Nationalism and racism are not synonyms. A nationalist *can* be a racist - and many times they are - but it's not a required component to be a nationalist despite what pop media culture has (incorrectly) spread.

Conversely, one can be racist and support 'internationalism' (as opposed to nationalism); plenty of well known figures were, such as Karl Marx and Lenin.

And I hope I don't have to point out the obvious fact that anyone can be racist. A racist mentality is not dependent upon one type of skin color...
Again, China, Japan, various S. African political parties and even the drug cartels serve as prime examples of this too (i.e. overt racism).

Anyway, carry on ladies and gents. Interesting convos at hand.

If you have been following this invasion from February last year, you would know that we have discussed, pointed out & gone over these issues many, many times, & at great length, I might add, so thanks for sharing what we already know.
If you care to go to the discussion thread & look back at these topics, plz do so, as you will find a wide range of opinions about this to satisfy your appetite.

Thanks & Yes, I am quite aware of that BUT there's always an element of Division in the ranks & if exploited, you can make these factors work in your favor & leave at a suitable time.

Who would have thought few years ago that Russia is going down this dark road and becoming an absolute nazi state? That all media will be banned. That all dissenting opinions will be punished with beatings, fines and jail time. That once again, just like during the Stalin times, the best and smartest people are purged from Russia.
Crazy how suddenly things can change. Even worse, the "snitching" habit is back. These people who are jailed for having dissenting opinions are ratted out by their neighbors. That shit-fuck teacher could have just put that picture in the trash with all the other student works and it would have been the end of it. But nope...ratting for the win.

UA soldiers stop a woman with her baby for allegedly violating traffic rules. After hearing her speak Russian & finding out she is a Muslim, the "brave" Ukrainian: shouts at, threatens, insults her, calls her "pig", scares her baby, fires several shots.

Grandpa Prigozh visited Artyomovsk, school number 5, which is located 130m from Ukrainian positions. Closest visit to front line so far.

I was hoping you'd post this as it's an obvious fake. Thank you for digging your hole deeper

Some curious residents of Donyetsk City/Makiivka area (Russian controlled) got curious, took a drive and found that area apparently: 47.9769473, 37.9534718

Even the Ukrainian journalist Anatoly Shariy (accused of treason sought out by Ukraine SBU for Russian ties) thinks this is bullshit. But he may have been wrong to say the place can't be located - looks like it was.
