I'm not surprised by your joy at the death of the defending victims against the offending aggressors. Why do you berate colonization of Ukraine, but then defend the colonization of everywhere else? You talk about people living in Crimea, What about the people living in the rest of The Ukraine? Putin invaded Crimea in 2014 friend, you admit you are still continuing that war, which means it is not about a fight for Russian culture. It is a fight to destroy Ukrainians. The world will never support that because only someone without morals would.

I usually try not to quote incoherent nonsense, hoping that you yourself understand that you write nonsense to provoke a reaction. But if you insist so, then tell me, when did I express joy over someone's death?

> I am not surprised by your joy at the death of an enemy. Data for 1897, for which territory were collected? The Russian Empire contributed to the widespread dissemination of the Russian language. The British, Spanish and Portuguese empires spread English, Spanish and Portuguese respectively. Do you propose to return to the situation in the sphere of distribution of these languages to the state before colonization? People currently living in the Crimea decide for themselves which years are considered dog years.

this guy is not my enemy. how could he be my enemy, as i dont know him. i just wanted to point out that the quote doesnt make too much sense, especially when it comes to chronology. he said that crimean citizens had the ukrainian language imposed on them and that this has been going on for about 20 years, when the first laws like that came in 2016 as a result of the very event he is trying to legitimize. time only moves backwards in Putins "ministry of truth" where

"WAR IS PEACE"
"FREEDOM IS SLAVERY"
"IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH"
"2+2=5"

for the rest of us shit happens and we have to deal with it. we cant rewrite history.

No my friend, what you do is show your fear and lack of a retort to my points. Which means you concede them before everyone in the shadows reading. It seems you are not aware of this.

First show me where @Rookitiki showed "joy at the death of an enemy" in post #2 as you first claimed he did yourself. I am merely showing you your hypocrisy again. Which again, it seems you are not aware of.

@ujcn
That sounds to me like you're just relying on isolated anecdotes and the concept of "dibs" to justify an invasion.

The dude does seem rather interesting, though. Some additional background on Babitsky that I dug up, for those of you who are curious:
Babitsky was a Russian war reporter who, during the battle of Grozny, entered the city and reported that civilians were still there during the Russian bombings, despite Russian claims to the contrary. Contact with him was lost on January 15, 2000. Russian officials denied responsibility. On January 28, Russian authorities admitted that he had been detained, kidnapped, and placed in a prison camp by Russian forces. It appears that he was released as part of a hostage exchange with the Chechens, but I can't verify that. Vladimir Putin later accused him of treason.

His claims regarding Ukraine generally seemed to downplay the involvement of Russia, instead portraying the 2014 annexation of Crimea as part of a "civil war" within the Ukraine. I'm not sure why he thought that Russia was part of the Ukraine.

As Gary Kasparov calls them, they are time travellers.

Don't know why are people here are against OP.
Even if it's death of some leader of opposition, it's sad. RIP!

Babitsky stated this in March 2015 in an interview with the Czech newspaper Lidove noviny.
Unfortunately, I can't say for him why he said that.

Because Putin started the war in 2014 after Ukrainian had a revolution for their independence and to join the EU. @clousems said in #15:

Putin seems to have been inciting this since he started the war in 2014. So it must of been to his amazement that many Russians are fighting against him. He must of been shocked he was not able to take Eastern Ukraine very easily. We see interviews of Russians living in Ukraaine trying to volunteer even though they won't let them. Or see them making Molotov cocktails, even though they have brothers fighting in the Putin army! It is such a sad situation. It certainly feels like a civil war of brother against brother. But it is of Russia vs Ukraine! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRod4cqHuYY

According to this Russian member of Parliament. There are as many Russians fighting for Ukraine as there are in the Azov Battlaion. And what this man is saying not only is The Ukraine fighting for freedom everywhere. That Includes for the Russian people living in Russia.
