Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It's only a hidden history because the NATO news engine buried the lede and treated the diplomatic negotiations as Russian propaganda

Putin and Zelensky surprised everyone with their mutual willingness to consider far-reaching concessions to end the war. They might well surprise everyone again in the future.

Western Cope. That ship sailed when you ignored his offer. Why would he make a similar offer after winning the war? Lunacy.

Exactly, this was the state of the world two years ago, a lot changed since.

Second, the drafts contain several articles that were added to the treaty at Russia’s insistence but were not part of the communiqué and related to matters that Ukraine refused to discuss. These require Ukraine to ban “fascism, Nazism, neo-Nazism, and aggressive nationalism”—and, to that end, to repeal six Ukrainian laws (fully or in part) that dealt, broadly, with contentious aspects of Soviet-era history, in particular the role of Ukrainian nationalists during World War II.

LOL all Ukraine had to do was repudiate Bandera and they fucking balked over that.

It is easy to see why Ukraine would resist letting Russia determine its policies on historical memory

Yeah, it is easy to see why Ukraine won't just allow a foreign power to dictate their policies on—checks notes—banning Nazism.

But, anyway, Z is Jewish, Azov denounced its Nazi past a long time ago, and all those mainstream media reports in the West about there being a neo-Nazi problem in pre-2022 Ukraine were really just Russian propaganda, so this is all just a coincidence.

Sure, it's a "hidden history" now when a week ago it was still misinformation. I am so tired of this shit.

This. Is. An. Investment. In. Democracy.

Liberals: "Oh a sign it's acceptable now to shift my opinion and act like I always felt this way!"

Love the tone of the article. At every step of the way it makes sure to remind us that actually, Russia and Putin's claims are baseless, only to then turn around and provide evidence for those "baseless claims".

This might actually even be genius. If they don't do this, liberals would dismiss the article as propaganda.

lol yeah have to spoon feed the truth to them, open wide for the airplane.
