    Russia has advanced significantly into Ukraine despite the entirety of NATO backing the Ukrainian forces and forced violent conscription in Ukraine…

    You trailed off there at the end, but so far everything you said is exaggerated to comical levels and completely unfounded.

      No it isn’t. Putin didn’t violate the Minsk or any other agreement. Ukraine, USA, and NATO did.

          The very idea that the nation who in mid invasion of the very nation the Minsk agreement is for is somehow not breaking the treaty that says no one will invade that very nation is wild and some real amazing dissociation.

            Yeah. And it’s not even the only treaty they’ve broken. Like the Budapest Memorandum providing security assurances for Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine, or the neat little agreement not to change borders in Europe with military force. And then there are all those countless broken ceasefire agreements in this current conflict…

              Almost as if every nation around them have been stating no one can trust a russain word or treaty for a while now. Look at Poland who for many many years has been screaming at the top of Rysy mountain about russia being a threat and even now people out side of the former soviet bloc keep thinking this can be fixed by another agreement in writing. That a good talk and document will change the russian stance in the world.

              The reason Ukraine does stop fighting and has little hope in a peace treaty is that a russian treaty is not even as worthwhile as toilet paper. This is in fact a very bad thing for russia on the world stage, no one trusts them at all. The only ones willing to work with them are using them and plan to squeeze them for everything they can (China, North Korea, India). This is how empires end, they are not strong enough to be the bully in the world and have zero credibility outside of being a contrarian talking point. The same thing is happening to israel and the states right now, who would want to sign a trump deal that he will rip up in a few months? Or a cease fire with netanyahu? Whats the point?

        Shit’s horrific. But sure, Europe and the US are propping up this totally democratic state for the Ukrainian people.

          Welcome to Russia Post, a digital platform for commentary and analysis of Russia-related issues, operated by The Russia Program at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

          Bro, wtf is this shit.

          So the draft is morally questionable and you’ve seen the footage provided and now you find excuses in Washington, D.C.? Cope harder, buddy.

            The article is written by a Russian about his home region in Russia. Would you rather if someone from fellow St Petersburg Institute have written the article, tovarisch?

              Your “article” is originally (as stated and linked) from Radio Free Europe, a US financed, CIA founded anti-Soviet media outlet with the sole purpose to spread propaganda. So, for one, you’re spreading US propaganda.

              Anyway, the topic was about the systematic, forceful obduction of Ukrainian citizens by their own government, only to imprison them, torture them and then throw them into the meat grinder. So, your whataboutism is using US propaganda to distract away from that, which is shady as fuck, “comrade”.

                Predictably comrade, you are repeating the same old RFE this, RFE that. Straight from your handlers playbook that people have been hearing from years. Who cares? What is so bad about spreading democratic ideals? Is the colour revolution bad because it usurps Kremlin-aligned kleptocrats? Is this why Russia promotes regressive dark enlightenment ideas and being associated with Epstein.

                Anyway, the topic was about the systematic, forceful obduction of Ukrainian citizens by their own government

                Well done, you just figured out how draft works 👏👏. But predictably, you won’t mention about Russian authorities drafting students, street raids and coercing businesses to send youths. So, how is Russia better as you are implying? One side is fighting for survival, the other is forcefully recruited to suck their superior’s dick. Cry me a river. Oh and before you say anything, if Ukrainians are indeed tortured by their state, they would not be so motivated to cause Russia a net territorial loss this year and Putin just waivered bond auctions which could lead to the Russian state defaulting. You better leave your office in St Petersburg, tovarisch, before Russia collapses again in just less than a generation. You don’t want to live the 1990s again. The couple of cents you gained from few previous posts should let you buy a plane ticket out of there 🫡

                    No problem. Enjoy the plane ride out of Russia. Make sure there are no unhinged doors on your flight. You don’t want to end up like your idol, Prigozhin. You should have joined him on the march to Moscow when you had the chance and maybe your country will be in better position.
