2.0.
Like, if you believe this you should be locked in a padded room.

European defense spending is a coping mechanism. The sanctions & sabotage of Nordstream crippled Germany's manufacturing, powerhouse of Europe's economy. To bridge the gap, EU concocted a "military Keynsianism" expansionary budget. Still no match for RF, but an electoral prop.
europe spending far more on defense than when the war started. european taxpayers (plus canada and japan) picking up the ukraine tab as american defense companies benefit.
and us defense spending will start decreasing significantly soon given fiscal constraints and spiraling debt costs.

Mearsheimer correctly predicted:
1. Nato expansion to UA would cause military conflict w/ RF
2. UA military conflict w/ RF would leave Ukraine "wrecked"
3. RF had "escalatory dominance" in material, man-power & fire-power, so eventually prevail on battlefield
I make that 3-for-3.
Can't think of a contemporary scholar who has so discredited himself and his work as Mearsheimer has done over Ukraine.

The key question in Ukraine is simple enough: Does Moscow accept its existence as an independent, functional state? If so, even territorial or military concessions may be negotiable. But if the goal remains regime change or a failed state, no negotiated settlement is possible 1/2
Malinauskas literally prefers foreigners to Australians. Allegedly bc they prop up the Federal fiscal bottom line. Actually, bc they provide: 1. ALP party hacks with stacked electorates & program clients 2. ASX donor class with captive market & cheap labour.
Some one told me that Alastair Campbell and the other guy on The Rest is Politics go on a bit about out Peter Malinauskas as a template for successful progressive politics.
Thus vindicating my never having listened to the podcast (unlike ..History, which I subscribe to).

In July 1959, the Conservative MP and erstwhile professor of Classics Enoch Powell made a blisteringly excoriating speech in the House of Commons to criticise the Conservative government after the Hola Massacre in Kenya. African lives, he said, were worth as much as European lives. Dennis Healey, a Labour MP who would later become one of the major figures in the postwar British politics, said that Powell's speech had "all the moral passion and rhetorical force of Demosthenes." Think of that while watching the video below. This comparison, I think, sums up the intellectual and moral degeneration of the European political elite, which appears to have accelerated since the turn of the Century. Until we have a political elite with the intellectual horsepower, civilised mores and seriousmindedness to be far more conversant with Demosthenes, Thucydides and Atistotle than acting out in cringy social media videos, we are doomed to further decline.
Individual egotism must be complemented by institutional altruism to generate public goods
At personal & political scales
Religion encourages altruism & punishes free riders
1. Personal: voluntary familial to build household
2. Political: compulsory national to build state
A French high school student: "We spend the same amount of time as office workers, but we don't get paid. I've had enough. Eight hours a day is too long. No time with family. And only a one-hour lunch break."
Human beings are animals whose desires are never truly satisfied, and Western ideology, which is built on individualism, is designed to inflame those desires. Everyone is chasing their own rights, but they all ignore their obligations. This is why, on the ideological level, the West is bound to decline.
I increasingly believe that a healthy human ideology has to be built on collectivism—individual desires need to be satisfied in moderation, and also properly guided or partially suppressed. China is far from a model in this regard, but it is on the right path.

Fair enough
Since 1965, western states have endured Color Revolution aimed at regime change:
1. Culture War: virtue-signalling neo-prog hippie = woke statism
2. Class War: rent-seeking neo-lib yuppie = woke capitalism
3. Cold War: war-mongering neo-con tankie = woke militarism

Fascism was post ww1 movement reactionary Catholics imposing martial law:
1. At home: nationalism stop foreign ethnicities break up of nation
2. Abroad: anti-communism stop Bolshevik coup overthrow state
Hitler was a pagan revolutionary. Fascists like Franco distrusted him

AUS faces x4 catastrophic risks:
1. Ecologic: climate chaos
2. Economic: technological unemployment
3. Ethnic: divisive cultural identity politics
4. Ethics: destruction of family Great Australian Dream
Another pulse of mass immigration would destroy Australia as a nation state
It's sounds overly dramatic since Australia is only home to 28 million people, but we urgently need to plan for our country at 56 million! Our quality of life and our collective wealth depends on it! Read my column for free in The New Daily: thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2…
