    Do you deny the genocide being carried out by Russia?

      I’m in no position to confirm or deny such a thing right now, with the fog of war still so thick. It depends on 1) what has actually occurred vs what Western war propaganda claims has occurred[1], and 2) which of the various narrow-to-broad definitions of genocide one deploys. When everyone is blaming everyone else of genocide while Gazans are literally being intentionally snuffed out, casual accusations ring a bit hollow.

      It’s funny how in Feb. of 2022, Western corporate media suddenly memory-holed their own reporting on eight years of Ukrainian government-backed fascist Banderite paramilitary attacks on eastern Ukrainians, and flipped the ethnic cleansing narrative on its head virtually overnight.

        What’s funny, is how you post this crap and still refuse to answer weather or not you’re pro-Russia.

          I’ve made my position clear dozens of times, but go on.

            The words “yes” and “no” are both complete sentence. Feel free to use either one that best answers the question.

                Yeah… predictably, you refused to answer. And for future reference, if it’s of any favor to you, I, and I’m sure many others- do not read any of your little copypasta links. So save yourself the time and effort and just…

                Stop.

                Maybe you can better use that saved time and effort to “Rule 1” more people from . ml?

                  I […] do not read any of your little copypasta links.

                  And it seems you never cite a blessed thing, though it’s hard to say since you delete most of your comments for some reason 🤷

                    What’s there to cite? I’m not saying anything other than asking you if you’re pro-Russia, and allowing others to see how you always refuse to answer.
