Has a dictatorship any place in a future EU? Asking for Turkey.
Not trying to be a devil's advocate but on which EU-non-dictarship were voters to decide whether they chose to engage in a war against #Russia and send half their weapons stockpile to UKrain/USrain, if not personnel as well (clear case of PL nato officers since day one)?
NONE, the media spoke, oligarchs decided, and engaged. Now they have no weapons and must pay the US for protection against a NEW enemy.
@yianiris @smallcircles The forcible kidnapping by Russian soldiers (and 'processing') of Ukrainian children is one of many warcrimes perpetuated in that conflict.
The violence and harms can be resolved today.
Im okay with Ukraine receiving weaponry to stem or undo this (and other genocidal acts levelled against civil society).
I can only hope that there is enough maturity in democracies, so that expediency and sophistry does not undermine Ukraine's right to self determination.
This is pure and unsupported Goebbels inspired propaganda that US/NSA troll bots are injecting into #fediverse
And you are reproducing it because you are an ideological child of Goebbels or yourself a propaganda bot?
@yianiris @smallcircles @heretical_i I dont have time for sophistry, let alone for unsupported personal attacks -- blocking.
@indieterminacy @yianiris @heretical_i
Same. This reaction is beyond the pale.
