  • a far-right extremist isurgency, especially in an area with a not exactly exclusivly loyal and easily infiltrated population would indeed be quite the conundrum for russia to deal with, propably even moreso than a state army. terrorist death cults have proven themselves quite effective for the west (see syria), which is precisly why it has been supporting caucasus emirate, as well those o9a weirdos. some people were also speculating, that these odd raids into bryansk and belgorod oblasts by the rdk back in 2023 were also concieved to establish bases of operations for a planned pro-western nazi insurgency, though i remain quite sceptical of that theory, imho it was just pr.

    you are indeed quite correct about capitalist class interest preventing the russian government from taking the most rational approach to the conflict.


  • “comprador porkies” and “nationalist porkies” arent actually two distinct groups opposed to each other. when it comes down to it, capital doesnt have any kind of loyalty towards any nation, religion, culture or other grouping besides itself as a class. what people may as a “nationalist capitalist” is simply a bourgeois who profits from acting that way, a comprador capitalist is much of the same. and very often they are the same person, as one may see with most if not all of the russian “nationalist” ruling class having been best friends with the west in the 90s

    and no, russia does NOT profit from civilizational collapse in a country right next door. societal disintigration of this sort is what lead to this whole situation in ukraine in the first place, with the tyranny of the kiev régime being a far cry from the centralized state-led terror of the third reich, instead taking the more decentral, “privatized” approach of the modern alt-right (i remember some pro-russian liberal commentator dubbing it “anarchical totalitarianism”). any extremist insurgent group that would inevitably emerge from a collapse would immediatly seep through the incredibly porous border into the new territories and beyond. daesh didnt exactly stay in iraq, now did it?

    the goal of war is to achieve your aims, not to sow needless misery and instability by chasing some idealist conception of an honerable victory.






  • my man, you talk about russia getting “infiltrated” by porkies as if those were somehow an external entity. the russian government is a liberal capitalist government operating on liberal capitalist logic. denazification and demilitarization are its goals because those militant nazis happen to pose a threat to the interests of the russian bourgeoisie, to which it is ultimatly beholden. it just so happens that said interests temporarily converge with those of the global proletariat and thus are historically progressive.

    also, what would bombing the ministry accomplish beyond further galvanizing western support for the ukrainian régime?and what will striking official recruitment centres achieve? not only would such a strategy be easily mitigated by ukraine providing russia with falsified intelligence, leading to it targeting decoy locations, recruitment would simply shift to a unregulated and undocumented underground model, a process supposedly already underway. groups like daesh, nusra and shabaab have proven that forced recruitment remains possible even under the most difficult conditions.


  • you accusing someone from the actual region of being genocidal. lol, lmao even.

    the killing of soldiers in a war is not an act of genocide. and besides, the crimes of the ukrop nazis are on their own conscience, not on the one of the russian leadership or military. the latters actions are indeed explicitly geared towards the liberation of the common ukrainian from the hoholfash régime, with russia having done everything in its power to mitigate the tragic byproducts that we now see with the war by repeatedly insisting on trying to find a political avenue to achieve its goals, even if that meant compromizing its own objectives.

    now, as to your actual arguments in your original comment: firstly, what you are advocating for striking are civilian targets, making their targeting a war crime. this line of thinking is not only ethically horrendous, not to say rather odd given the sort of accusations youre ready to throw at others, but also just flawed strategally. this kind of shock and awe approach of trading the guarantee of quick and flashy victories for having to fight a grueling and borderline unwinnable insurgency by sowing wind while failing to gain control over the instruments with which the enemy will force you to reap the storm, is exactly why the american war in afghanistan and the (imho actually genocidal) invasion of iraq failed. now imagine said insurgency taking place not across some ocean, but directly bordering you.

    compare that instead with post-1945 germany where there wasnt even the slightest whiff of a hitlerite uprising, despite the nazi state having produced no shortage of fanatics. why? because germanys fighting capacity was completely and utterly destroyed. virtually all of its military-aged male population was either dead, imprisoned or physically disabled, thus posing no threat. sadly, this is what demilitarization ultimatly looks like. yes, its a horrific picture, but all war is hell. the russian government has been trying everithing they could to avoid things coming to this by advocating for a political solution, but the west left them no choice. the crime is ultimatly the fault of washington not moscow.

    also, lightning fast advances are only possible if the enemy is sufficIiently weak. and as i said previously, one shouldnt underestimate ukraines military capabilities, what exactly did russias 2022 kiev offensive achieve?
