US Senator Lindsay Graham has just tweeted an article titled “Greta Thunberg sets sail with Gaza flotilla that aims to break Israeli naval blockade,” adding the comment, “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!”
Australian Zionist think tanker Arsen Ostrovsky somehow outdid Graham, tweeting “Oh look, the little jihadi Greta Thunberg is trying to get into Gaza, to show solidarity with Hamas. It would be so sad if something were to happen to her flotilla…”
There’s not a lot that can shock me about Israel and its supporters these days. But if you’d traveled back in time a few years ago it would be hard to explain to someone how we got to a timeline that includes Israel supporters openly advocating the assassination of Greta Thunberg.
“That wouldn’t meet the definition of genocide, no.”
It literally does. Or do you suggest it would only be genocide if they abducted Flemish kids?
“Haha. Imagine seriously using the word ‘dictator’.”
So you are fine with dictatorship.
“Also, Lenin and other Bolsheviks’ efforts massively improved living conditions of people in the former Russian Empire, including in Ukraine.”
Doesn’t make dictatorship ok. Also, you are missing certain details such as Lysenkoism, forced internal population transfers, purges, the Gulag and the Holodomor.
“Also, imagine not having issues with Bandera, an enthusiastic nazi collaborator and Hitler’s pen pal.”
Maybe if Russia stopped threatening neighbouring countries, these countries would stop reaching towards fascist war criminals in their past for inspiration.
“You are literally trying to manufacture consent for deploying NATO weapons and bars near Russia to resubjugate it (or, rather, to resubjugate it further).”
Citation needed. Which NATO weapons? Which bars (I assume you mean bases?)? What evidence do you have that they want to subjugate Russia?
It literally does not. In your example, the children are not being killed, including by imposition of conditions calculated to bring about their destruction.
The word ‘dictatorship’ does not mean anything.
If you want to argue otherwise, please, provide a definition. If it isn’t just your own definition, then also provide a citation.
Well, the word ‘dictatorship’ doesn’t mean anything. You are always going to engage in goalpost movement whenever cornered.
Check the date of Lenin’s death, then check when Lysenko became relevant.
Also, pretty sure nobody is going to support Lysenko here. That was a mistake.
But hey, speaking of imposing weird bans on scientists, I’m going to remind you how your empire has been banning Russian scientists and engineers. You seem to be fine with that.
Your empire engaging in a forced population transfer has been highly publicised for the past one and a half years or so. (Mind you, Ukraine has provided assistance with that, as well.) You seem to be very fine with that.
Not well informed enough about that, but I doubt that you are, either. Still not nearly as bad as what your empire was doing at the time, and not as bad as what it has been doing.
And that was worse than your prisons why, exactly?
Haha.
Historians who specialise on the famine disagree with you. There was no intention there, and the USSR both took effort to prevent it, and to stop it once it started.
Meanwhile, your empire has deliberately caused famines, including in Ireland and in India.
If you want to blame the USSR for all disasters happening on its territory, then, by applying the same standards to your empire, we can conclude that the USSR is much better in that regard.
Also, none of those things happened under Lenin. Literally check the dates.
Notably, the vast majority of Russia’s neighbours have been doing fine.
But also, good to know that you think that fascism is okay when you do it (if it was about being threatened, you wouldn’t even try calling Russia ‘fascist’, as NATO threatening Russia would give it justification by your own standards).
Like, for example, literally the ones being used by NATO’s proxy in this war.
I did mean ‘bases’. I blame gesture input.
I recommend you google ‘NATO military bases’ or ‘US military bases’ or ‘US military presence around the world’.
Literally what NATO has been doing to the rest of the world.
What evidence do you have for NATO not trying to do what it has been doing throughout its existence in this particular case by deploying weapons close to Russia’s most populated areas and committing terrorist attacks and after having destroyed Russia’s economy and killing millions of people in Russia in the 90s?
