Moscow takes its tactic of hitting cities and suppressing Ukraine's population to a deadly new level.

Homes, a maternity hospital, a shopping center, and a metro station were hit as part of the attacks. The attack may have been linked to the destruction of a Russian landing ship in Crimea.

    Why should the people in those territories that pled for help against the coup government that was slaughtering them for 8 years not be allowed self determination?

    And also as an anarchist I don’t believe in any legitimacy of either state, but if the people there feel safer under the protection of the Russian federation against the clearly Nazi captured Ukraine government, who am I to tell them what to do?

    You talk of Russia trying to install a puppet government but the US SUCCESSFULLY installed a puppet government run by Nazis in 2014.

        A government run by Nazis headed by a Jew.

        This is up there with “America elected a black president so racism is over.”

        Oh dang we left the door open and a LIB wandered in. Poor little fella.

        It may be helpful for you to consider this piece covering the long running problem with the far right that Ukraine has been dealing with. A cursory search would show you that this is a problem reputable news agencies have been documenting for years before the current war.

          Liberal, proud of it. I’m aware of the problems Ukraine has had with its far-right. That doesn’t make it a “Nazi government”. Speaking of, are you aware of the problems that Russia has with its far right? Or is only a problem when it’s Ukraine?

            Okay sweet so you’re aware of the role they’re playing in the current government then. Not sure why you found that idea objectionable a minute ago but whatever.

            And yes I’m aware, not a big Putler fan here. It’s too bad the left is so weak in the former Soviet nations.

            Personally I just hope a peace can be negotiated soon to save lives.
