    The war in Ukraine is still anyone’s game, but those repeating Russian talking points never change their tack.

      Seems like everything is a Russian talking point unless it is total victory and unlimited military aid for Ukraine.

      Pretty limiting.

        My brother in Christ, the comment you’re responding to literally says “the war in Ukraine is still anyone’s game.” How do you read that and come to the conclusion that OP considers everything except total victory for Ukraine to be a Russian talking point?

            Oh it is always you with these. Hey I will freely admit I should pay more attention to who people are because Lemmy is small enough. Acting all big city in a small town like an ass.

            Could save some heartache all round.

          I really don’t think bringing up, let alone discussing, Ukrainian defeat would be responded to less harshly.

          That’d be the clown face’s final form wouldn’t it?

            I think it’s more likely some sort of logical fallacy. If I said, “Seems like everything is Chinese propaganda except for talk of reduced inflation and the economy doing better” it would mean discussion of lower unemployment, or an American fashion trend, or the President’s dog, are all automatically Chinese propaganda, when they’re either neutral or positive stories on unrelated matters.

            So you’ve established unreasonable requirements for the discussion, and a false absolutism.

              Well that is what I am trying to identify here: It doesn’t seem like there are reasonable requirements for discussion on the war in Ukraine. The immediate “Fuck off, Tankie” response is pretty ubiquitous. Where does one even begin?

              Albeit, soyjacks are never a great foundation for discussion, so that is on me, sure. I don’t think this was a call for discussion, more the opposite. So successful bait I guess.

            No, just the kind of concern trolling you pull everywhere you go, conveniently always in defense of popular tankie positions. So kindly fuck off.
