Alexander Borodai is a member of Russian Duma and one of the founding fathers of the “DPR” (Donetsk People Republic) under FSB control.

[…]

  • First, he admits that any ceasefire for Russia will only be a temporary freeze in the war, because Putin’s main goal will not be achieved - taking control of all of Ukraine and establishing a puppet Russian regime. Any independent Ukraine for Russians is “Western weapon”.

  • Second, he admits that Russia has been waging war with the help of people like him in Ukraine since 2014, and in 2022 it only continued with a full-scale invasion.

  • And most importantly, third, he directly says that the problem is not that Ukraine can be in NATO. The problem for Russians is that they consider all of Ukraine to be their “historical territory” and that Ukrainians “do not exist as a nation at all”, and that Ukraine is inhabited by “divided Russians”.

    Yeah, so it’s limitations of methodology and philosophical arguments that are preventing the sources you have provided from proving your initial claim. Can’t argue with that. Bit weird though, because you came along and said your assumptions were based on facts.

    Glancing through your information, I see numbers from the Atlantic Council that don’t surprise me. Reasons for government support that are largely known, like on the Japanese website. Nothing of that supports what you are saying.

    But: Cool that we can agree that those attitudes are not ingrained. And because numbers seemingly don’t help us, let’s talk about how these genocidal tendencies are a reflection of the choices Russian people make. What are those choices? (Later we can talk about how “people like me” enable those)

    Edit:

    I think I should have noticed this earlier:

    Your initial comment under the post with a ridiculous title like that, is just that: a propaganda piece.

    The Article:

    Russians showing their real intentions after all

    You:

    Most Russians are genocidal anyway. And that’s a fact.

    Me:

    Discussing…. Fuck that, I am out.

      Surprise, surprise. You russian genocide white washing shills are all the same. What are you even saying? You clearly didn’t read anything I shared and simply assume that it all magically aligns with your worldview. If you did, you’d actually have meaningful arguments of my position. You didn’t address a single point that I made and just went with “Nah, all that stuff actually shows I am right!1!1!!!”

      That’s why I labelled you as fake humanist.

      I am done here.
