#2 "The Sucker" use to get links at Zero Hedge regularly, then that stopped. Even they have standards.

#3 First, the Russians do not see Ukrainian as Hadjis but as their own brothers.

I sort of miss those videos of people crowding the side of the road cheering, waving flags, and throwing flowers. Strange that.

#5 Fourth, please understand that the double goals of 1) denazification and 2) disarmament implies that any person which is not a Nazi...

And deciding who qualifies as a "Nazi" will be... Russian thugs!

#6 That is how the US liberal sees them.

Because this mouth-breather suckle from the same Soviet teat as the average US leftist.

#7 35,000+ views for that post alone in his site. If you want to know what the Democrats think you look at Daily Kos. If you want to see what the Russians are saying to one another his site is a place to start. Living in an echo chamber leads to miscalculation

#9 Sooo..... if there are nazis in Ukraine, does that mean that they're all in league with the Canadian truckers?

#10 Russian bombs strike Babyn Yar Holocaust memorial.

Denazification?

#11 Begin by bombing the shit of the "hadjis" or "sand n***ers" with bombs and missiles, then flatten their town à la Fallujah, then move in with heavy armor and shoot everything which still moves or breathes.

Saker seems to forget the precision guided shock and awe in which we destroyed Saddam's command and control facilities, his communications and his logistics thereby rendering his military useless and unable to offer any organized resistance. In only a couple of days our tanks rolled into Baghdad unopposed. Contrast that with Putin's clumsy and heavy handed stumbling. The Ukrainian resistance is still well organized and a serious threat to the invaders. Russian tanks remain stalled outside of Kiev.

IIRC, the battle at Falluha was against a disorganized bunch of jihadis who were hopped up and drugs and died like dogs.

#12 I always thought the Russian propaganda was a bit more subtle... This guy is a Karen of an extreme extent. I'm glad to hear the Kremlin loving left is still into the name calling and Nazi seems to be the name of the day. If it was not so over the top I would have been angry. But this is just comical...

#13 They seemed to have slowed down. Perhaps troll-checks aren't on time or clearing?

#14 Frank, I think I read sometime today that Russia has some 600 billion dollars's worth of various foreign currencies in its reserves. So I don't think there's going to be a "they'll run out of money!" solution to either the war problem or the troll problem.

#15 Russian propoganda, well soviet propoganda, was really good. It gave us the anti-nuke movement that left so many buying Russian and Arab oil. it gave us the environmental movement that had us cripple our own oil production. It gave us the seeds of race divisions when they couldn't exploit class divisions in most of the west.

It took time, but they were really good at it.

It’s not as much fun attacking a hardened fortification. ;-)

#18 Russian (and Chinese) propaganda is so good that the people who have been destroying the industrial base here for the last thirty years and empowering Putin think they've been doing a Good Thing.

We're in a situation where, if this were WW2, we'd be paying for Mussolini's _and_ Hitler's militaries and begging Hitler to keep Mussolini in check. this is a nightmare to me.
