Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

They're about to lose Brazil.

Other graph in article is US popularity decline started with Ukraine war, and Russia gained. Russia is likely to overtake US in near future. The significance of 2022 trend start is that only everyone who already hated Russia was in favour of warmongering propaganda against it. Countries with Stalin Derangement Syndrome still love the US.

Russia started the war and they have the power to end it. That's not 'warmongering' it's the only path to lasting peace. Fuck war, fuck Putin.

You're all like those hasbara people who think history starts on oct 7 and nothing happened before.
Everyone with some interest in it has seen the US support, train and arm those fascist Azov that have terrorised the east and south for 8 YEARS.
Just bcs they didn't care to show it in western news doesn't mean it didn't happen.
And they broke the Minsk Accords, all of them.
But Russia started it, riiight.
Don't come crying now, they gave you all the chances for peace.
That's what happens to US proxies.

Both sides broke the Minsk Agreement and the whole thing was a ceasefire brokered after Russia INVADED CRIMEA. Yes Russia started it. Now to some people it's a debate on if they were justified but it was absolutely and without question an aggressive movement of Russia on Ukraine.

LOL is that your alt account?
And NO, only the ukros broke it as monitored by the OCSE (which isn't even neutral)
Before the intervention it went up to around a 1000 violations per day for the Banderites and about 10 (as usual) for the Donbass and Luhansk people.
The Banderites were ready to do their final big push to ethnic cleanse them.
That's when Russia intervened.

You clearly also know nothing about Crimea, almost fully ethnic Russian, and only been part of ex-ukraine for a short period. (bcs of the ukro Chruchev).
In all polls long before the fascist coup people have voted 75+% to be with Russia.
After the coup OC 95% and more.
The Banderites even cut off the water (one of their many warcrimes) and nobody wanted to live under that regime that even forbid them to use Russian for official purposes.
And never in your wildest dreams would Russia give up the Black Sea fleet.
NATO has gone too far.
Again, cry all you want, they caused it, have been given plenty opportunity for peace but insisted on being a proxy to die for the US/UK.
Now they will learn their lesson.

I only have the one account. You are delusional. I can't be bothered to reply with any more effort because it would be wasted on you.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

all I can hope for.
Could've stayed out of it with your obvious US propaganda lies in the first place.

You must get tired from all the mental gymnastics. Kettle meet pot.

Bloomcole is quite possibly the most aggressively daft user on Lemmy. I use Voyager, which has an option to track my votes per user, and he has the lowest score by a massive margin.

They typically do something like what happened here: aggressively disagree on a topic, insult those involved, claim anyone that disagrees with them are alts of the OP, and finally state that they're now bored and are blocking all of them. I can't help but be fascinated by their utter lack of self awareness.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I'll block this alt too.
Better luck with some gullibles, your mental gymnastics don't work on people who know the clear facts.
Now you look like the fool you are, common with nazi fanboys.
