So I guess the millions of Latino children in ICE detention camps can pound sand and kick rocks. Okay.

Ukrainians filmed themselves shooting POWs in the kneecaps, they were also filmed stabbing a restrained Russian civilian through his eye until he was dead. I’m sorry but I supported Ukraine for moral reasons, but when they lost their morals, they also lost my support.
>can pound sand and kick rocks Yep, all the way back to Mexico

Well, seems like Russia turned off the gas for Europe:
>Reuters: gas pumping through the Yamal-Europe gas pipeline fell to zero
>This is the Belarusian GTS. The Kremlin is beginning to blackmail Europe on the subject of payments for gas in rubles, presumably. Well, let's test the strength of European integrity and willingness to humiliate
>Russian Forces are reported to be Heavily Striking Areas around the Kyiv Region including the City Proper tonight, this could possibly be used to Cover a Tactical Withdrawal at certain points along the Line of Contact in the Region as was reported today by U.S Intelligence. twitter.com/sentdefender/status/1508921096980021249
>Edward Lucas's 2008 Economist article associated the tactic specifically with the Soviet Union, stating "Soviet propagandists during the cold war were trained in a tactic that their western interlocutors nicknamed 'whataboutism'. Any criticism of the Soviet Union (Afghanistan, martial law in Poland, imprisonment of dissidents, censorship) was met with a 'What about...' (apartheid South Africa, jailed trade-unionists, the Contras in Nicaragua, and so forth)." Lucas recommended two methods of properly countering whataboutism: to "use points made by Russian leaders themselves" so that they cannot be applied to the West, and for Western nations to engage in more self-criticism of their own media and government.[4]
>Following the publication of Lucas's 2007 and 2008 articles and his 2008 book The New Cold War: Putin's Russia and the Threat to the West, which featured the same themes,[15] opinion writers at prominent English language media outlets began using the term and echoing the themes laid out by Lucas, including the association with the Soviet Union and Russia. Journalist Luke Harding described Russian whataboutism as "practically a national ideology".[16] Writing for Bloomberg News, Leonid Bershidsky called whataboutism a "Russian tradition",[17] while The New Yorker described the technique as "a strategy of false moral equivalences".[18] Julia Ioffe called whataboutism a "sacred Russian tactic",[19][20] and compared it to accusing the pot of calling the kettle black.[21]

>Several articles connected whataboutism to the Soviet era by pointing to the "And you are lynching Negroes" example (as Lucas did), in which Soviets deflected criticism by referencing racism in the Jim Crow United States. Ioffe, who has written about whataboutism in at least three separate outlets,[22][20][23] called it a "classic" example of the tactic.[24] Some writers also identified more recent examples when Russian officials responded to critique by, for example, redirecting attention to the United Kingdom's anti-protest laws[25] or Russians' difficulty obtaining a visa to the United Kingdom.[26] In 2006, Putin replied to George W. Bush’s criticism of Russia that he "did not want to head a democracy like Iraq's."[27] In 2017 Ben Zimmer noted that Putin also used the tactic in an interview with NBC News journalist Megyn Kelly.[28]
>The term receives increased attention when controversies involving Russia are in the news. For example, writing for Slate in 2014, Joshua Keating noted the use of "whataboutism" in a statement on Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea, where Putin "listed a litany of complaints about Western intervention."[29]

show me the post where you supported ukraine prior to conflict you should have some screenshots or whatever liliputin memes. prove you are not a shill

"""Russians""" killed tens of millions of Russians and now literal descendants of those bolshevik kikes are still running our country, gulaging Russians for petty crimes and wrongthink and keeping archives of 100 years of their crimes tightly shut.
The only purpose of Putin regime is guarding archives of bolshevik jews genociding amaleks in USSR. Those archives were coming loose in the 90's under Eltsyn which is why glowniggers staged Chechen wars to get back into power and clamp them back down.
Yes, it's a jew versys jew war with white people dying in it. But bolshevik jews are clearly the worst of two evils.
I guess because that one is absolutely outrageous?
Anyways, how the fuck is this whole war supposed to end? I guess we'll have a split Ukraine in the worst case and in the best case some eastern parts will be retaken. But there's no chance for Crimea, right?
Ukiebros? How do you think this'll go? At the rate things are going Russia won't clean up it's act and we'll have East/West-Germany 2.0 neosoviet boogaloo, right? If Russia patches its shit up and becomes prosperous, it'll probably eventually become democratic too, If it just has a proper regime change then maybe it'll all come together in about 30 years?
So they gloss over the millions of migrants from Honduras for a couple dozen of Russians? Seems racist to me

Kek what kind of tactic is this you moralfaggot? Dont you know where you are? FSB shills are getting worse by the day, cant even adjust tactics to different websites.
Yeah, writing means that the flag itself has no meaning (just like nobody can differentiate between LNR and DNR flags)

>If Ukraine joins NATO, expect Ukrainian troops to die in China thousands of kilometers from home when has NATO declared war on anyone? Or forced anyone to give support for US retarded wars? Retarded cocksucking governments don't count, France told you to fuck off and you were so mad that you had to invent a new name for french ries

Josiah Perez
The burnt out hulks of their vehicles and dead comrades at their current positions were demoralizing. They had to move to different spots to fill with their dead.
Wyatt Howard
Any Rusbro here willing to test something for me? I am making a cope meme and I need someone to run 'ping google.com' in windows command line or linux shell and know the IP of the google server used by Russian users. Weird, but it will be worth it, I promise.
Bentley Nelson
So instead of dying at point A they now die at point B. TACTICAL RUSSIAN VICTORY.
Gavin Peterson
So, you are saying the Russians are lying? Which means all the victory claims are also bullshit.
Christopher Anderson
What's with this obsession about not touching Middle East? It's a nest of fundamental muslims. Do you think they should have nukes? Do you think they should unite? Do you think they should be freely let to conduct terrorism whenever the fuck they please? Do you know history? Do you know that those muslims almost conquered Europe a few times? Stop defending those dogs. Killing innocent children is obviously wrong though and no one does it deliberately.
