How bloodthirsty are the Liberals in your country right now regarding the war in Ukraine? (lemmygrad.ml)

During the last few days I noticed a few people demanding that every Ukrainian refugee in Germany who is of able bodied age should be forced back to Ukraine to either fight on the front or work in ammunition factories or hospitals. As far as I can tell no major publication or politician has echoed this sentiment yet. I hope that will stay this way. But the sheer audacity with which these people demanded strangers to be sent to their death is astounding. "Fighting to the last Ukrainian" really is something they want and it sickens me.

People where I'm from (Montréal) are mostly sympathetic with Ukrainian refugees and willing to spend some effort helping them integrate and make ends meet. I've been asked to donate a couple times.

I haven't heard any hard opinions about the conflict beyond the default Putin bad/hope Ukraine wins stuff and also a lot of comments about how messed up improvised drone warfare is.

All in all the reaction is very similar to when shit goes down in Haiti or Africa for example. Bad shit from far away that people can't really do anything about, and since we don't really see ourselves as participants in geopolitics most people just don't care all that much.
