If you want to look at what bombing schools and hospitals actually looks like then look no further than Gaza and the genocide western regimes are openly supporting.
Why does everyone on this platform assume that just because I'm pro-Ukraine, I must automatically be pro-Israel (rhetorical question). I'm against any country trying to do a land grab at the cost of human lives.
And whataboutism with Israel doesn't make Russia bombing schools and hospitals any better. Neither does Ukraine using them to house military equipment and personell.
People just assume a bit of consistency from you fascists.
I said it was rhetorical. I know the reason is because a lot of people here view the world in pro-America and anti-America with latter being "pure good" and the former "pure evil".
I wonder what your opinion is on Afghanistan.
My opinion on Afghanistan is that it was a successful socialist country before the US destroyed it and brutalized its people ever since.
You fascists are definitely consistent in your regurgitation of Putin propaganda.
Nah, pretty sure these are the actual fascists
You're like baby Goebbels thinking that if you just repeat your propaganda enough times it'll become the truth.
So are you saying that Putin or the russian government however defined is left of those?
Anybody with even a minimally functioning brain understands that they are.
Calling Putin in any sense left is absolutely wrong. The left is not exactly thriving in Russia is it?
Last I checked KPRF has 30% of the vote in Russia and is the main opposition, but let's not let facts get in the way of you spewing bullshit.
Sure, even if true, you are defending the government, not the opposition
Edit: I mean tell us, what left wing policies are pushed forward in Russia?
Pointing out basic facts isn't defending anything.
here you go ignoramus https://archive.ph/9tMtq
"In Russia under Mafia rule we get four weeks of vacation" WTF???? I mean that is some great advancement of left thinking. We let the mob rule and get some base holidays in return that are more than in the US but less than EU. Are you for real?
You asked what left wing policies exist in Russia and I gave you examples. You're so bad at trolling.
Four weeks holidays are not left wing policies unless you think of the EU as socialist. Nothing in the reddit quote you sent sound left wing in any sense. Unions? Taxing wealth? Your post doesn't mention anything like this. Instead it refers to the mob.
Nobody is claiming Russia is socialist. However, it clearly has better workers protections than many western countries. Your claim that Russia is fascist does not hold any water. It's just a regular capitalist shithole that mirrors the west.
Mate, it clearly doesn't. I mean your own link refers to Russia being run by the mob. Many EU countries have still unions with power. So, really what are you talking about better worker protections? That is utterly absurd!
LMFAO imagine claiming that labour has any power in the EU. What I'm talking about is your imbecilic claim that Russia is fascist. Using your own definition, the whole west is fascist.
I never defended the West. You defended Putin and that is the part that is absurd.
I never defended anything. I simply pointed out basic facts of the situation. You seem to intentionally conflate that with making some sort of a moral judgment.
You absolutely defended Putin trying to make him sound left wing. Why?
I absolutely do not, but being utterly intellectually dishonest you're going to keep repeating that.
Yogthos quite clearly is taking the stance that the Russian Federation is right-wing, but not far-right like the nationalist dominated Ukraine, which has increased the influence of neo-Nazi factions like Azov and upholds Stepan Bandera, a Nazi collaborating anti-Communist. This doesn't make Russia a Left-wing paradise, just not far-right like Ukraine.
Good way to use an ongoing genocide, to justify the deeds of your personal favorite imperial power.
I'm not justifying anything. I'm pointing out what actual attacks on civilians look like. There is zero evidence that Russia engages in systemic attacks on civilians in the war. In fact, civilian casualties in Ukraine are far lower than pretty much any modern war. Yet, here you are regurgitating propaganda for your favorite empire.
And there is plenty of evidence from fucking Amnesty (an unofficial arm of the UK government) that Ukraine overwhelmingly uses schools and hospitals to set up military equipment and host personnel.

Standard US-taught tactics. It's no coincidence that Israel accuses others of using human shields while doing the same thing as Ukraine: using civilian infrastructure to launch military operations.
exactly
Ah the whataboutism. When you lost the argument, you try to change the subject.
Nah, I'm not changing any subject. I'm pointing out what it looks like when there are actual systemic attacks on civilians which aren't happening in Ukraine. Screeching whataboutism is the attempt to change the subject.
yeah but the lives of those outside the "blue hair and blonde eyes" classification are meaningless so... checkmate tankie!!
