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.
According to the regional news outlet FederalPress, Alikhanov attributed “the global chaos, the global realignment that we are now facing” to the influential thinker.
Alikhanov claimed that Kant’s works have contributed to a “social and cultural situation” in which “the West has violated all agreements that had been reached.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who ordered troops to invade Ukraine nearly two years ago, often frames the war as part of a larger conflict with the West.
Kant lived in the East Prussian city of Koenigsberg between 1724 and 1804.
Koenigsberg became the Russian city of Kaliningrad after the Soviet army captured it during World War II, and this philosopher’s tomb is located there to this day.
Kant is a central figure of modern philosophy and is still widely well-regarded in modern-day Kaliningrad.
““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.”
There is some serious shit being smoked in mafia land. Kant is responsible for invading Ukraine, but putler is innocent.
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table
David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as sloshed as Schlegel
There’s nothing Nietzche couldn’t teach ya
‘Bout the raising of the wrist
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato, they say, could stick it away
Half a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram
And René Descartes was a drunken fart
“I drink, therefore I am”
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker
But a bugger when he’s pissed

I more convinced then ever that the population of Moskali take daily stupid pills with an occasional idiot pill for good measure
Topped up with a healthy dose of krokodil.
Oh, brother!
It must be the hair tonic the ruskies often resort to guzzling when the cheap vodka runs out.
In a reasonable country, such a nutcase wouldn’t be governor of anything.
