Unsurprising. Also, I think at this point WikiLeaks is now really an arm of Russian Intelligence, having been hollowed out over years. Assange has outlived his usefulness and can be disposed of - maybe, as somebody suggested before, he realizes this and is now trying to play up the martyr card.

I hate commies immensely, but that was at the very end of a conflict wherein Germans literally waged a war to exterminate the Russian people. 1/3 of Russian prisoners of war were murdered before they even made it to a camp. Nazis wiped out whole cities as a matter of course. Hitler fought the Russians in a way that went beyond fighting Bolshevism and was more akin to an attempted genocide. He refused surrenders from Leningrad because he wanted the whole city to die. Up to 10 million Russians were killed - not casualties, actual deaths - in that war, double that of the Germans. If you eliminate every other theater of war except the Eastern Front it's still the most devastating war in human history.

The rape and looting of Berlin was a tragedy but let's not act like it is a uniquely Communist thing to loot and pillage the capital of the country that inflicted that upon you in a surprise attack after your government tried to appease them for years. It's sadly, extremely human. Things like Stalin's Dachau on the Black Sea is more emblematic of commie hypocrisy than a soldier looting Berlin.

(Sorry, I might be going through Hardcore History's series on the eastern front)

I understand where you're coming from. When they came to my family's village they loaded all of the women and children onto trains headed back to Germany so that they would be sorted out and used as domestic servants after the war. This also cleared up the land for German settlers. My grandmother escaped through a hole in the bottom of the train without which your favorite Nigonidas may not exist. The Germans fought with such cruelty on that front we always hear about muh 600 trillion but it's often neglected that this crap was not happening in France or any other occupied areas except for the eastern front. War crimes are war crimes and a thief is a thief but it can't be forgotten that a whole race was faced with extermination in that war. Not just the jews. So yeah, I can understand the fierceness of the Russian counterattack.

This is incredibly reminiscent of that time the Soviet forces rose their flag over the Reichstag during the Battle of Berlin. They used the picture of the raising as a propaganda picture, but they had to edit the picture since one of the soldiers had watches on both arms which hinted to him and other Soviet soldiers looting German stores

So then that just goes to show that between that and Venezuela, even with the cape of Liberators on them, the commie is still a thief at his base form. Whoda fuckin thunk it

Almost as though every country looted stuff. Americans even took skulls as ashtrays and arms as backscratchers.

"Wealth we must generate. Kind of wealth only generated by capitalism."
 
So I decided to check the steam profile of this venezuelan guy I met on a MMO once.

Old article, but worth going over, as it give insight into the mindset those left wingers who still support the Maduro regime.
The card is absolutely voluntary and 18 million Venezuelan have obtained the card of their own free will, with no coercion or blackmail.

I like how in this article they make a huge effort to run home the alleged fact that it was of everyone's free will, with no coercion or blackmail as much as possible. I think that's the third time I read that & I'm not even halfway through the article.
 
Kinda funny how a lot of leftists are pro-Maduro, especially since the dude is super rich and his main political enemy is a social democrat.

They are not pro-Maduro. They are anti-American.

Give them a war against theocracy, and they'll back the theocracy.
