Ceasefire ended.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has ended a unilateral ceasefire with separatists in the east, saying: "We will attack, we will free our land."

Mr Poroshenko said the chance for peace was lost because of the "criminal activities" of pro-Russian militants.

[smjjames]

So much for peace then. Kind of hard to maintain a ceasefire when the other side doesn't acttually obey it.

[Loud Whispers]

Am I the only one here who dislikes his own country?

I hate all countries, I just hate the ones flooded with postmodernists more.

[TD1]

Depends on what you mean by country. People? Land? Government?

[Ukrainian Ranger]

So it begins.
I'll assume that this ten days were necessary for political game, still the price is high....



Meanwhile in USA:

Spoiler: Facepalm (click to show/hide)

I suggest them to take that rainbow flag and have a walk somewhere in Donetsk...

oh

ye

gods.

this is a miracle of the universe.

Do those people even know what they are talking about?

Also, what does the q stand for, quasi-sexual? Never seen a q added to the LBGT acronym before.

[LordSlowpoke]

quasisexual is the best term but no, that's for queer apparently? or questioning or quasimodo though of all things to slap a quasimodo onto lgbt would be very silly and a tad bit out of character for an actual non-tumblr pride parade

[Sheb]

It's queer. Which AFAIK is a bit of a "none of the above, but still not mainstreamsexual", although someone might correct me on that.

And I should probably send those people my medical bill for treating my facepalm injuries.

[smjjames]

Except 'queer' is a derogatory term for LBGT people. So, why would they add that to the acronym.

Again, I don't think those people have any idea what they are talking about.

[palsch]

Googled "Solidarity with the anti-fascist resistance in Ukraine".

Facepalmed.

Although to be fair I stopped listening to STWC a while ago.

Also it might just be my personal google history and location, but I got a full page of British leftists along the same lines. Mostly Communist or Marxist groups which, in the UK, tend to still have a nostalgia for the USSR and Stalinism, but still... Deep in page two I found this.

Also, what does the q stand for, quasi-sexual? Never seen a q added to the LBGT acronym before.

Like Sheb said, generally queer as a catch-all (and a few people who simply identify as queer rather than any other specific label) but sometimes can include questioning. I've even seen LGBTQQ to include both, and the occasionally popular QUILTBAG.

Damn Gay being homophobe and shit!

More seriously, there is a whole mess of variants. I think FABGLITTER is my favorite.

[LordSlowpoke]

coming back to this whole thing, aren't the separatists hella conservative i mean they shouted stuff like eurosodom etc.

if i didn't do a bit of research beforehand and find out they're legit stupid i'd justify this as a stealth insult

The irredentists (especially in Crimea) love to call their fight a fight against "Fascists" in Kiev, despite agreeing with pretty much every single part of Fascist doctrine. Idiot leftists who just want an excuse to attack US foreign policy are selectively blind to this.

Now that I learned it's a thing, so do I. FABGLITTER. I mean come on now, it's just awesome.
