Yeah, volunteers. The worst kinds of idiots. Dumb enough to kill other people for some nationalist crap that they truly believe in. Bloody jihadists...
Yes, idiots for choosing to defend their lands from blatantly genocidal GRAD and white phosphorus attacks aimed at them on the behalf of Western imperialism.
I guess honor and courage are hard things to come by these days.
How do you know it wasn't Russian white phosphorus on behalf of Russian imperialism?
Because the Kremlin spoke: "no, it was not Russia."
First of all, Russia is not involved in the war, other than some volunteers.
Russia obviously likes using "volunteers" because it allows them to do all the dirty work, such as using banned weapons, but without facing any consequences because it's all unofficial.
Stir up trouble. Send "peacekeepers". Take over, steal Ukrainian land and resources. Rinse and repeat.
Which part do you fail to understand?
Also, there is no need for the population to be there once they install those Fracking installations
Just like I said, Russia wants to steal. And if Russia can't have the resources, no-one can.
point 1 - it is mostly locals of Donbass, Donetsk, etc. that comprise the militia army. It is a minority of russian volunteers.
You hide behind false statistics. I'd bet they ALL speak fluent Russian in that area. It's not a minority of Russians, they're all Russians. Some of them were happy to claim lots of social benefits from the Ukrainian government because they happened to be born in one stupid USSR 'oblast', while others claimed social benefits from the Russian government because they were born in some other stupid 'oblast'.
The constant nit-picking about who qualifies as a true-blooded Russian is simply xenophobia and racism gone mad.
Ethnic cleansing? You're the SAME fucking ethnicity.
