@villebooks Are these idiots serious? Let’s just bloody ignore what Russia did, shall we? And I guess we’ll just do so for the next country they invade. Why? Because Trump says so. Who are these muppets?
@aral They are no idiots, btw. They have just an opinion, Aral. We should respect that, to not end on the lowest level of communication, as it became the norm between politicians. We can only achieve justice for the victims of both sides in the Ukraine-Russia war, if we accept, that there are Russian civilians fighting for real change, and they need the same protection. Long-range missiles are no solution, particularly not, if you live next to Russian borders, and not overseas.
@villebooks What does this have to do with Russian civilians? No one invaded Russia. Russia invaded Ukraine. Siding with Russia in this is no different than siding with Israel in its bloody genocide. I stand by my initial assessment because I’m being generous. If they’re not idiots then they’re something far worse.
@aral That's not correct, many civilians died in Kursk 2023-24. It's your personal right to side with everyone, but it's not abour siding, if you want to protect the people in a war. That's the difference. Like nuking Israel will not help to save Palestine. Or vice versa. You have civil defence units in ISR who fight for the rights in the West Bank. It's not that easy to pick a side. Only, if you want to sustain front lines.
@villebooks If it’s not easy to pick a side when one side is committing genocide, you’ve already picked a side, it’s the side of the oppressor.
@aral No, I'm with the people of Ukraine, and not the BS plans of another Ukraine fraud who sends out troups from overseas to stay in power. The oppressors don't want peace. Quod erat demonstrandum. Life is more complex than the question to whom to deliver weapons. My ancestors are from Eastern Europe, so I know what I'm talking about, and I'm no TV clown in an army shirt marching for war. Makes me weak, in th eyes of the dogmatic troll crowd, but I can live w/that. I don't kill childen.
