Since 2014 that same machine has run on one fuel, the lie that killing Ukrainians is heroic. A cheerful bear is just where the lesson begins. (2/2) @Gargron@mastodon.social @EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie

@Gargron@mastodon.social @EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie Netflix pays a Russian-tied studio, and part of that money lands in the same budget firing missiles at Ukraine. But the slower poison is the rest. Those holidays are not innocent celebrations. They are how Russia turns the army into something holy and dying for the state into something noble, planted in children before they are old enough to question it. (1/2)

It is the same script every time, and you are reciting it. 2014: Ukraine did not invade its own cities. Russia took Crimea first, then a Russian FSB officer, Igor Girkin, led the men who seized Sloviansk. Not my claim, his: “I’m the one who pulled the trigger of war.” Argue with him.

@admin@pleroma.cheese-project.ru @EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie @Gargron@mastodon.social Europe marks that day to mourn and say "never again" But ruzzia turned it into a missile parade meaning "we can repeat," then did it in Georgia, Syria, Ukraine. Same date, opposite point. But sure, keep telling me black is white.

@Gargron@mastodon.social @admin@pleroma.cheese-project.ru @EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie Asking the fish whether the water is wet. The target never sees the propaganda, that is the whole point.

@admin@pleroma.cheese-project.ru @EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie @Gargron@mastodon.social Sure, Kirill from RU domain :)

@Gargron@mastodon.social @EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie A cheerful Wehrmacht bear streaming worldwide in 1943. Would that one be fine too?

@Gargron@mastodon.social @admin@pleroma.cheese-project.ru @EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie "Thank you to the defenders!" "Victory day" Just a cartoon for children, sure

And spare me “it’s only a memorandum.” Firing missiles across Ukraine’s border breaks the UN Charter, full stop. Russia signed that paper to strip Ukraine of its nukes, then tore it up. You just told the whole thread Russia’s signature is worthless. Thanks for making my point. (3/3) @admin@pleroma.cheese-project.ru @Gargron@mastodon.social @EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie

@admin@pleroma.cheese-project.ru @Gargron@mastodon.social @EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie You said you can’t trust a country that breaks agreements. Look up Budapest 1994.

@admin@pleroma.cheese-project.ru @Gargron@mastodon.social @EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie You don’t cancel elections when you can just rig them. Ask the man who has run Russia for 25 years while his rivals keep dying in prison.

@admin@pleroma.cheese-project.ru @Gargron@mastodon.social @EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie You asked where you were wrong on Georgia. Everywhere. It was not the UN, it was the EU’s Tagliavini report, so you cannot even name the right body. And that report says Russia spent years handing out passports and arming the separatists, then rolled into Georgia proper in a response it calls disproportionate. Manufacture the excuse, then “defend.” (1/3)

@admin@pleroma.cheese-project.ru @Gargron@mastodon.social @EugeneMcParland@mastodon.ie Your grandfather’s war ended in 1945. Masha teaches kids it never has to. That is not remembering him, it is using him.
