Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a decree formally withdrawing Ukraine from the Ottawa Convention on anti-personnel landmines. The move coincided with the exit from the treaty by countries along NATO's eastern flank, including Poland and the Baltics. Sputnik asked leading Russian and US military experts about the move's likely consequences.

      This is genuine racism, holy shit. “Simple minded orcs?” Blaming the conflict on the inherent intellectual inferiority of the asiatic slavs, who you call “orcs” due to their asiatic features? This is straight up WWII Nazi propaganda levels of racism.

          “Orcs” were based on asiatic features, similar to the Mongol armies. The association with “orcs” is based on ethnicity, driving an image of an ugly, warlike species with no regard for life.

            Strongly resisting the urge to go on a rant about how CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien would get into arguments regarding how hamfisted and Hitlerian their biblical analogies should be

                Maybe in a full post. I also need to explain the whole Peter Thiel thing (with relation to US postwar financial imperialism) and post more about Indian communists, I will add it to the stack

      You are writing fanfiction based off of propaganda NATO is recycling from the Cold War. Literal Asiatic hordes.

          That’s a dumb reason to fall for propaganda they used on your grandfather. Is it something in the water, maybe?
