Almost 8 years ago on the 2nd of June 2014 the Ukrainian army bombed Lugansk.

And? Classic case of whataboutism and arguing from emotions. War is fucked up. No nation is 100% innocent. That doesn't mean Russia isn't guilty of intentionally shelling civilian areas and that they haven't caused more damage and are obviously doing it on purpose to demoralize Ukrainian citizens. Would you like me to pull up gore photos from Russians indiscriminately spraying civilian cars or hitting town squares with cruise missiles?

I think part of it is just that it's pretty normal in America to just Americanize everyone's name and most people are pretty easy going about it because there's so many ethnicities here most people aren't going to take the time to figure out how to pronounce each one and are just like "lol, I can't pronounce that, sorry"

It comes off dumb when YTers who like to pretend they're a news source do it though. If you can't be bothered to take 5 minutes to look up phonetic pronunciation then why should anyone trust any of your other "research"

That said, English speakers have an extremely hard time with slavic phonetics and even if you show them how something is pronounced in the simplest terms they literally can't get their mouths to cooperate to actually say them.
Sounds about right. Most Americans aren’t even aware there are two ways to pronounce “L” even though they do it naturally. Sometimes to improve your accent just a little bit when speaking German, swap the dark “L” for light “L”.
Anyway- Ain’t nobody got time to “research” aka listen to a creepy disembodied voice whisper Slavic shit through their speakers so they can sound good on TikTok for an audience that wouldn’t notice either way.

No, I want to point out that this shit is happening since 2014 and it seems that a lot of people don't know/care. The same people who are now
crying out loud about Putler.
14000-16000 people died since 2014 by Ukrainian shells, mostly AZOV / AIDAR. It might give some extra context of what is happening now and why
most people think that not too many of AZOV / AIDAR will be captured alive.
 
A Chechen unit has allegedly captured Mariupol’s steel mill (celebrating with the obligatory Allah Akbar).
I’m too retarded to know what it may mean on a strategical level.
it means chechens have captured a single large building in mariupol that may have been occupied and are celebrating they didn't end up like the first kadyrov convoy.

To those who want to praise Zelensky, just remember that actors and whores are the least honest creatures in the world.
Here is a video with Zelensky in Gorlovka, 2014. (DPR)
"We are one people with the Russians."
He refers to Donbass as "homeland" and applauds local militia for capturing tanks.
 
Can people posting videos please include 3 important pieces of information with it: the date it is claimed to have been taken, the location it is reported to have been taken and the provenance of it. Then we at least have the bare minimum required to judge its informational value and how significant the information is.

It's funny how you can just throw random statistics around without having to prove anything. Phrasing it as "14-16K 'people'" as a way to not mention how many of them were combatants is convenient for you I imagine, and convenient for whatever bogus source you pulled those numbers straight out of your ass from.

The only reason you would even attempt to bring up supposed "Ukrainian atrocities" is because you're trying to make it look like Russia is less egregious than it actually is in this war, which is deplorable in and of itself. You can sit here and go "I"m just stating facts!" but we all know why you're actually bringing up these topics.

If you want unnuanced good vs evil go back to consoooming marvel cookie cutter bullshit.

Here's a hot take for you: both sides suck and have been doing all sorts of dodgy shit. The Ukrainian military announced its intention to commit warcrimes on its verified Facebook. They aren't some super amazing good guys and no amount of Russian atrocities makes the Ukrainian ones any better (or vice versa).

We are in a time line where I'm almost certain that Kadyrov's candidacy for Putin's secession is still on the table, along with many other cunts. Which will lead to Caliphate of Moscow. Pretty sure that Moscow's big wigs are very much against it, but we are proven again and again that we know fuck all about what can happen tomorrow and what is going on right now.
Some Chechen battle and usual PR footage.

Source? Evidence?

I doubt caliphate of moscow would go over well for a country that has vaunted a hardline christian orthodoxy, it would cause revolt.

Sometimes a cigar is a fucking cigar. You're the kind of person who would go "but what about the Allies bombing civilian targets?" in WW2 to attempt to construe this idea that either side was as guilty as the other. The Axis powers were still the more evil of the two entities by a country mile. This isn't about me thinking the world is "good versus evil", this is about calling out retards like you who think you're somehow clever or more informed because you have a contrarian position supported by little scraps of factoids.
