      (Reminder that the Donbas is majority ethnic Russian and has been fighting for independence from Ukraine since 2014, which resulted in them being bombed by their own government.)

        Yeah when you raise a militia with the help of another country and shoot at the government it tends to shoot back.

          Oh look, another Democrat cheering on war crimes.

          Ukrainian government forces used cluster munitions in populated areas in Donetsk city in early October 2014, Human Rights Watch said today. The use of cluster munitions in populated areas violates the laws of war due to the indiscriminate nature of the weapon and may amount to war crimes.

            This is another joke right? Russia has infamously been leveling towns to take territory, specifically targeting civilian shelters, and been caught torturing civilians.

                How much are you being paid? Because this whole sub should be called /c/FreeBlowjobsForBiden.

                And I don’t know what you think the Irish Republican Army has to do with anything.

                  And I don’t know what you think the Irish Republican Army has to do with anything.

                  The Internet Research Agency, known in Russian Internet slang as the Trolls from Olgino or Kremlinbots, was a Russian company which was engaged in online propaganda and influence operations on behalf of Russian business and political interests. It was linked to Yevgeny Prigozhin, a former Russian oligarch who was leader of the Wagner Group, and based in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

                  But I have a feeling you’re just playing dumb.

                    I’m just tired of dealing with the onslaught of abuse in this thread.

                    And that’s not something you should be proud of.
