It's actually funny here because the pro-regime pro-Ukrainian people often say "might doesn't make right" but they themselves are guilty of believing that NATO is right because.... it has the might, and it writes the "international law". That's called subjugation by a mighty Empire, follow my law or else. It's comical really how people lack the introspection and humility to see this, it's plainly obvious. So "might doesn't make right" is a criticism of NATO, not Russia - the other hilarious one is "history is written by the victors" okay then apply that to WWII :lol:


Very well-put
In my experience most libturds don’t know anything about the conflict they’re only pro-Ukraine because it’s politically popular as a leftoid. They all love to virtue signal to each other and put their little blue yellow Ukraine flags in their bios etc but an extremely small % of them can coherently articulate why they hold that position.

The Lithuanian government has decided to send Ukraine targeted aid for infrastructure restoration in the amount of €13 million. The decision was made at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, the government press service reported.

"€13 million will be transferred to Ukraine for the needs of restoring critical and social infrastructure," the statement said.

Lithuania intends to borrow these funds under state guarantees.

Yeah there's footage showing what's pretty identifiable as a patriot battery, both control/radar and firing units in the field, and clearly not decoys since they are seen launching interceptors at the Iskanders just prior to being destroyed
besides the obvious question about the function of patriots being unable to shoot down subsonic missiles targeting them, their minimum use case, it does raise another point

These missile systems are almost assuredly crewed by Americans who are working unflagged, whether they are direct military officers operating as little green men, or contractors. The fact this Patriot battery got hit just as it fired means very high odds some American soldiers just got killed by Russia and we're not going to hear the US admit it, our government will keep us in the dark and cover up our losses in this conflict. Hope the families understand

Conjecture based on zero evidence. You think after nearly 3 years, Ukrainians can't operate their own AA system? C'mon now.

"Russia To Accept Mandarins Instead of Money Amid Payment Difficulties"

This went quietly under the radar on PARD. Seems that being on a war footing actually means reverting back to a medieval barter system, bravo.

Why do some Ukrainian fighters wear patches of "Ruthenia Lion" that refer to the Waffen SS Division Galicia emblem?

The best explanation was provided by Roman Ponomarenko, chief "Azov historian", and officer of 12th Special Operations Brigade "Azov".

"Currently, thousands of Ukrainian soldiers are fighting on the Eastern Front with the emblem of the "Golden Lion" on their equipment, while their opponents are decorated with Soviet symbols. That's why our 2023 reflects the situation of 1944 in many ways", he wrote on his Telegram on 80thanniversary of Division.

Not Skabeyeva, not Solovyov, or other Kremlin propagandists, but Ponomarenko himself explicitly draws parallels between Ukrainian soldiers who resist current Russian aggression to Ukrainian Nazi collaborators in WWII. He equalizes Putin's Russia with Stalin's Russia and believes that "times change, but the enemy stays the same". He glorifies Division fighters and believes they must be granted the official national status of fighters for Ukraine as OUN and UPA members did due to the 2015-memory laws.

Ponomarenko promotes his idea through books, articles, interviews, and public talks. Most importantly, he disseminated his ideas to thousands of members of the Azov movement. In 2017, he started to be a lecturer for the National Corps, and in 2022, he joined the Azov Brigade. Through his lectures, Ukrainian soldiers learn about "true freedom fighters," whose image was deliberately "distorted" by Soviet propaganda then and Kremlin propaganda now.

Is this Muslims blood feuding with other Muslims?

I'd like to see any rational argument that these people should be allowed to govern themselves

Less meat for the meat grinder. I'm sure our fellow PaRDians who constantly lament the unnecessary casualties of this war will welcome this development. :unsure: :lol:
