that article is just click bait for jaded #NeverHillary leftists and "ah ha i told you so" fodder for Trumpites and white nationalists hence why i called bullshit

She didn't, like, kill a guy with her car for instance? Just as an example of no significance?

I mean, I'm not surprised really, but I was kind of hoping there would be more to it than the above. If only because it would mean the people I've spoken to about the issue weren't lunatics.

I'm not anti-Russia, but Putin is a terrifying presence in world politics, and this is due not only to the conduct of his soldiers and his alleged involvement in civilian slaughtering airstrikes in Syria, but also to the loyalty he inexplicably inspires both in Russia and in other parts of the world.

look I do not want to sound antiwestern again, but it will sound like it because I am going to be critical.

lets forget the fact that it wasn't Russians who invaded Iraq on a lie, lets forget that it wasn't Russians who invaded Lybia on a lie and Syria via proxy terrorist armies that are just fronts for the west (suchfriendsaredangerous is getting ready I can see it), but no, left and right now: it's the Russians. and I am not saying Putin is god's gift to the world, I am not saying everything Russia does it is perfect, but what is happening here, this demonitasion of Russia and this playing out the western powers that have created such a death and mayhem in the world year after year are somehow good guys in this John Wayne good guy, bad guy way of portraing the world is a nonsense and if we don't start to see it and start to call up those politicians for the nonsense they are talking then we are going to find ourself in another global conflict, purely through ignorance and buying the official story without the question.

but green light that is where you keepcfucking up and maybe its the Russian TV you said you see just like if you get info about US from mainstream American media its going to be equally slanted.

RUSSIA HAS ITS OWN HISTORY OF ILLEGAL FOREIGN INVASIONS, IN USING BLACK OPS TO INTERFERE WITH FOREIGN NATIONS, SELLS GUNS AND DRUGS IN RUSSIA AND AROUND THE WORLD, HAS A TOTALLY CORRUPTED GOVERNMENT THAT IS AN ALL OUT OLIGARCHY THAT MAKES AMERICANCORRUPTION LOOK TAME, HAS TOTALLY FRAUDULENT "ELECTIONS", AND IS OPPRESSIVE TO JOURNALISTS AND POLITICAL OPPOSITION WITHIN RUSSIA.

nothing to celebrate there

i totally understand you're being critical of the way western media and powers spin or exploit the problems with Russia to falsely aggrandize themselves while distracting people from how much their own shit actually stinks, but none of that somehow makes Putin and Russia'a shit stink any less even in comparison. shit is shit regardless of the optics

THIS!!

it's truly hilarious how many of the 90s political mud is being slung again today and indeed notice the Republicans are all cringing because THEY learned their political lessons about how much the nonsense in the 90s backfired against them

BUT this war in Syria isn't about Isis at all, i mean, shit, THERE ARE ONLY 20,000 isis militiamen in the region, certainly if any military there actually WANTED to destroy them they would all be dead by now.

Assad likes Isis its a convenient boogieman to scapegoat and blame. Russia likes Isis, it is fabulous propaganda opportunity

this is where I completly disagree.

while we are calling Russia and comparing them to nazis or fascist all is forgotten about the grotesque, unspeakable, mass killing of thousands of civilians by this Mr. and Ms. evil of geopolitics Britain, America and other Nato countries. it is not just right, it is so called progressives, so called left who are also supporting this ludacrisious blatantly made up and contrived narrative in terms of we must stop the Russians. well how come it was only when Russia came in that Isis and all this terrorist groups were pushed back across the Syria. it would not be done before, even though the Americans were bombing, the British were bombing and others were bombing and nothing was happening, the terrorist and Isis were closing closer and closer to Damascus. why? because they were not trying to stop them. this Isis and Al Nusra terrorist groups was being used as a proxy army to remove the Assad and then Russians comes in and do something about it and suddenly they are guilty of a war crimes. if they are guilty of a war crimes then what the heck is West guilty of..in Iraq, in Lybia, in Syria and elswhere?

suchfriends.....peace yeah?

also let me ask you this, if Russia and Assad were targeting Isis then how come in five years they haven't stopped Isis either?
what is hilarious is that you can't see how what Russia is doing in Ukraine and Syria is EXACTLY the very same things you criticize US for doing elsewhere.

and yeah, when Russia bombs civilians in Syria and when Russia targets Assad's domestic political opposition yeah certainly is a war crime. its a war crime if US was doing it, its a war crime if anyone is doing it. killing civilians is a no no. assassinating political opposition through military operations another no no

I guess what I want to say is not about being anti Western, what I want to point out is double standards, hypocrisy, propaganda and narrative from our side. do not know if you now what I want to say. for example we are talking about racism so much, but what about the racism of western countries continually one after the other bombing and destroying countries that are home to people overwhelmingly with brown faces. what about that racism? that imposition of the western will upon those countries, so that you can not have the leaders that we say you can not have, you must have who we say you must have. it is extraordinarily obvious racist imperialism which the British empire has being using for centuries and imposing on the world.

and now we have a situation where it got so laughable now, that the US state department's spokesman guy called John Kirby can be asked about mass killings of civilians and children in Yemen by Saudi Arabia armed by Britain and the US and he can say that is not the same what is happening in Syria with Russia. the narrative that everyone is pushing and the left and right are just following like sheep is that we demonize Russia because we want to go to war with them and we want to justify to go to war with them(?), but we also want Saudi Arabia to be bombing Yemen, so therefore it is not the same, coz one narrative suits us and the other narrative (it is not the same) suits us. fact is that what is happening in Syria and Yemen are equally same and that is what people who really care about justice and freedom and peace should be saying it, but they are not. people in power are not saying that. they are not seeing both of those things are the same. because one suits them and one doesn't. why?

+ why there is apparently som many contradictions in what these people say in different situations?

you are aware that Allepo is splitted in two parts, one hold by government and one by so called opposition who are shelling civilians and children too but it is not being mentioned in media at all.

I thought Russian military intervention in Syrian Civil War started in Sept. of 2015.

lets have a debate about Ukraine later (and not fight about different opinions on it)

the Syrian war has been since 2011, Syrian military has been supposedly fighting Isis since then, Russia provided military support before getting directly involved more recently. the point remains, if the war in Syria is supposedly about Isis, how come Syrian govt hasn't stopped Isis? more importantly, why does Syrian government expend so much military effort against non-Isis political targets?

see you insinuating America allowed Isis, that might very well be true, but that exact same logic suggests we need to have the same level of skepticism and scrutiny against Syrian government itself and its Russian ally

the narrative that everyone is pushing..

i agree with you there, hypocrisy is astounding, BUT then shouldnt we be critical all around?

me, i am critical of the hawks and corruption in US, Europe, Russia, China, Africa, South America.. whereever.. its the ISSUES that are important here, not the spin neither the optics

fundamentally the truth is that the west is as murderous as hell and we all know it but most dont want to or will do anything to deny it, but at least in the west those in power are not murdering each other so there is some kind of stability. but trump wants to throw his opponent in jail and tries to incite his supporters to murder her. trump is the one who crosses the line here and he is one of the worst pieces of shit in our entire political history. i mean this man really is a contemptible piece of utter trash - a criminal and a liar and a user of humans. he really is a piece of utter fucking shit and he strains the limits of any sane persons tolerance to put it mildly.

btw in the west we can at least just about point out the murderousness of our own society in some spaces such as this one without getting murdered ourselves. i mean we all know we'll be censored/shouted down etc. if we do it in public or people will have a competition to see how they can shut us up with sneering nihilist indifference - like daring us to point out more corruption and responding that they know but don't care and hate us more for irrational reasons.

the appeal of trump is also a kind of burn out fatigue with liberalism which has to oscilliate back a bit because its universal aspirations are just not credible for a society that is fighting multiple wars and an existential threat from isis. all this mostly bs talk about "political correctness" like if we called muslims out more then the situation would somehow be less volatile - its mostly being made by idiots, racists and fantasists who think magic trump will solve their problems by calling things by their proper names. dipshits.

but the regressive left is definitely real and isis doesnt care about your safe space and in fact the immigrants who join it get on a basic level that anti racists libs want to treat them as kids with no agency because anti racists are mostly just as hostile to the existence of the other as racists - only they want to erase it like the borg rather than erase it in concentration camps.

but hilary wanted to drone assange and bragged about having gaddafi killed.

i thought we at least PRETENDED we were better than that? no? not anymore?

my thinking is that in advanced technological societies the means to murder becomes so detached from direct bodily experience that ethics becomes a kind of derealized farce to a certain extent. we are enticed by this and want to master it and its exhilarating and terrifying because it really threatens to sever any basis for a moral obligation to the other. or so we hope. corruption gets punished in the end.

its chaos for sure.
