Weapons manufacturers are terrorist organizations

It's true. Their calculators were responsible for the math class massacre of '92

Crimeans overwhelming support Russia against the post-2014 fascist coup gov in Ukraine

People in Donbass too as you'd expect. They welcomed the Russian army as liberators in 2022 from the current fascist Ukraine gov

It's defense because the US military industrial complex is "defending" its profit margins by creating instability far enough away that it won't affect them, but that they can profit off of

Wow, I Wonder why everyone that's left in the regime that deports and persecutes dissenters says they are in support of that regime?

Ukraine never invaded anybody. Giving them weapons so they can throw out the people invading them, taking their land and molesting their people is a good thing. Russia has clearly shown that the only way to get rid of the plague that is Russian soldiers on foreign soil is to kill them. That's why we have this war that Russia has chosen to engage in, and which Russia can choose to withdraw from at any time. That's why Russians are dying by the hundreds of thousands.

Defence is when you defend your country against an invader.

Ever since Ukraine's February revolution, the Kremlin has characterised the new leaders in Kiev as a "fascist junta" made up of neo-Nazis and anti-Semites, set on persecuting, if not eradicating, the Russian-speaking population.

This is demonstrably false. Far-right parties failed to pass a 5% barrier to enter parliament, although if they had banded together, and not split their vote, they would have probably slipped past the threshold.

Lol your own sources are telling you that you talk BS

Edit: found another one lol

The odious Russian media tried to paint Ukraine as a land of Nazis, though that is patently wrong. Ukraine has a thriving Jewish community, and its far-right is still on the fringe. It’s the same in America.

Lol no

Bro the nazi shit in Ukraine has been proven untrue s very long time ago

M8, russkiland tells all of us "ukraine nazi:C" because they fought and freed themself from a form of russian occupation. The moron who was kicked out in 2014 by the ukrainian people recieved a lot of money from russia to be their puppet state, like belarus is right now, but the people didn't like to be such a country and fought for their freedom. That's why vatnikstan invaded crimea and the donbas to keep their little puppet at their side, that's why they kill and torture those who are innocent and just want to live in peace.

The fascist issue is not a biggest concern than in Germany, US, France, and certainly not than in Russia. Of course every fascist must be fought, but it's easy to denounce far-right in other countries. In the hearth of capitalism, a consistent anti-imperialist position shall fight the imperialism state. I'm not fan of the dude, but that pretty basics leninism

About "nazi" that came to the west, it's true, but your examples are very bad. Yea every male in germany during the 3rd Reich have to join the army. Of could they could desert, and having their family and their own life threaten, but that's not make them nazi. None of them were in the nazi party or one of its organisation (like the SS). Adolf Heusinger may be another case, being a general is not the same responsibility and agentivity This a bad job because there is a lot of example of fascists kept at position of power in many countries, including the occupied germany and the french vichists. This lead to fascists laws and institutions being kept in those countries (some brigades dedicated to kill resistance converted in "anticriminal brigade" for example), and being used against decolonization.

TL;DR you could demonstrate nazification of western countries, but in repeating russia propaganda, you fail to do so.

What a bunch or random junk.

Yup, who would have though that Russia invading their neighbour suddenly caused the entirety of western Europe to start the largest investments in military and weapons manufacturing since the cold war?

Looking at the results of this war so far (major expansion of NATO in the North, massively increased military spending in all of NATO, massively increased size of the Ukrainian military), you would almost think Putins goal was something completely different than preventing NATO expansion and "de-militarizing" Ukraine.

It's almost like the best way of preventing your neighbours from building huge militaries and joining alliances is by cooperating with them and helping them feel safe, rather than threatening, coercing and bombing them.

Induced demand -- the production of weapons necessitates the use of weapons in order to keep shares from crashing. Like a shoe factory regularly changing the design and fashion to keep from flooding the market, blood is spilled to keep the 401Ks safe.

Welcome to the Second Cold War, you've been here along.

Oh I’m still going through Forbidden West. When I read the first part of your comment I thought you were spoiling it for me lol

But at least AKs are a symbol of liberation movements. US military equipment, not so much.

This has also changed significantly since 2022 since Russia has effectively stopped exporting weapons. They used to be pretty close to the US in terms of total exports
