It's already here on Lemmy. Had to tell some mouthbreather to get fucked after they suggested Ukraine should give up and let Russia have its stolen territory because "peace"
Edit: And sure enough, there's one of them here in the replies. Go figure! Lmao
Thank you. You are a hero by making sure the war goes on and more Ukrainians die. Great job, really. I am sure if you tell a few more people to suck Putin's dick or whatever Ukraine will regain control of the territories they shelled for years and everyone will be happy.
You are pretending as if anyone is forcing Ukraine into defending itself, when that's typically the response to any invasion.......
You are acting as if Russia nor Ukraine have any autonomy in their actions. I find it hilarious that whenever this narrative of "ending the war to save ukrainians" you people never suggest that maybe Russia could just stop killing their neighbors.
If Ukraine wants to end the war, then I'm fine with it. They are the only people who get to decide what their sovereignty is worth, and when enough is enough.
I just think it's morally bankrupt to hide behind the the virtue signaling of "stop the death" while also cheering for the people actually killing Ukrainians.
Yes, men in Ukraine are literally forced to fight by their government. That's war. No pretending necessary.
Ahh, so we are being pedantic now? It's pretty clear that I was talking about the nation, not anecdotal accounts of individuals.
Which is one of the reasons why we shouldn't be defending nations who attack their neighbors in opportunistic land grabs?
