In some Moscow high schools today they carried out a special “history” lesson:

.....they told teens it is not a war, it is a “special operation”. Some kids stood up and left, others cried who have relatives in Ukraine.

Worse than 1984. All of it.

Nothing new. Korea and Vietnam were "police actions". Euphemisms for war are standard practice.

Also take anything on Twitter with a block of salt.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow What would you call it ?
@RodionRomanovitch War is war. A label doesn't change that.
RodionRomanovitch · 56-60, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I don't recall anybody declaring war. Wouldn't an invasion be more precise ?
@RodionRomanovitch Nobody declares war anymore. That is an irrelevant technicality just like the euphemisms. Invasions are generally how a war is started.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Keep supporting an imperialistic invasion and plan for occupation.
@MarkPaul Again, supporting empire and colonialism is your specialty.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Not when it comes to Russia. Or, don't you understand that?
@MarkPaul I understand you are a wannabe cold warrior who is about 2 decades too young to have a valid excuse for that.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well, I'm a history junkie.
@MarkPaul And yet you prove consistently you failed to learn even high school level history.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow ... which is a good match since you learned history from a vintage Soviet Union history of the world textbook.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Do you finally admit that this war is not about removing Nazis from the ukraine?
@MarkPaul And back to being a right wing cold war cliche that you are not old enough to have a good excuse for.
@CorvusBlackthorne So you stopped pretending they don't exist have you?

And it might shock you but there is often more than one single reason why a conflict happens. Shocking I know.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Thanks for sharing your Cold War Soviet inspired childish insults.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I never pretended they didn't exist. You proved quite clearly that they do, and briefly had me convinced that Putin's war was just.

Shame on you.
@CorvusBlackthorne And moving the goalposts. Okay.


I am sorry you dismiss facts out of hand if they don't fit your narrative.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I'm glad you're here..........and that your Nazi cliche has reared its little head. Again.

You see, you didn't answer a question that I put to you in our previous conversation. I asked:

".......who is this Nazi who commands police and military and has their own branch in the military trained and backed by NATO?"

My question was in response to:

"........the police and military under the command of a nazi and they have their own branch in the military, trained and backed by NATO."

It's not this guy is it?


Maybe you can answer another question for me. How does a nation which has such massive support for nazism elect a Jew as their president?
@room101 And back to the black friend defence. I see. lol. I guess these guys are what? A hallucination?

MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@room101 He won't answer. He won't admit he backed the wrong dictator. He won't admit he doesn't know what he's talking about. Oh, and he won't directly answer your question. He will insult you instead.
@MarkPaul I know.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Mission complete.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Worn by every single member of the Guardia Civil in Spain.


Oh and yeah, the vast majority of my friends are indeed black.

Any ideas as to why a pro-Nazi country would vote a Jew as their president?
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@room101 That's not his problem. He has his hands full blindly defending Putin's horrific actions while badmouthing Canada, the USA, and the EU.
@room101 Look up Asen Avakov. He was interior minister until just this past summer.


And the guy who owns the interior ministry police, and bankrolls almost the entire "National Guard" aka the nazi Batalions is a guy name Igor Kolomoisky an oligarch who calls himself a judeo Banderist. Stepan Bandera got his start mass murdering Poles in Ukraine before throwing in with Hitler. He was a fascist and literally the only point he and Hitler disagreed on was who the so called "master race" was. He believed it was Ukrainians. Oh and Kolomoisky is Jewish. So basically a Jewish nazi collaborator by his own definition.
