    It’s probably in reference to NATO countries supplying Ukraine with weapons on the provision they are not used in Russian territory. This meme is potentially implying that NATO shouldn’t care about a direct war with Russia.

    The reason it would be using LOTR is because DAE Ruzzians is orcs?

    But don’t worry, this time the racism against the enemy is justified since they are inherently different, and not even european. They have a completely different outlook on death, and don’t value their own or each other’s lives. Also the same with China.

        You can be an ethnic Russian. That’s kind of besides the point though, “racial” boundaries are very often blurred and a hard and fast division of peoples is inherently a generalisation.

          Ethnicity is also not race. It’s dumb to try to accuse people of “racism” against russians

            Whatever, plain old xenophobic hatred then. It’s a good thing pedantry is alive and well.

              It’s not xenophobia either; russia is the invader and oppressor, with overwhelming popular support domestically. Using derogatory terms for an oppressor that’s raping, torturing, and murdering isn’t any kind of phobia.

          Russia litteraly declared war and invaded Ukraine for an ethnic purge. They can stay in Russia if they don’t want to die from western weapons.

        Maybe, but this meme is clearly in reference to the restrictions on supplied weapons to Ukraine. The LOTR link I might be reading into a bit much, but the prevalence of the term orc and the trotting out of the Asiatic horde trope made me primed to see it in this.

      That’s not true, they value the life of a Russian to the equivalent value of a Lada.
