The governor of western Russia’s Kaliningrad region blamed the 18th-century German enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant for the outbreak of war in Ukraine. “He is directly related to the military conflict in Ukraine,” Anton Alikhanov, who governs the western exclave of Kaliningrad, said Friday at a local political science forum.
Remember the time Kant’s categorical imperative massed hundreds of thousands of troops for a “training exercise” along the border of a sovereign neighbor state, loudly protesting concerns it was preparing for a ground invasion?
Then when it did invade that neighbor, on the most cynically pretextual grounds imaginable, and began a wholesale slaughter of innocent men, women, and children?
Remember when Kant did that?
Nobody else does either, but it will be a generational memory for Russia to live down now. Hope the good governor gets cancer of the anus talking that kind of shit.

Well. Having to live in Russia and apparently feeling the urge to make these kind of ludicrous comments on a regular basis to please this insane mobster state and ensure it won’t be your turn to be dropped out of the nearest window for the next couple of months seems to be a punishment in itself.
So they are trying to blame the loss of success or the whole war on something else than themselves. Interesting.
That Kant possibly be true?!?!
-
mr governor, why war was initiated?
-
so it all started in the Plato’s cave,
Once upon a time, fish left the water. This event was later deemed the root cause for all wars.
I wish the article went into more detail about the argument. Not because it probably makes sense but because I have a philosophy degree
