        Eh, East Germany was quite alright. West Germany (and by extension modern Germany) meanwhile has always been a fascist terrorist state.

              There is no way they are comparable. The US was established by slaveowners through a genocide of indigenous people, with the blood of African slaves. After WWII every war the US has engaged in has been riddled with war crimes. Not to talk about the amount of people starved to death in the global south through IMF and other instruments of imperial hegemony. The RF might have been up to some heinous shit at some point, but there is absolutely no way they are comparable or equal. You gotta stop deluding yourself.

                  Oh wow, Goebbels’ human wave myth in the big 2026. i was right to tag you as “shitlib”, mut maybe “fascist” would be more accurate.

                  Lmao you’re really repeating the “human wave” bs? The thing that was put forth by the surviving nazi generals when they had to explain why they lost a war with a less developed nation in the middle of establishing a new officer corps? The myth that had been debunked as soon as it was uttered and utterly smashed when the Soviet archives opened up? That one?
                  Their “human wave” (making tanks that are capable of arriving at the front lines and equipping the troops with functional weapons) vs. our glorious volksturm (Turning children into suicide bombers so Himmler can fuck his mistress one more time)

                  This is such common knowledge that not even dumbasses who get all their knowledge of past events from paradox games will think it real. Go talk to any uncle in order to fix this gap in your brain. And then learn to shut the fuck up about things you dont know

                  Also your argument about the Russian Republic being worse than the USA is something that happened more than two governmental systems ago?? The US is committing a genocide right now, the US murdered millions of iraqis, afghanis, syrians, libyans, kurds and so many more. The US is directly responsible for some of the worst regimes around the world - Pol Pot was directly backed by the US. Somehow the modern Russian Republic is worse than that because over a century ago another government in the same geographic region had serfs? Genuinely what is wrong with you?

                  The only reason we learned about Abu Ghraib was because of one single Australian journalist working for a tabloid in Australia who waited months to publish pictures shared with every major news outlet in the west, because she figured the major news outlets would make some proper story about it. They never did.

                  The articles you shared as “proof” were all just statements, assumptions and estimations made by US and Ukraine officials, yet you think yourself somehow non-propagandised. Read “Inventing Reality”.

          “democracy” and its the country with the largest slave population in the world, the largest military, the lowest correlation between public support and policy, concentration camps on the border, gestapo actively hunting dissidents, a ruling duopoly that does everything it can to gerrymander and suppress the farce that passes for elections, active blacksites for political prisoners and harsh censorship. Alright bud.

          If your criteria for “democracy” is “they will at least pretend to let the public have elections” then there’s quite a few countries you gotta acknowledge to be democracies - Including Russia.

      The real mistake was krauts dropping their nuclear plants. Nordstream was the generational transition plan for German industry and economy. The problem was US blowing it up, to get Europe invested in their “use Ukraine to hurt Russia” War.
