Ukraine should be erased from the map, they just made everything more expensive.

Unpopular opinion but it is what it is, I'm going to be downvoted by boot lickers 👢😋

Better to be a "boot licker" than someone valuing a tiny bit of his money more than millions of lives.

"Thought process", sure sure.

I don't understand your thought process here. Not meaning to be obtuse, but how did Ukraine do this? And, honestly, sorry to ask, but what does erased from the map mean? I get that it's a complicated situation, but how on earth should it all be resolved in a way that would leave everything better, or at least not long-term worse? Thanks in advance for your insights.

Well, their account is mere hours old and their only comments have been the two in this thread clearly sucking Putin's dick and one elsewhere saying that they reported somebody to the FBI for hosting LGBTQ content, but not before calling said person a pedo for good measure. So I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to share anything intelligent that you could learn anything from. It's probably just a middle aged toddler having a temper tantrum because his kids won't visit him for Christmas ever since the Christmas that he talked about storming the Capitol in a week and a half. That may seem like a hell of a conclusion to jump to, but 1/3 of their comments is threatening to report somebody to the FBI, so I'm assuming that they think that pretty much everybody gets reported to the FBI and they're accidentally confessing to doing real domestic terrorism.

After all, it's not been proven that they aren't a domestic terrorist. Maybe they should get investigated just to be on the safe side...
