Re: NATO Support
... you fascists could at least point out ...
Your concern is not a fascist me, dear Comrade LNA, but the aware and watching world. We have seen, in real-time, just what the Russian state will do with a mad man as Tzar. The Great Russian Empire will burn along with the rest of the world very easily. Your Tzar will destroy the very thing his glory tells him he is saving.
Depose your Tzar. Overthrow Tzar Vladimir the Condemned. Free the Russian people, and the world, once again.

Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

Do you support this invasion?

Re: NATO Support
It was a very simple question LMA, do you support what Russia is doing to Ukraine?

Here is a more nuanced analysis of South Africa. It comports well with the people I know in South Africa.
I find it hilarious that you call me a supporter of white nationalism and imperialism.

Re: LNA Unplugged?
LNA writes:
You might not have been born, if not for Stalin.
I was born in the US. What possible power could Stalin have had to deny me my birth? Only Jesus Christ has that kind of power.
I was born in 1977. I doubt I would have been born, if not for Stalin. Aside from metaphysical theories, we would all have failed to come to be, if not for Stalin.
Reminds me of the philosophy of Nietzesche, which influenced Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin. This gets into the sick and demented demons of justification for mad power and disdain for God and the church.
Jar has argued that Hitler was a Christian. He was, however, under the delusion that the God he worshipped was in lockstep with the State. Hitler and Stalin shared some characteristics.
I am a "Marxist forever", just because I existed from 1977 to 2022. My existence cannot be taken away, no matter how hard somebody - NOW - trys.
You can bet that the Christians in Ukraine feel the same way. Only they worship the "God" of the West vs the "God" of the State. Persecution makes people stronger.
One question, LNA. Were you born in S.Africa? Certainly not born in the West.
And in looking up
Winnie Mandela
, I can see where your possible hatred of white privilege began. But again, I am only speculating.
And for the rest of the peanut gallery who has branded LNA as a mass murderer supporter, I need to connect the dots between Stalin and Putin.
One clue may come in the religious historical rift between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. White and Red.

Re: LNA Unplugged?
If you wanna go there, Hitler would have lost even if Russia never entered the War. It would have taken far longer and cost a mammoth amount of future NATO lives(Europe+USA) but the real reason Hitler lost the war was because of his antisemitism. The Jewish Scientists who escaped Nazi Germany were in large part responsible for the Atomic Bomb, V2 rocket (history of missiles), and jet fighters (which Hitler insisted be bombers, reducing their effectiveness.
That being said, a lot of Russian lives were lost in WWII, and also a lot of German lives could have shored up Normandy and changed the course of history. I won't give Stalin all of the credit.

Re: LNA Unplugged?
If you wanna go there
I don't. It's LNA's bullshit.
Attributing conditions of individual people alive today with specific actions by the dictator of one country in a world war is meaningless bullshit.
The history of event during WWII is quite extensively documented from many different perspectives and LNA is attempting to twist it all to look like one of the biggest villains in history, that we reluctantly allied with, Stalin, is the hero who saved us all.
It's pure stinky BULLSHIT!

Yep, Wernher von Braun sure as shit wasn't a Jewish rocket scientist. He developed the V2 for the Nazis. Phat's history needs some serious revisions.
