“In the invasion of Ukraine and occupation of Ukrainian land since 2014, Russia has committed many acts of terrorism. It is guilty of mass murder, extensive destruction of civilian properties, mass abduction, including the abduction of children on a systemic scale, rape, torture and environmental destruction. Evidence now being accumulated proves that Russia is a state sponsor of terrorism – a terrorist state.”
I guess the opinion is on Why, not on That.
That’s not really an opinion, that’s a fact.
brave opinion, this one
To add:
“What should Russia do with Ukraine?” [Translation of a propaganda article by a Russian publication]
“Denazification will inevitably include de-ukrainization — the rejection of the large-scale artificial inflation of the ethnic component in the self-identification of the population of the historical Malorossiya and Novorossiya territories, which was started by the Soviet authorities. Being a tool of the Communist superpower, this artificial ethnocentrism was not left unclaimed after its fall. It was transferred in its subservient role to a different superpower (the power above states) — the superpower of the West. It needs to be brought back within its natural boundaries and stripped of political functionality.”
A Wannsee Konferenz alike document, aimed to the eradication of Ukrainians.
Russia is a terrorist state, because it uses political terror against its own population. That’s it. Specific aspects of a country’s foreign policy may be a reason to label it as a state sponsor of terrorism, but that would mostly apply to places like Iran or Qatar, not Russia.
Who knows, they could be the best country in the world with all resources they have but instead they choose to fuck everything up each time
Not an opinion if it’s a fact
Uh, because they keep terrorizing every other country to try and bring the West down to the cesspool that Russia is?
Look at every country that Russia has a hand in spreading disinformation, buying off politicians, corrupting election systems, etc. Every single one of them is worse off.
A murderous totalitarian post-communist regime. Full on terrorist would be launching nuclear missiles at Ukrainian schools and hospitals.

How does labeling Russian state this or that change anything on the ground? Call Russia a terrorist state, an autocracy, totalitarianist state or any other label you like. It doesn’t translate to anything tangible on the gound in Ukraine.
With Russia almost everything was clear even before the war. Now more important another question.
A little thought experiment…
Iran was attacked Israel. Or China was attacked Taiwan. Or Russia was attacked Poland. Whatever.
In response, USA started to help. But not so much that they could fight off the attacker, but so they could slowly, “de-escalatory”, weaken it, reducing risks for the USA.
Question, not from legal, but from moral standpoint (Christian and humanistic values), how much will the USA be to blame if the war drags on for years? On 0%? On 10%? More?
Also, how much such USA theoretical guilt will correlate with the fact that, before the war, USA has allowed to Israel create nuclear deterrence, and so de-escalation lever, but not to Taiwan and Poland, promising them an alternative?
I agree
There are about 193 countries in the world. Who, besides those who are members of NATO and are vassals of the United States, will agree that Russia is a terorestist state?
*fact
With that logic, US and Nato would be contenders too. Double standards.
Isn’t “terrorist-state” sort of an oxymoron? Given the fact thay terrorism is by definition carried out by non-state actors?
Go away FSB you are drunk, there is no opinion but facts
Yes, just like Israel
The issue is that “terrorist state” doesn’t mean much from the legal point of view. The US has refused to designate Russia as a “state sponsor of terrorism”, which brings about much harsher sanctions.
Opinion? It’s factually true.
Vodka, vodka and vodka is the problem. Like drunk ass step dad. They’re so ashamed of their behavior but they don’t have the courage to own it and begin to make up for it. The only thing that makes them feel better is more vodka…then more bad behavior…more destructive behavior…then more shame…then vodka you get the picture. someone has to break the cycle
Russia is a terrorist state like Israel is a liberal Democracy that follows international law.

“He claims that Ukrainians must “assimilate the experience” of the war “as a historical lesson and atonement for [their] guilt”. After the war, [forced labor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_labour), imprisonment and the death penalty would be used as punishment. After that, the population would be “integrated” into “[Russian civilization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_civilization)” The author describes the planned actions as a “[decolonization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decolonization)” of Ukraine.^(“)
