For those of us against the Russian invasion of Ukraine and want to see the war end we are mislabeled as being "pro Russia" or "A friend of Putin," and other such silly nonsense by pro war crackpots and morons who make up that bullshit just because we are not on their side or disagree that there should be a war at all. One of their "insults" for us that pops up sometimes is vatnik. Which the original meaning is a warm, quilted Russian winter coat. That is what they are calling us. Something that helps to keep warm while protecting the wearer from freezing to death so in a way it is a compliment since the vatnik is doing something good. It also means someone who believes in Russian propaganda but since it is a word that still has an original term, I take it they are calling us anti war folk winter coats. This is not at all like the word "Gay" where the original meaning, of being happy, no longer applies. If you go to Russia, or perhaps any store that has Russian clothing, and ask for a vatnik then you will get a winter coat. One should not expect those who think that being anti war equals being pro Russia to make any sense with their lame attempts at an insult. If they want to double down on their idiocy, nothing can be done to change that. How did the vatnik become the most popular clothing in the USSR – and why is it now a term of abuse? Warm, windproof and, most importantly, cheap. This was the classic vatnik – a padded jacket stuffed with cotton wool. In the Soviet Union, the whole country wore this kind of jacket: soldiers, students, workers, prisoners, builders, drivers and others. www.rbth.com/history/334704-vatnik-popular-clothing-ussr![]()  Vatnik  Not a vatnik. If she is a vatnik to you then either you are gay or you are on drugs that I want to try! |

This might be your dumbest argument yet. Ooooo. So edgy! Yeah, that's right. When on the spot with an undisputed fact just resort to insults instead. |

For those of us against the Russian invasion of Ukraine and want to see the war end we are mislabeled as being "pro Russia" or "A friend of Putin,"Because you heavily ignore Russia's offensive which is the main reason people are dying, and focus all of your criticism on the US and Ukraine's defensive position which is saving lives. |

^Vatnik. You spout Russian propaganda all the time. More of a useful idiot. They legitimately believe the US provoked the war for the gain of the military-industrial complex, neglecting the fact that Russia has been influencing and invading former USSR states for quite some time now. Not a peep about that, though. They can see only our imperialism and alleged machinations but don't recognize that other states also play the same game in an interconnected world. |

The reason why you're labeled "pro Russia" and "a friend of Putin" is because you want to see the war end with Russia's victory. It's not complicated. |

It’s absurd how people get called “Russian shills” for saying this war in Ukraine is a scam that was provoked by America to enrich the MIC, because it’s the truth. It’s insane to give over $100 billion to Ukraine and to sabotage all peace talks. America/the West definitely provoked this war by instigating the CIA coup in 2014 to oust the Ukrainian government for being too closely tied to Russia, and it’s clear Dumbo Joe and his administration want this war to continue so the MIC can make a huge profit. It’s not like Ukraine is some pure innocent victim in all of this, Ukraine is a shithole fighting another shithole in Russia, both Putin and Zelensky are dictators and bad people, and this war is bad vs bad, not good vs evil. Saying this doesn’t make someone a Russian shill. The people who cheer on this war are shills for the mainstream media and the Dumbo Joe administration though.
