( ・-・) Proper Hitler comparisons are done by Russian media towards Ukrainian nationalists. It's a big issue in Eastern Europe with some ex-USSR (now EU) countries where nationalist movements rose to power. They only embarrass EU by whitewashing Nazism and WWII criminals. They should be just expelled for that, really.
You see, these little countries that spent most of their history under somebody else's rule strive to have those "national icons" to show how deep, proud and independent are their roots. Emokids, basically.
>>528
It's probably because they feel wishy-washy themselves about war, yo. They expect the US to do all the heavy-lifting for them. And of course, how do you expect them to feed you nationalistic propaganda, when joining the EU is inherently anti-nationalistic?

During the "collectivization of the kulaks" during the 1930s, the USSR killed between ten and thirty million Ukrainians--about 25% of of the nation's population. I am not sure how one can reasonably expect the descendants of the survivors to just forget about it--even if the Azarov regime attempts to ban public discussion of the topic and teach denial of the Holodomor in Ukrainian public schools--and welcome a return to Russian rule. This would be a bit like expecting the Chinese to silently accept a foreign dictator whom all knew to be a Japanese puppet.
The Russians are displeased because Putin meddled in the affairs of a neighboring nation and did so in a crude, ham-handed manner, and got caught, and it blew up in his face embarrassingly. Everyone knew the Azarov regime was a Russian puppet, a creation of the FSB, or whatever the old KGB calls itself this week. One need not be a "fascist," whatever that word even means in 2014 (and if it means "ruthless militaristic dictator who wishes to invade and conquer his neighbors," Mr. Putin and his fan club should look in the mirror and think carefully before flinging such a term around, or accusing others of "whitewashing WWII criminals"), to sympathize with the popular uprising that drove Azarov from power and drove him to seek exile in Russia. Perhaps this will result in a chastened Russia, whose power abroad and influence are yet further diminished.
Please ponder the meaning of the term "blowback." It doesn't just happen to the USA.
I have masturbated to Lara Croft's death scenes in the remade Tomb Raider game.
>>533
( ・-・) Holodomor has nothing to do with current events on Ukraine unlike "fascism" which might have a bit of relevance to far-right government that rose to power. If you were following the uprising, you probably noticed that its leaders were pretty much the same people who are responsible for the Orange Revolution. Police should have actually shot at protesters.
Current problem is that Eastern Ukraine doesn't want to be under new rule, but Putin chickened out instead of helping it, which is highly illogical after his annexation of Crimea by force when he promised to protect anyone speaking Russian. Unfortunately, he isn't "ruthless militaristic dictator who wishes to invade and conquer neighbours" despite of being portrayed as such in some mass media. Crimea was sought after by Russia, Turkey and NATO as it gives a strategic control over Russia's access to the Black Sea.
I'd also like to remind you that Ukraine was an integral part of Russian Empire and USSR and as such there are deep ties between two peoples effects of which on general population you might not perceive through political news.

( ・-・) The only "far right" government in Eastern Europe today is the Putin regime in Russia. We are aware of the Russian state propaganda organs' propensity to use the words "Nazi" and "fascist" for anyone, anywhere, who opposes Russian jingoism, revanchism, and irridentism. As a result the terms have lost all meaning and become empty obscenities, not even political.
And yes, we are also aware that Ukraine was once an integral part of Russian Empire and USSR, in exactly the same sense that Manchuria, Korea, Indochina, and the Philippines were once integral parts of the Japanese Empire. "Deep ties," indeed.
Why are Russians so tone-deaf, so unwilling to consider that centuries of brutal occupation, rape, looting, and mass murder of their neighbors might have left their neighbors a bit resentful, that their neighbors might not fully share in their enthusiasm and nostalgia for "the good old days" of the USSR?
Even the Japanese are better at taking a hint. The Japanese at least comprehend that their neighbors resent them and are suspicious of their motives, and that it has something to do with Twentieth Century history, though they still do not seem to grasp exactly why.
But this is becoming excessively serious.

Palestinian politics is bullshit. People have the choice between Fatah, which is composed of corrupt assholes, or Hamas, which is composed of violent assholes. There are other factors that pushed Hamas into power in Gaza, namely that it's a tiny shithole ghetto state that contains 2 million people who have fuck all for resources and can't better their circumstances because of political reasons. Likely people felt frustrated with Fatah there, though I can't imagine they'll be itching to put Hamas back in power after the latest war. My current hope is that a better party will arise out of all this bullshit, but it seems unlikely considering the conditions.
Anyway, just don't talk about something you don't know anything about. I blame Hamas fully for what happened, but most of the people hurt in Gaza are just trying to live their lives.
>>559 Honestly, Palestine is a cornered rat with exactly one option. While I dislike killing, I can't think of a better party for them than Hamas at the moment. Do you have any insights on how they could gain self determination non-violently? Israel seems perfectly willing to commit genocide.
You mean the Isreal that goes out of its way to avoid civilian casualties while dealing with neighbors who revel in killing civilians is the genocidal half of this conflict?
Do your thoughts and opinions ever actually intersect with reality at any point?
>>566 Israel that uses their border guards to regulate food import? That shoots at fishing boats who try to go far enough out to actually catch fish? How does starving a country to death avoid civilian casualties?
How does hiding rocket launchers and weapons in schools and hospitals avoid civilian casualties? How does the Hamas police deliberately forcing Palestinian civilians to stay in combat zones avoid civilian casualties? How does digging tunnels under Israel with the express purpose of KILLING CIVILIANS avoid civilian casualties? How does breaking every single fucking cease fire the moment they have more rockets in place avoid civilian casualties? How does having a charter that's devoted to utterly destroying their neighbors no matter how much it costs themselves avoid civilian casualties?
>>565, they have two options, actually. They just utterly refuse to consider the peaceful one because their magic book tells them to kill all Jews all the time.
>>568 I never said Hamas was morally upright or didn't kill Israeli civilians and jeopardize their own. I said I wasn't sure how else Palestine could prevent their own extinction and asked if you could think of a peaceful way because I don't see it.
>>568 for the record, I also support Israel's right to self-determination, I just don't see it as presently being threatened.
>>569, the peaceful way is pretty simple actually. Stop trying to destroy Israel. Stop trying to KILL ALL JEWS. Make peace. Simplest thing in the world. Requires very little effort on their part, and they'll be much better off in both the short and long term. Win win.
Israelis want peace - they're the most progressive society in that region.
