Sounds like a euphemism for confessing that Western made armor is poor-quality and vastly overestimates itself. Quelle surprise.

Cost cutting from the west based off warfare experience in places that are dirt poor? Say it ain't so!

Western doctrine is what happens when you ask nazis, people who ideologically are incapable of learning from history, "Hey, why did you lose to the Soviets? How should we beat them?"
Please note that ukraine and russia were both part of the USSR during this period so claiming this is "Russian propaganda" is denigrating the lives of millions of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians who died at the hands of the nazis or pushing nazis out of eastern europe. (Also even if you could say it was favorable to Russia, which it is not, it is also factually true)
I'll say it.
This is Russian propaganda.
So brave. Well, I'm off to the power plant, those ukrainian red army soldiers and civilians spinning in their graves aren't going to hooked up to generators by themselves.

What are you doing to fight rape in your community? How are you fighting the US military, the largest band of rapists on the planet? Facebook posts don't count.
Classic whataboutism there.
But to answer your questions, I vote for candidates that take rape allegations and the abysmal police and military response to rapes seriously. I support my family, friends and community members who have been raped or expienced sexual assault, in whatever way thay helps the get the closure they desire.
I don't have Facebook, and I agree, it doesn't count.
I agree, the far right is a bunch of shitheads. Trump should swing, and all his cronies should be forced to watch from prison.
Say all you want about the US military, but they haven't let violent rapists out of prison and promised them pardons if they commit war crimes on neighboring sovereign nations.
Honestly, I'm just wasting time here. You aren't paid to argue in good faith anyway.
Cries of "whataboutism" were silly when those cries were used to justify British imperialism in Ireland and they're silly now.

We live in an oligarchy, So your vote is meaningless.

Wow, that is incredibly vague, and does nothing about the larger issue. It is entirely reactionary without any proactive components.

Yes, I am glad we agree you're a shithead.

Oh they've done much worse. They've killed millions of people in West Asia over the last two decades. Most women in the military experience some form of sexual violence, and those women are on their team.

Lmao, baselessly accusing me of being a paid actor while accusing me of bad faith.

Why are we bringing this up? What does this have to do with the 100% Geneva Convention Violation warcrime run Russia has been doing in Ukraine for over a year at this point?
Yes, I am glad we agree you’re a shithead.
Shithead, maybe, rightwing... I don't think I really need to defend myself from this point. It's hilarious how out of touch you are.

War is hell comrade. Go ahead and post some numbers about Russia's record on those items before you point a finger at the US. Before you yell whataboutism, remember that the topic in this conversation was the warcrime that Russia is currently commiting.

There is a lot more evidence of you being a Russian warcrime apologist than there is of me being a right-winger :)
