Based On This

according to yousef (@/ph_youseeff on instagram) there are about 60K patients with chronic diseases in gaza who have not received treatment for more than 100 days. yousef himself is a cancer patient who had started treatment a month before the genocide started. his recovery chances was estimated at 95%. now he says he’s not sure if he’ll even survive let alone think about his recovery chances.

imagine that… but with 60K people. all suffering from chronic illnesses and unable to get treatment due to the constant bombardments and artillery shootings, the blocking of aid from entering the gaza strip, and the defunding of organisations that provide aid and support to civilians in gaza.

i cannot stress enough how important it is to speak up.

The sheer scale of destruction in Gaza right now.

is this the transgender aliens in prison trump was talking about idk bro

one thing i’m slowly picking up on is that a lot of the people who are saying ‘ukraine should negotiate with putin’ don’t actually realise that this war did not begin in february 2022. this war has been going on for over 8 years, and the february invasion was the final nail in the coffin that made ukraine go ‘enough. we cannot appease putin anymore, we cannot negotiate, we simply have to fight back’. 

yanukovych was elected as president in 2012 on a ‘tighter ties with the EU’ platform. he proceeded to betray that platform, cosying up with putin and attempting to take ukraine in a direction which involved closer economic ties to russia. that decision triggered the euromaidan protests of 2013-14, the deaths of hundreds of ukrainian civilians, and eventually yanukovych fled to russia where he was granted asylum by putin himself. the berkut (special military forces) were dissolved, and with yanukovych gone ukraine signed the trade agreement with the EU. these events are known as the ‘revolution of dignity’.

putin’s response to this (ukraine’s pointed desire to be aligned with western europe, not russia) was to invade and annexe crimea. russian military presence was escalated on the peninsula, and nuclear threats were made (sound familiar?) to prevent ukraine and/or the west from doing anything to return crimea to ukrainian control. despite ukraine risking so much to become more aligned with the west, the west did nothing about this for fear of nuclear attacks. ukraine was told to just accept it, that this annexation was a necessary sacrifice for wider peace.

in 2015, putin began to send militant forces into eastern ukraine to actively back russian-separatist voices in the donbass. on a fundamental level, ukraine lost control of donetsk and luhansk due to putin shoving mercenaries into the region. similar to how putin actively placed russians into crimea to prove it was majority russia, he began to do the same in donetsk and luhansk. unlike crimea, however, there was no ‘official annexation’ declaration made… at least, not until february 2022, the day before the full scale invasion.

add in multiple cyber-attacks, false propaganda being promoted, and a year of military build up on the russo-ukraine border throughout 2021 and into 2022, and there is absolutely no argument that can be viably made against the fact that this war has been going on for almost a decade. and fundamentally, i don’t think a lot of people actually realise that. they realise putin is a maniac who believes ukraine is not a valid country, but they don’t realise that this invasion in february 2022 was not just a random decision putin made. it was the next logical step (in his mind) considering every step he’s made in the last decade has been met with appeasement, appeasement, appeasement. he has faced next to no consequences for what he’s done to ukraine. and so of course that has then made him go ‘excellent, time for another round then’.

the end to this war is full russian withdrawal. that is the only end to this war, the only end we should accept, and the only end which will actually be an end. putin’s threat of using nuclear war was precisely why the world did nothing as he annexed crimea. and it set a precedent that he could use that threat again and face no consequences. of course ukraine is fighting back. of course the world is backing them. we have to. we must. this war did not begin in 2022, it began many years before that. to quote zelenskyy, “everything started with crimea, and everything will end with crimea.”

ukrainian liberation (and that absolutely includes crimea) is coming. the trajectory of this war is only going in one direction, and that’s in ukraine’s favour. appeasing putin is what will make this war drag out for another decade or so, because we’ve tried appeasement for close to a decade already. and it didn’t work. it led to putin believing he had the right to begin a full scale invasion.

The pilot animatic for Wander Over Yonder has been found and preserved by user Derps on YouTube! Huzzah!

Don't forget it's still free Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Yemen, West Papua, Tigray, Haiti, Burma/Myanmar, Uyghurs, Syria, Kashmir, Cameroon, Armenia and Kurdistan.

Regardless of who you are or where you come from, if you do not feel outrage, anguish, and grief for these innocent lives lost, something is amiss, and you must consider why you lack the drive to take action.

Their fight should be considered our fight, as it is one for human rights.
