Stupid Shit in Kyiv

[Golfinho]

I agree with you. America has no culture because it is beyond that. It is an idea. Let's look at how culture is defined.
I suggest a better way to characterize America (I. E. The US), is as an idea or ethos. Let's look at that definition..

"America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to decadence without the usual interval of civilization."

- G. Clemenceau (I. E. Some Frenchman).

The USA, "it is beyond that".

Americans are the biggest terrorists on the planet. American soldiers have committed unspeakable crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, raping children, killing entire families. The invasion of Iraq was an actual war crime, a crime against the peace, built on a tissue of lies, as was the destruction of Yugoslavia, Syria, Libya, etc etc either directly or through their puppets. You only have to read the be s here or in a few of the other stupid shit threads.

As regards the liberation of Mariupol, compare it to how the American vermin flattened Fallujah and Raqqa. Americans are the new Hitler's Willing Executioners. Ukraine is a mess because of America and Victoria Fuck the EU Nuland.

Thanks to your suck-buddy Putin, American troops are going to be all over Europe soon, even more (tens and maybe hundreds of thousands) than they already are. Also, with the Euro-Dollar exchange rate nearly at parity, they'll be visiting FKKs, and massage places, and brothels, and hanging out with every kind of working girl in a major way. And business owners, desperate for a share of those American dollars, will be opening up Coca Cola and burger joints like crazy!

Feel free to share your neighborhood Post Code and I'll make sure to pass along an expedited request for American-style establishments in your area.

And, and, and, you know what's abso-fucking-lutely hilarious? None of this would have happened except for Russia's imbecilic invasion of Ukraine. Next time you speak to Little Vlad, be sure to give him my thanks for guaranteeing decades of NATO and American dominance! And, when your poor, apoplectic self is searching for someone to blame, just look toward those red brick towers in the East.

Barbarians at the gate! ROTFLMAO!

You were going well until you fucked up. Gallia in tres pars divisus est, Gaul is divided into three parts and so should your post have been.

1. USA has no culture beyond song and dance trash and Epstein.

2. America is not an idea. Americans have no ideas beyond a hamburger (Think Hamburg). I will grant you "small town America Football Friday nights a culture" but that now is mostly Matt Damon Hollywood shit.

3. The American dream. Fuck that shit. Let's trade nukes.

Of all the very many Americans I have met and worked with, I have respect for less than 1% of them and I am far from unique in that. Of that 1%, I have a lot of respect for them. But the perverts who post pics of their cum on the Philippines board, give me a break.

I've just spent a less than enjoyable month in Northern Finland, salmon fishing on the Teno River. And sharing my experiences with wolverines and brown bears made my holiday less than perfect (though the salmon were perfect, God bless Arctic warfare). Let's just say Finnish hospitals are expensive; be insured. Another week or so and I should be recovered. In the meantime, God Bles Russia.

I agree with you. America has no culture because it is beyond that. It is an idea. Let's look at how culture is defined.

Culture: the arts, customs, lifestyles, background, and habits that characterize a particular society or nation.

- The US is a melting pot of different customs, backgrounds, etc. Nothing clearly sticks out as out 'culture' at this point unless you can consider consumerism, grilling, solo cup keggers, and small town America Football Friday nights a culture (actually the last two are unique!).

I suggest a better way to characterize America (I. E. The US), is as an idea or ethos. Let's look at that definition.

Ethos: the character or fundamental values of a person, people, culture, or movement.

[Golfinho]

Your collective comments are not worth reading because you are American and, as you show, ignorant and you think your armed might makes you right.
On the positive side, the surrender of your Nazis in Mariupol continues. A surrender not an evacuation as your fake media call it. I'd ask you to enjoy the Cannes film festival but that idiot Zelensky is all over it, trying to fry European brains to make them as mushy as what passes for American

On another positive side, the Russian movie "Tchaykovsky's wife" will compete for the Palm the'or at Cannes.

Looks like some cracks in the NATO.

America has no culture, bar song and dance, Silicone Valley, Johnny Depp and snorting coke. The major sources of Western culture are all in Western Europe. Yours is the culture of Gladiator, blood and dildoes.

- This has more resonance. When immigrants think of America, they think of opportunity, which is core to our ethos. The American Dream is the national ethos of the United States, the set of ideals (democracy, rights, liberty, individualism, entrepreneurship, opportunity and equality) in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, as well as an upward social mobility for the family and children, achieved through hard work in a society with few barriers (or less than other countries at any rate).

- Now, the US is FAR, FAR from perfect, but if you are a hard worker and want a leveler playing ground than virtually any other place than the world you should come here.

It's about 60 km f.

Azovstal is over.

Moscow, May 20. / TASS /. https://tass.ru/armiya-i-opk/14689499.

"Russian Defense Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the completion of the operation and the complete liberation of the Azovstal plant and Mariupol from Ukrainian militants.

This was announced on Friday by the official representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Major General Igor Konashenkov. "On the completion of the operation and the complete liberation of the plant and the city of Mariupol from Ukrainian militants, Russian Defense Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin," Konashenkov said. According to him, the territory of the plant, where a group of Ukrainian militants of the Nazi formation "Azov" has been blocked since April 21, has been completely liberated.

More than 500 militants from the factory as part of the last group surrendered on Friday. "Today, May 20, the last group of 531 militants surrendered," Konashenkov said.

"The so-called "commander" of the Nazis" Azov "because of the hatred of the Mariupol residents and the desire of the townspeople to punish him for numerous atrocities, was taken out of the territory of the plant in a special armored car," the Russian Defense Ministry said.

According to Konashenkov, the underground facilities of the enterprise, in which the militants hid, came under the full control of the RF Armed Forces.

"In total, since May 16 of this year, during the operation, 2,439 Azov Nazis and servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, blocked on the territory of the plant, laid down their arms and surrendered," said a representative of the Russian Defense Ministry."

Now, the Ukronazis can get back to winning the war are finishing off the rebellion.

It's a....

Just a message of appreciation. I have enjoyed reading your blogging here, and many of the links you have been sharing have been extremely insightful. So much so, that I'm actually ok with Comrade Morales deranged ravings, since it prompts another superb rebuttal from yourself with good sources and reading materials.

[Paulie97]

I knew someone would introduce the often repeated but not entirely thought through bad history of the USA-Mexican border.

The few Mexicans that lived in California, New Mexico and Texas didn't give a shit about the ineffective dictatorship in Mexico. The Mexicans in Texas fought Santa Anna. They are buried at the Alamo and other battle sites.

Now if you want to bring up the Native-Americans, they got screwed by European settlement. That was the age of conquest and about that time Russia was invading the Eastern lands inhabited by the Tatars and other peoples.

I suppose you can try to make a 21st century case that Tzarina Catherine the Great conquered the Ukraine in the 1700's. Thereby, Russia has a right to claim the Ukrainian's deference and obedience for all eternity.

Whataboutism is the only refuge at the moment for the Russophiles and / or America haters among us, in ISG, and even within the borders of the US. In this case the whatabouts go back centuries. It's all a debate fallacy, or a take on the ad hominem called the tu quoque fallacy while the topic of discussion is entirely avoided.

So then do you secretly enjoy it when terrorists attack america? In your mind is it justified?

You are a malign force in the world, nothing to offer but sexual diseases, Coca Cola and porn.

The great thing is you can pour Coca-Cola on any STD and kill it. As far as porn, I have a penchant for watching the natural beauties from Eastern Europe especially the girls from Russia and the Ukraine.

Russian Loren Strawberry is very nice.

I am only replying to your note here as the others are too long winded and pompous to bother with. They do, however, show what imperialist pigs Americans are, a truly vile bunch of rejects, who are now trying to beg for oil from Venezuela, a country they ruined.

As regards a clown going on about my English, one of several languages I speak as a second tongue, I cannot edit posts here as American perverts in the Philippines board got me moderated for using the word skank to describe, well, skanks. They too show the same ignorant arrogance.

Don't let your loud mouths and loud Hawaii t shirts fool you. You are loathed by those who have not dumbed down.

Your collective comments are not worth reading because you are American and, as you show, ignorant and you think your armed might makes you right. The Nazis thought the same and the Red Army, who defeated them, hated them for it. You are a malign force in the world, nothing to offer but sexual diseases, Coca Cola and porn.

Go check out the American politics thread to see how vacuous you all are. It should really have shit tagged on to the title.

I cannot think of anything more generically repulsive than Americans.

Losers. Hookers should charge an American / lard excess free for dealing with you lot.

It's about 60 km from the border and an easy day trip from the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don. And yet, here we are at nearly three months into the war and the legendary (in their own minds) Russian army is STILL not in complete control.

Maybe you should check in with your Russkiy overlords because there's a high level of dissatisfaction and disgust among Russian bloggers and commentators that the "special operation" has taken so long and accomplished so little, especially where Mariupol is concerned.

Meanwhile, Russian troops have turned tail and run like scared rabbits away from Kyiv, and now the same is happening around Kharkhiv. In fact Russia is performing so badly that even on Russian state television the negative comments are starting (video length = 1 min 32 sec, English subs):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF6TXAIe1tc

Since media messaging in Russia is tightly controlled, and since this commentator hasn't been tossed in jail, it's logical to conclude that the Kremlin wants to shape their messaging to include the possibility of less than optimal results, which is simply a euphemism for defeat.

BTW, the commentator warns against the dangers of "informational tranquilisers," so I'm guessing he had you, and your ilk, in mind.

P.S. Keep hitting your head against the brick wall of the US with your anti-American screeds. We don't even notice, unless it's to laugh at your own blood streaming down your face. Putin has guaranteed that the US will be ascendant for decades to come, while Russia spirals downward into an abyss of their own making.

P. P.S. One great thing Russia has gotten from this war is a killer (pun intended) motto. How does "Remember the Moskva!" sound? Pretty good, I think. But feel free to come up with another one, whatever floats your boat.

This is an interesting thread if we don't count a few idiots, useful and otherwise, LOL.

However, please consider that with all this historical and cultural diggings you might unnecessarily complicate things. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and old-fashioned colonialism is also just that. Colonialism.

Yes, Russia feels that it's entitled to Ukraine. And yes, it hurts the collective Russian psyche that after all these years, Ukraine doesn't want to do anything with them anymore. But there is more to this insanity.

1. After the comparatively painless dissolution of the USSR, Russia is the last colonial power on Earth. Losing colonies is never easy (remember France clinging to Alger merely 50 years ago). Russia's pain from the USSR dissolution was dulled by the fact that most of CIS countries remained Russia's clients states. Ukraine is very different.

2. Russia lives and breathes in terms of geopolitics. It wants to be physically surrounded by satellites that would provide a natural shield to Russia proper. Russia has never been interested in far away colonies in Africa, South East Asia or the Americas. It wants its vassals to be close.

3. Letting Ukraine depart Russia's "sphere of influence" is a huge domestic problem as well. A strong, prosperous, democratic and independent Ukraine is a direct threat to Putin's absolute power. It's too close.

4. Finally, Putin has devolved (evolved?) from a thieving tyrant into a madman. Because one can't not be a madman to start this war.
