If I have any followers from these countries... "congrats" on being on the russian fascist side, I guess. Don't complain when russians then invade you (as they keep saying on their own media) after slaughtering us.

The add includes the line “Let’s clean ourselves of compulsory Ukrainian Nazism” (not my translation) and links having a Ukrainian name to nazism. And yet people are still debating on Ruzzia’s intent for this war and what they mean by “denazification” (hint: it has nothing to do with nazis)

"1.6 million Ukrainians have been forcibly deported to Russia by the Russian Army. They go through “filtration camps” where families are often separated and then sent as far as Siberia. Those found disloyal to Russia are imprisoned, tortured, and often summarily executed. Over 5 million Ukrainians have also voluntarily fled into Europe, and 7 million are internally displaced in Ukraine."

On the night of November 3, Russia launched a massive attack on Kharkiv and its suburbs: at least 10 Russian drones struck civilian infrastructure.

According to preliminary data, there are no injured people. Doctors diagnosed three local residents with an acute reaction to stress

Elon Musk has taken tons of money from the government, but it’s somehow different when Ukraine is quite literally fighting for its very existence and trying to eject imperialist Russia, who invaded their country unprovoked?? Mannn, GTFOHWTBS.

Also, Elon Musk can go fuck himself 🖕🏿

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are having a dome shining contest on Vladimir Putin’s dick

Today, on 23rd of August 1989 at 7pm Eastern European Summer Time, about 2 million Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians formed a 600 kilometer long human chain that started from Tallinn, Estonia and ended in Vilnius, Lithuania to peacefully demand freedom that was forcefully robbed from them by Soviet Union because of the secret protocol that was part of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.

People brought out their national flags decorated with black ribbons and lit candles to remember those who were brutally murdered by communist regime -  Forest brothers, political prisoners and people who were sent to Siberia.

If your revolution can't survive unless you institute single-party rule, engage in mass censorship of the media, use state violence and show trials to suppress dissent, and use a secret police to root out suspected dissidents, your revolution is functionally just another coup and does nothing to actually liberate the people you claim to be fighting for

btw, the molotov cocktail got named that by Finns who used them when fighting back against the Soviet Union’s imperialist invasion of their country, as a mocking reference to Vyacheslav Molotov’s propaganda about said invasion (“we’re not bombing them, we’re just flying in food deliveries because they’re starving!”)

so i’m not gonna stop y'all from making molotov cocktail jokes, but you’d better not turn around and post soviet apologia afterwards. respect the cocktail’s history
