    One was put in place by nato after they realized they couldn’t just carve it up

    Oh my sides I dare you to say that in Russia. Bring a stopwatch so you can time how long it takes for you to arrive in a prison camp in Siberia. The FSB doesn’t suffer that kind of talk, “Russia is controlled by its enemies” (from their POV. In reality Russia has exactly one enemy: Itself).

    this absolutely avoidable

    Absolutely avoidable, true: Russia could stop being imperialist and, for a change, and harkening back to Lenin’s times, focus on developing itself. Like Ukraine did. Which is why the Siloviki in Russia can’t have that happen, it sets a bad precedent for a culturally related people to gets its shit in order, people actually getting what they want, being better off, all that kind of stuff.

      Okay first things first, I never said Russia was controlled by its enemies, second:

      This isn’t about my views on geopolitics, it’s about ohs you need to stop defending Nazis. Do that and we can have a wide ranging conversation about any number of topics.

      But first, stop defending Nazis!

        Explain that to the FSB officer.

        I never defended Nazis, and you have yet to make an argument that doesn’t bog down to “I hate that /u/barsoap is right about symbols”. It’s you who’s trivialising the term.

          I’m not trivializing anything.

          You are saying that azov battalion using the wolfsangel is not a nazi symbol.

          It’s a defense of Nazis because you’re providing cover for the spread of their ideology. You need to stop defending Nazis.
