Pretty sure it was so that American arms manufacturing companies would have a new market in Europe to sell their shit to.
The pinned tweet on that account is hilarious, and the replies to it are mostly "YEAH WELL YOU ARE FAT". It's hard not to hate people, sometimes
I see everyone's one piece of historical knowledge is coming in useful again

Unreal live versions of songs you forgot you loved or whatever
Haha, yes! I have it on cd, looking pristine because I probably bought it in 2006 or something, it was all just copies of copies of cassettes back in the day. I went to see the Beat there in Whelans a few years back, and the support band were a bunch of teenagers doing an Operation Ivy by way...

I wish they fucking wouldn't.
Vlad has enough power and money.
This is just jerking off at this point.

i wonder what the average russian's attitude to ukraine is. like the average irish or british person's approach to NI is - a 'yeah, bring it on as long as it doesn't affect taxes/food prices etc.'?
I've been re-reading a book on russian history/the romanovs
the timeframe from Ukraine being effectively in all or part of the Russian empire/USSR is not that dissimilar to the plantations (1670s onwards).
so it would be interesting to see what extent the average Ivan/Ivanka considers it 'theirs'...
one might argue that the separatist regions are a better analog of NI though..

War hawks really coming out of the woodwork today. All defending Lenin against Putin's speech I hope!
I was reading a thing yesterday about how the Clinton administration was directly involved in getting Putin into power in the 1990s, same old story of this stuff coming back to bite them. I don't know enough about this history to comment on it but it'd make sense considering how Russia was run in the 1990s.

It would be interesting how this attitude changes if a long running guerilla war type campaign starts happening in Ukraine.
possible I guess - he probably seemed like a safer bet that some of the others at the time
the idea of Angloid war freaks having to delve into Lenin’s collected works to formulate their next moves is something of a refreshing irony in all of this
the development of the donbass was seemingly more of an industrial-revolution-era thing: donetsk used to be called yusovka (hughesovka) because it was basically built out of nothing by, of all people, a welsh guy called john hughes in the 1860s.
before that it was known for centuries as the “wild fields” because, essentially, it was empty and barren.
all of which is now being instrumentalised and weaponised by putin to mount a very nineteenth-century-style sphere-of-influence war. but really, comparisons to northern ireland don’t seem too helpful here. everyone’s orthodox, for starters.
if it involves Wales and left politics you know who is always gonna have a song (instrumental in this case) about it
sorry - I was confusing two points a little - I meant more a comparison to NI in terms of an minority left behind within the borders of another country by a retreating empire.
