Ukraine gets the ball back...

Quote
RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE CAMPAIGN ASSESSMENT, JUNE 5

Ukrainian forces continued to conduct limited and localized but successful counterattacks against Russian positions throughout Ukraine on June 5, including retaking large areas of Severodonetsk—the city in Luhansk Oblast the Kremlin has concentrated the majority of its forces on capturing. A Russian Telegram channel claimed that Ukrainian troops launched a counterattack north of Kharkiv City, indicating that Ukrainian forces continue to pressure Russian defensive lines near the Russian border.[1] Ukrainian forces are likely seeking to leverage the continued Russian focus on Severodonetsk to conduct counterattacks on other axes of advance. Even as Russian forces continue to pour equipment and troops into the Severodonetsk-Lysychansk area, Ukrainian forces have conducted a successful counterattack in Severodonetsk in the last 48 hours and pushed Russian troops back to the eastern outskirts of the city and out of southern settlements.[2] Ukrainian counteroffensive pressure will likely continue to draw the attention of Russian forces to Luhansk Oblast and therefore leave vulnerabilities in Russian defensive efforts in Kharkiv Oblast and along the Southern Axis. The ability of Ukrainian forces to successfully counterattack in Severodonetsk, the Kremlin’s current priority area of operations, further indicates the declining combat power of Russian forces in Ukraine.

I advice the OP to open a complain against Stake at Casino Guru.


Would you advise they claim their profit was from slots or betting sports on 15+ accounts to circumvent limits?

Very happy to see your funds were released OP.  Honestly, I'm shocked.

Stay strong and don't make a single bet.  Log in, make daily withdraw, log out.

I imagine what happened to their "there has to be something more to this than just multiple accounts" stance  Huh

I was 100% correct.

We don't suspended users for just having multi-accounts we suspend them for using multiple accounts for the sake of abuse.


If your girlfriend wants to demonstrate he's been telling the truth, first thing he should do is disable ghost mode and unhide statistics.

What I still fail to understand is, how can someone make any kind of profit by creating multiple accounts?
Were they farming referral bonus? But given how there's almost a 10%~15% house edge on sports betting, it's impossible to farm a referral bonus. Maths won't add up.

Different players have different limits on how much they can wager.  If they think you've found an edge somewhere, they lower your limits for those types of matches.  If they think you're a whale, you get higher limits. One way to get around the lower limits is just make a bunch of new accounts.  if you get caught you can always try to gain sympathy by posting on bitcointalk to try and extort Stake while pretending to be a girl from a country that just got invaded by Russia.

Before you start screaming about US being the liars, remember...Russia did annex Crimea. 

After a referendum by the people of Crimea which made it crystal clear that almost none of them had any interest in being terrorized by Nazi filth installed in Kiev by American neo-conservatives.




The American rebel that went so hard anti establishment he ended up pro Putin establishment.

Maybe because I feel sympathy for OP since she's a woman from Ukraine

In case you're naďve enough to just take their word, OP is an unknown person using a forum account that was created 3 days ago with the intention of convincing the community they are a victim.  Don't assume anything more or you'll end up with a broken heart in no time.

And even if you have verified their gender and country, scammers come in all shapes, sizes, genders and nationalities.  This is the internet.

That is objectively called lying! You're not going to raise any support by lying!
Speaking of lies, here's a list of Putins top 10 lies about Ukraine, according to the US Dept of State from back in 2014 after he annexed Crimea but before he admitted it publicly.

If they're asking for more and more kyc documents, ........


You are again not in touch with the thread. Please stop making replies. It's really not helping anyone.

They asked for more KYC in one email, almost 9 days back. OP even got a reply via Email on 30th May(5 days after submitting required KYC).
PLEASE CHECK MY SUMMARY TO UNDERSTAND THE TIMELINE.
Please go through the screenshots again.

I won't be discussing the other part of your reply since it's off topic. You are free to create a new topic, I will reply reply there.

If you believe 1xbit and 1xbet are the same companies, you are free to pursue it on some other thread.


I've seen them go silent for weeks while waiting for various investigations to be concluded while giving up very little info in the mean time.  What I haven't seen is any case where a player had their funds frozen simply because they had multiple accounts. 

It's weird how belligerent you're acting in defense of this unknown player, giving them the benefit of doubt with zero reputation making a claim about one of the most established sites in crypto (if you go back to the beginnings of primedice).  Were you offered any sort of compensation for successfully helping OP get paid? 

Regardless, I think you need to give Stunna some time to respond before making any conclusions.

Out of all the previous allegations on this forum against casinos you're familiar with, how often did you believe that the player was sharing the whole story and not intentionally leaving out or making up details in attempt to make themselves look like more of a victim than they really are...in order to pressure the casino to pay them money they aren't actually entitled to.

Like I said, Stake won't just freeze your funds because you have multiple accounts.  Don't be naive, there is more to this story,

If there was more to the story then why didn't Stake declare so in the communication?

Why did it become a problem only WHEN OP started to withdraw a substantial amount , which is coincidentally(?) equal to their profit.

Why did Stake ask for additional verification if it was for nothing?

I have raised these questions in my conclusion, so please refrain from making any additional replies which amount to nothing except for diluting the seriousness of OP's claim.

You have have already made up your decision, but it's based on a fallacy and biased reasoning.


And no, 1xbit is a small scam, they had an active sig campaign on this forum until last week.
They aren't the same. Bit and bet are different words too.



They haven't finished their investigation yet.  If they're asking for more and more kyc documents, it means they're investigating something and they think he's someone that's cheated somehow.  Probably someone they've caught multiple times.  Eventually he'll get an explanation. hopefully Stunna shares what he can in this thread.  My money is still on some sort of third party slot exploit.

I've been playing there pretty much since they launched, and prime dice before that, and I'm telling you, it's rare anyone get's their funds frozen.  Even when they ban accounts, they just put you in withdraw only mode.  You get caught living in a restricted country?  Still get paid.  Using a bunch of accounts for promos?  Still get paid.  If funds are frozen, it means they think you basically robbed them somehow.  And you gotta remember, someone that figures out how to rob them, they aren't just going to stop because they got caught.  THey're going to make another account and try again.  And when they do get caught, this forum gives them another shot at getting paid anyway - all they have to do is make the damage to stakes rep worth more than the amount they're trying to collect.

I could go find the posts with all the evidence, including court documents, linking 1xbit and 1xbet to the same Russian company, 1xCorp, despite the 1xbit rep insisting they were completely separate, but then you wouldn't learn how to figure it out for yourself.

There's no chance Stake would seize players money simply because they have more than one account.  I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of stake regulars have more than one account.  There's more to the story.
Like I said, check previous allegations on this forum.
Stake replies with a very descriptive reason when they ban someone.
This time it was clause 11, personal use - multiple accounts. They mentioned it explicitly not once, but twice AFTER suspending OP's account.

Please don't act it as if those screenshots don't even exist.

mainly due to winnings in the slot machine

What were your biggest wins, and on which games?


According to Stake OP had multiple accounts.
Check their Email response and my summary about it.

It isn't due to match fixing or rigging. From what I have seen from past cases. Stake is usually descriptive with such cases and leave nothing for interpretation(I checked previous allegations upon stake on this forum).

This one stands out as a genuine case and seems very 1xBet'esque.

This is what I mean by 1xbet'esque : https://youtu.be/ABj7peI_R2M

That video is just describing casinos.  They exist to make a profit, pretty much all of them.  That doesn't make all of them scam casinos like 1xbit, which, in the long run I would argue could be much more successful if scamming players wasn't part of their business model.

Hello everyone, I'm sorry if I write with errors, I do the translation through a translator because English is not my native language. I registered on this site about 2 weeks ago to bet on Rolland Garros, baseball and basketball. Passed 2 levels of verification on the site. Since May 21, she has made deposits of more than $100,000.
Here are some of my additions:

I also played casinos and slot machines at a rate of $20-100 per spin. I made withdrawals for about a total of about 80 thousand dollars, mainly due to winnings in the slot machine. I was also assigned the status of VIP platinum 3. After that, they made me the maximum bet on sports top events is very small and I wanted to withdraw my remaining 40 thousand dollars, but I was not allowed to do this. I contacted the chat and they told me that I need to write to them by mail, so I did. I waited for an answer by mail for exactly 5 days and they told me that I needed to send a selfie with a sheet of today's date and with a passport in my hand. I sent them everything they need. After waiting 3 more days, I received the following response:

Hello,

You have been banned on all of your accounts as you have been found guilty of breaching our terms of service (creating multiple accounts) as stated under item number 11. Prohibited Uses - Personal Use. Please see https://stake.com/policies/terms for further reference.

Regards,
Stake

I have no idea what multi-accounts they are talking about, and why was it necessary to ask me for my selfie if they are not going to pay anyway? My account is currently in the "withdrawal stage". But any conclusions are prohibited. I wrote to them in the chat, they also answered me that I need to write to them by mail. But the mail has been ignoring me for the 4th day. Please tell me who has come across this site and such an attitude towards customers? where should i file a complaint against them? I tried to write to Curacao, and I'm waiting for a response from them. I am also attaching some of my sports bets in case they suddenly want to accuse me of fictitious matches, as well as other participants in this forum. All bets were on top events.

Casino guru close the case and lower their score to 5.2 as questionable reputation.
They closed the complaint as unresolved under uncertain case and passive  regulator.

Shame on Casino Guru.  There's nothing questionable about the way ltc casino handled this situation.  They scammed you, and now with a garbage reputation they have even less incentive to pay the next big winner.  They should be telling players not to give ltccasino any business.

Russia is not a winner of this war, no matter the military outcome.
I don't understand, can you explain what you mean?

Remember back when Russia invaded all of Ukraine and tried to "decapitate the government"?  

Remember how everyone, including Western media and most or all posters in this thread, including myself thought it would not take long for Russia to accomplish their objectives?

Remember how, after failing to take the capital quickly, they spent weeks trying to encircle Kyiv?  

Remember how you thought they were intentionally not completely surrounding it to allow civilians to leave and "all who remained and did not lay down their weapons would be destroyed" and "it would be foolish to think otherwise"?

Remember how you were sure there would be a parade in Russian controlled Kyiv on victory day?

Remember how during all of this, Putin made a new law making it illegal to even call the war a war, because that would imply Ukraine posed some sort of threat to Russian soldiers?

Remember what happened after all that?  How Russia had to retreat, the flag ship of the Russian Navy was sunk, thousands and thousands of Russian soldiers were killed, and even Russian bloggers imbedded with the military that normally relay the State approved propaganda began criticizing the stupid decisions being made by those in charge?

I think that's what he means.

I still do not understand.

Their goal was to take Ukraine.

They tried, and failed at the cost of displacing millions and killing thousands of innocent people as well as uniting most of the world against them.  Not to mention, there's a very real possibility that Finland and Sweden will be joining Nato as a direct response to Putins careless behavior.  But the biggest loss for Russia is the fact that the world has realized that the Russian military is not as powerful as everyone thought.  Putin could have held on to that card for a long time, forever really.  But instead, he decided to play it - without any benefit for him or the Russian people.

They said they were going to solve the issue of the Eastern civilians getting shelled, and they pretty much say what the mean and mean what they say so it seems.
Quote
Nov. 12 – Peskov described media reports of Moscow’s plans to invade Ukraine as a “hollow and unfounded attempt to incite tensions.” “Russia doesn’t threaten anyone. The movement of troops on our territory shouldn’t be a cause for anyone’s concern,” Peskov said in a conference call with reporters.

Nov. 21 – “This hysteria is being artificially whipped up. We are being accused of some kind of unusual military activity on our territory by those who have brought in their armed forces from across the ocean,” Peskov said on Russian state TV. “That is, the United States of America. It’s not really logical or polite.”

Nov. 22 – In a report headlined “Kremlin: Russia is not going to attack anyone,” Pravda quotes Peskov as telling reporters: “Russia does not harbor any aggressive plans. It is completely wrong to say the opposite, and it is completely wrong to associate any movement of the Russian Armed Forces across the territory of our country with such plans. This is not true.”

Nov. 26 – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed he had evidence proving Russia is plotting a coup against him and his government. Peskov denied Russia’s involvement. “Russia has never had any plans to take part. Russia generally never engages in such matters,” Peskov said.

Nov. 28 – Russian officials accused the United States of waging a propaganda campaign. “Russia has never hatched, is not hatching and will never hatch any plans to attack anyone,” Peskov said. “Russia is a peaceful country, which is interested in good relations with its neighbors.”

Dec. 1 – U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged the use of diplomacy to settle the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, parts of which have been controlled by pro-Russian forces. Blinken warned that Russia could use the conflict in eastern Ukraine as a pretext for invading Ukraine. “The Russian playbook is to claim provocation for something that they were planning to do all along,” Blinken said.

Dec. 2 – In a conference call with reporters, Peskov justified the massive buildup of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border by accusing Ukraine of planning to use force to reclaim separatist regions in eastern Ukraine — a claim that Ukraine has denied. “The probability of hostilities in Ukraine still remains high,” Peskov said. (On Feb. 22, Putin recognized two separatist territories in eastern Ukraine as independent states and sent Russian troops into the Donbas region of Ukraine — the first step in what became a full-scale invasion two days later.)

Dec. 3 – A U.S. intelligence report warns that Russia is planning an attack on Ukraine in early 2022 with up to 175,000 troops, according to the Washington Post.  At the time, Russia had about 70,000 troops along the Ukrainian border, the intelligence report said.

Dec. 11 – In an interview on Greek TV, Peskov denied that Russian was planning to attack Ukraine, claiming that it was moving its forces in response to U.S. and Ukraine military movements. When asked if Russia was planning to attack Ukraine, Peskov said: “No, the problem is very simple. Russia is moving its forces within its territory and we can move our forces in any direction we want and closer to the areas that could pose a threat [and currently] we see US warplanes landing in Ukraine and US military equipment approaching our borders.”

Dec. 12 – In a video on state TV, Peskov denied that Russia is to blame for the mounting concerns about Ukraine’s fate. “The current … tensions and so on are being created to further demonize Russia and cast it as a potential aggressor,” Peskov said.

Dec. 31 – After a 50-minute phone call between Biden and Putin, a Kremlin aide told the New York Times that Putin was uncomfortable with NATO encroachment in the region and that Russia would “conduct itself as the United States would behave if offensive weapons were near the United States.”

2022
Jan. 11 – A day after the U.S. urged Russia to pull back its troops during talks in Geneva, Russian troops and tanks engaged in live-fire military exercises near the Ukrainian border. Peskov wasn’t optimistic that the talks would be successful. “We will not be satisfied with the endless dragging out of this process,” he said.

In a press conference after the Geneva talks, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said Russia had no intent to invade Ukraine. “Essentially it is said that Russia wants to trade its, quote-unquote, threat against Ukraine for more flexibility on the part of U.S. and the West,” Ryabkov said. “This is not the case because we have no intention to invade Ukraine. And thus, there is nothing to trade with.”

“We have told our colleagues that we have no plans to attack,” Ryabkov said. “All combat training for the troops is carried out on our national territory and there is no reason to fear an escalation scenario in this regard.”

Jan. 16 – Ukraine said it had evidence that Russia was behind a massive cyberattack on Ukrainian government websites. In a CNN interview, Peskov dismissed the attack as a “dangerous coincidence.” He said, “So we are nearly accustomed to the fact that Ukrainians are blaming everything on Russia, even their bad weather in their country.” (The U.S. later attributed additional cyberattacks against Ukraine in early February to Russia.)

Jan. 19 – In a press conference, Biden said he expects Putin to order an invasion of Ukraine. “My guess is he will move in. He has to do something,” Biden said. Biden added that he doesn’t think Putin wants “any full-blown war,” but “[d]o I think he’ll test the West, test the United States and NATO as significantly as he can? Yes, I think he will. But I think he’ll pay a serious and dear price for it that he doesn’t think now will cost him what it’s going to cost him. And I think he will regret having done it.”

That day, Ryabkov again insisted Russia was only engaging in military training exercises and did not intend to invade Ukraine. “There is no risk of a large-scale war to start to unfold in Europe,” he told CNN. “We do not want and will not take any action of aggressive character. We will not attack, strike, invade, quote unquote, whatever Ukraine.”

Jan. 24 – At a daily briefing in Moscow, Peskov accused Ukraine of preparing for a military offensive against pro-Russian separatists in the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine, and blamed the U.S. and NATO for escalating tensions. “In general, we state and would like to draw your attention to the fact that the escalation of tension is carried out through information actions and concrete actions taken by the United States of America and NATO,” Peskov said. “Speaking about information actions, I mean the information hysteria that we are witnessing. It is generously framed by a huge amount of false information, just lies — I mean those very fakes.”

Jan. 28 – In a radio interview, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, “There won’t be a war as far as it depends on the Russian Federation, we don’t want a war. But we won’t let our interests be rudely trampled on and ignored.”

Feb. 3 – In response to Russia’s 100,000 troops surrounding Ukraine, Biden ordered 2,000 U.S.-based troops to NATO members Poland and Germany. In response, Peskov blamed the U.S. for “escalating tensions” in Europe, saying Russian concerns about NATO’s expansion into Eastern Europe are “absolutely justified.”

Feb. 12 – After another unfruitful phone call between Biden and Putin, U.S. officials warned that a Russian attack on Ukraine could come at any time. A Kremlin aide accused the West of creating “hysteria.” “The Americans are artificially inflating the hysteria around the so-called planned Russian invasion,” Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters after the call between Biden and Putin. “The preconditions for possible provocative actions of the Ukrainian armed forces are being created alongside these allegations.”

Feb. 15 – Following talks with the German chancellor, Putin told the press there had been a “partial withdrawal of troops from the area of our military exercises.” “Yes, a decision has been made to pull out part of the troops,” he said. “What will Russia do next? Russia will act according to plan. What is the plan? The plan is based on the actual situation on the ground. Who can say how the actual situation will develop? Nobody at this point. There are other parties to consider. But it is our intention and resolve to reach agreement with our partners on the matters we put on the table, by diplomatic means. These matters are well known: with respect to Russia’s security, it is the non-expansion of NATO and the withdrawal of the bloc’s military infrastructure to the 1997 positions, and non-deployment of missile strike systems near our borders. I think everything is clear.”

Feb. 18 – Despite Kremlin insistence that it did not intend to invade, Biden said in a press conference, “We have reason to believe the Russian forces are planning to and intend to attack Ukraine in the coming week — in the coming days. We believe that they will target Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, a city of 2.8 million innocent people.  … As of this moment, I’m convinced he’s made the decision. We have reason to believe that.”

Feb. 21 – In a lengthy address to the Russian people, Putin laid out his case for ordering troops into the separatist-held regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine, and left open the possibility of military attack on Ukraine. “I would like to be clear and straightforward: In the current circumstances, when our proposals for an equal dialogue on fundamental issues have actually remained unanswered by the United States and NATO, when the level of threats to our country has increased significantly, Russia has every right to respond in order to ensure its security,” Putin said. “That is exactly what we will do.”

Feb. 22 – Russian tanks enter Ukraine’s Donbas region on what Russian officials described as a peace-keeping mission.

Feb. 23 – Answering questions from the media, Putin condemned the West for supplying weapons to Ukraine and said, “Therefore, the most important point is the demilitarisation, to a certain extent, of today’s Ukraine because it is the only factor that can be objectively controlled, monitored and responded to.” Putin also accused Ukraine of harboring “nuclear ambitions,” which he said is “totally unacceptable.” (The Washington Post Fact Checker called this accusation “sheer fantasy.”)

Feb. 24 – Russia launches a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In a conference call with reporters, Peskov said it was “unacceptable” to describe Russia as an occupying force in Ukraine — despite Russia’s widespread attacks against Ukraine’s cities and military bases.

It looks like the eastern front of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass has crumbled.

You mean crumbled as in "the Ukrainians are still fighting but do not have enough sausages supplies?". Stop faking news while you fellow Russian die by the hundreds for a ridiculous snail-like advance. Adolf Putin is sending all the cannon fodder he has and still managing to get most of it meat-grinded.

I recommend focusing less on the reports of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to avoid painful disappointments.

By the way, quite recently you, choking with joy, talked about the American M777 howitzers, and so - they could not withstand the collision with reality and were not combat-ready. The Ukrainians never really managed to shoot accurately from them.  Grin

RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE CAMPAIGN ASSESSMENT, MAY 28

Quote
The Russian invasion of Ukraine that aimed to seize and occupy the entire country has become a desperate and bloody offensive to capture a single city in the east while defending important but limited gains in the south and east. Ukraine has twice forced Putin to define down his military objectives. Ukraine defeated Russia in the Battle of Kyiv, forcing Putin to reduce his subsequent military objectives to seizing Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in eastern Ukraine. Ukraine stopped him from achieving that aim as well, forcing him to focus on completing the seizure of Luhansk Oblast alone. Putin is now hurling men and munitions at the last remaining major population center in that oblast, Severodonetsk, as if taking it would win the war for the Kremlin. He is wrong. When the Battle of Severodonetsk ends, regardless of which side holds the city, the Russian offensive at the operational and strategic levels will likely have culminated, giving Ukraine the chance to restart its operational-level counteroffensives to push Russian forces back.

The Russians are paying a price for their current tactical success that is out of proportion to any real operational or strategic benefit they can hope to receive. Severodonetsk itself is important at this stage in the war primarily because it is the last significant population center in Luhansk Oblast that the Russians do not control. Seizing it will let Moscow declare that it has secured Luhansk Oblast fully but will give Russia no other significant military or economic benefit. This is especially true because Russian forces are destroying the city as they assault it and will control its rubble if they capture it. Taking Severodonetsk can open a Russian ground line of communication (GLOC) to support operations to the west, but the Russians have failed to secure much more advantageous GLOCs from Izyum partly because they have concentrated so much on Severodonetsk.

I mean sure Hitler is responsible for all the killings, but he did it in the name of his nation and aryan race, so how about making him a hero too (just need to stress that it's not for the genocide part but for caring about his nation).

You have an unhealthy obsession with Hitler.

Here is what Ukrainians were up against besides Hitler:

The Holodomor [...] as a man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians.

[...]

While scholars universally agree that the cause of the famine was man-made, whether or not the Holodomor constitutes a genocide remains in dispute. Some historians conclude that the famine was planned and exacerbated by Joseph Stalin to eliminate a Ukrainian independence movement.

The Vinnytsia massacre was the mass execution of between 9,000 and 11,000 people in the Ukrainian town of Vinnytsia by the Soviet secret police NKVD during the Great Purge or Yezhovshchina in 1937–1938

The Bykivnia graves [...] was one of the unmarked mass grave sites where the NKVD, the Soviet secret police, disposed of thousands of executed "enemies of the Soviet state".

The number of dead bodies buried there is estimated between "dozens of thousand," to 30,000, to 100,000 though some estimates place the number as high as 200,000.

From the early 1920s until late 1940s throughout the Stalinist purges, the Soviet government hauled the bodies of tortured and killed political prisoners to the pine forests outside the village of Bykivnia and buried them in a grave that spanned 15,000 square metres (160,000 sq ft). So far, 210 separate mass graves have been identified by Polish and Ukrainian archaeologists working at the site.

The NKVD prisoner massacres were a series of mass executions of political prisoners carried out by the NKVD, the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union, across Eastern Europe, primarily Poland, Ukraine, the Baltic states, and Bessarabia. After the start of the German invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, the NKVD troops were supposed to evacuate political prisoners into the interior of the Soviet Union, but the hasty retreat of the Red Army, the lack of transportation and other supplies and the general disregard for legal procedures often meant that the prisoners were executed.

Estimates of the death toll vary between locations; nearly 9,000 in the Ukrainian SSR, 20,000–30,000 in eastern Poland (now part of Western Ukraine), with the total number reaching approximately 100,000 victims of extrajudicial executions in the span of a few weeks.

Sounds eerily familiar these days.

Fun fact: Russia's glorious forever-president is a former officer of the KGB (the agency was known as NKVD at the time when the above atrocities were committed). But that's probably just a coincidence, nothing to do with him being a genocidal psychopath like the decades-worth of other NKVD/KGB agents.

might want to dial down your propaganda, you seem to have it set at 11

Gotta love Putin's copypasta boys accusing others of "propaganda".


Imagine if, instead of joining NATO and completely distancing itself from all things Nazi related, including making it a crime to show any type of support for the Nazis, Germany built up their military/nuclear arsenal and eventually started annexing/invading countries with reasons like "we are just de-sovieting them", eventually displacing millions of innocent people, sending thousands to "camps",  and starting the largest war since WW2.

That's what Russia is doing right now.  And I didn't even mention the whole genocide part.
