Don't you see, Seanchaidh is celebrating the fact that Ukrainian nazies put aside the whole nazi thing to elect a Jewish president. Its just a matter of time till he tells us that as soon as Russia is done in the Ukraine that they will deal with all the Russian nazies too.
You could have got away with that shit had you not spent an inordinate amount of time making excuses for Putin or dropping comments along the lines that anything that opposes the world's biggest hegemon is worth it.
Ooh, OK! So what's the non-sanitised version? I'm dying to know how it makes annexation and indiscriminate slaughter acceptable!

Hmyesh, how dare the world stand up to Russia's indiscriminate murder and destruction.
God this is going to sound so “acksually” but I wouldn’t be surprised if Ukraine did have some kind of bio weapons program in the sense of creating counter measures to biological warfare. Nor would be shocked if it had biolabs that looked at diseases in and of themselves - especially since COVID - because both of those things seem like sensible programmes to have when you’re next door to Russia.
I'm not sure how much worth it is to use biological weapons on your own soil. Chemical, sure, but biological? How do you even control that?

No. Molotov-Ribbentrop was not a peace agreement, it was a shopping list where both countries laid out which countries they were going to invade and conquer. First on the list? Poland. Like, you want to talk about the Soviets being worried about some hypothetical in-action by Western countries if Germany invaded them, yet it was the Soviets who gleefully helped Nazis in their campaign across Poland and then stood by and let them run rip shod all over the rest of Europe (because they were too busy invading eastern Europe and massacring Polish people).
The answer western capitalist countries that weren't yet fascist gave to Stalin's call for an antifascist alliance was the Munich Agreement, to which the Soviet Union was not a party-- was not even invited to discuss. But neither were the Czechs, so whatever, right? So the Soviets looked to their own interests because clearly the 'free world' wasn't going to be helpful. Save the crocodile tears.
Wow, interesting.Here's an article from 2016 written by Peter Tatchell on the UK's Stop The War Coalition, at the time on Syria:
Stop the War is more interested in fighting the West than for Syrians
The Stop the War coalition is betraying Syrians by failing to actively campaign against the war crimes of Assad and Putin. Peter Tatchell, a long-time supporter of the anti-war movement, reveals an organisation that has lost its way
It effectively describes Seanchaidh's chunk of the left. Anyone and everyone can be sold down the river in their fight against the capitalist West.
An organization in the UK didn't organize marches against Putin. In the UK. Because marches against Putin in the UK would have been helpful somehow-- would have had a positive effect when it comes to stopping war (as is the organization's apparent goal) and, presumably, not starting it. Or essentially, the anti-war movement has lost its way because a portion of it doesn't want to add fuel to narratives that will lead to more war. They failed to condemn the military interventions of other countries in Syria... that were actually invited there by the government to oppose many of the same people the United States was (ISIS). And that are likely targets of the government which they operate under. Incredible.
Who said it would?
I've been encouraging the route which, if taken from the beginning, this wouldn't have even happened. And if taken now should result in a more or less immediate peace agreement. Is 'detente' not in your vocabulary?
Were you not aware that much of the Soviet Union's diplomacy in the 30s had as its goal the isolation and containment of Hitler? The problem is that your government wasn't so keen and the French and UK sold out the Czechs.
Yes, and that's a tragedy that shouldn't have happened, and no one would have thought wrong had they just sat aside and let Nazis invade Poland...
Yes, and their own interests just happened to be starting WWII alongside the fucking Nazis.
Yeah, that would have been great. It was also what the Soviet Union proposed before the invasion of Poland. UK/France said no. And it's a bit rich to blame communists for thinking that capitalist countries would hang them out to dry just like they did Czechoslovakia.
Don't target people. Potato blight killed millions, mostly in Ireland, but didn't kill anyone directly. Doesn't hurt countries where they don't grow potatoes.
So, we should give a free pass to the US as well? Why can we not condemn whoever does this? Lots of people have no trouble with that.
And yet the Soviets had played their part in creating Nazi Germany in the first place, actively encouraging disruption in the belief that political extremism would hasten the end of Western capitalism.
Again, I'm not blaming them for the western Allies being dicks, or for their fear of hypothetically being left out to dry if invaded by Nazis.
Eh, I can't blame them too much for that, myself. The Nazis had stated their desire to destroy the USSR, nobody else seems to care, or actively supports this idea, every nation for itself makes sense.
And that's where Sean's true colors show; he doesn't give the West any free pass and doesn't care one bit about any of the West's motivations to engage in a conflict. He only cares when it's a rival of the West conducting a war, killing innocent people, oppressing its own population, etc. The same goes with how easily he buys state propaganda. Anything the West says to excuse or minimize the scope of its actions is de-facto assumed to be lies, meanwhile all the propaganda from Fascist dictatorships which have clamped down on free speech is accepted as truth and any information contradicting that is CIA fabricated lies (Cf. Sean repeating Chinese state propaganda on the persecution of the Uyghurs) .
Doesn't matter what I say, the US has gotten a free pass and is making no attempt whatsoever to rectify that. So why on earth would I hold anyone who is not the United States or in its club (so to speak) to a standard that my own country cannot hold itself? Especially when such sentiments can easily be leveraged into a justification for yet more aggression and hostility by the United States? We get to watch a parade of ghouls like Hillary Clinton yammer on about the inexcusable nature of damaging a hospital as if hospitals have not been deliberately targeted by the United States multiple times during their political careers with impunity.
It's good to be anti-American, actually.
