NBC reported explosions in Kyiv apparently :/
Edit: yeah they’re attacking Kyiv. They might not push ground forces all the way there and might be taking out strategic targets, but still. Bad times ahead.
I’m honestly shocked and feel hubristic for not thinking that Putin would do this.
Putin is legitimately not good, makes Assad look great by comparison.
But there’s weird Putin praise in a ton of leftist circles because he takes anti imperialist stances out of necessity.
There’s also shit like “wel the Russian nazi forces aren’t as important because they are bad at fighting” which is one weird fucking cope . As is ignoring all the weird ass shit Putin said about Ukrainians not being real.
Both sides have nazis, Russia seems to have them more actively being used (the far right alliance has what 5% support this week during polling in Ukraine?)
Both have nazis
Both are fucking gross
War is gross
I really was hoping it wouldn’t come to this
FUCK
I mean the Russian PMC Nazis are terrible at fighting, but they also committed regular warcrimes in Mozambique. They’re definitely are important in a bad way. It’s the Nazis in the actual Russian military that are the most concerning. But yeah, WW3 is just going to be some massive Nazi infighting I guess. Horrifying
