Oh boy, strap in. Can't wait to hear how many keyboard commandos think Ukrainians should get shoved into the meat grinder for another year.

[-] cecilkorik@piefed.ca 4 points 4 weeks ago

Well if we're not going to bother helping them win, then yeah, I guess they should surrender for now until Russia's recovered enough that they can finish the job.

Fuck Ukraine, not our problem, there's nothing we can do anyway and none of this is ever going to affect any of us. /s

Well if we’re not going to bother helping them win

We've been happy to lard them up with debt and sell them overpriced military surplus. Idk if that counts as "helping them win" but we've made a handsome profit off it.

Fuck Ukraine, not our problem

Hey now. Don't look at Ukraine as a problem. Look at Ukraine as a big play for recently vacated real estate. Jared Kushner is going to make so much fucking money leasing Ukraine's land back to its residents.

Now Ukrainians? They're going to get fucked.

Fair point, but really, I don't know why they can't single-handedly win a war against a country 10x their size using only our obsolete overpriced leftovers, with strings attached telling how they're allowed and not allowed to use them. Are they even trying? /s

I mean, ask Afghanistan, Vietnam, or Korea.

But also ask why these wars popped off to begin with and why they dragged on long after any foreign country had a material interest in continuing the fight.

Also maybe look into the UON and question why the Canadian Parliament was applauding an elderly SS Officer who described WW2 as the best years of his life.

Tons of profit in war mongering.

It's their decision of course. I hate to see them lose, and I hate that my country isn't doing more. We made a damn promise, and when it came time to make good, we half-assed it. Not enough oil I guess. But I also don't want to see Russia bully their way to more territory either, as that just shows the world that they are still a threat, and leads to another round of russian fear for the world.

the vast majority of the world fears the US and Europe more than Russia. In fact, Russia is quite liked by most of the world believe it or not 🤷

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The world doesn't fear Russia, though, the world fears the west. It's the west that fears Russia, and is harvesting Ukraine for resources and racking them up with debt for hand-me-down surplus to support the far-right Banderites in Kiev ethnic cleansing the Donbass region. The Ukrainian people increasingly want peace over war, not to fight to the last Ukrainian, it's the Banderites that want to sacrifice Ukrainain people while they hide from the frontlines.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, only NATO and Israel should be allowed to bully their way into territory.

[-] unphazed@lemmy.world -5 points 3 weeks ago

How about everyone respect the land they've had for decades and stop trying to rekindle colonialism? We're talking about Russia and Ukraine and you're bringing in other entities into the discussion? Try keeping the train on the tracks. Russia already took over Georgia and Crimea in the past 20 years, just a slow progression to reacquire the good ole Soviet Union. If countries really wanna get the band back together, they'd do so with votes or formal agreements. When foreign tanks roll across borders, any claim of a peaceful integration is a fucking lie, and is in fact a bullying, aggressive act of war.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 weeks ago

you’re bringing in other entities into the discussion

No mate, that was you.

Russia already took over Georgia

Yeah? Really?

"No investigation, no write to speak" really should be enforced policy.

they’d do so with votes or formal agreements.

Donbas and Crimea tried, Ukraine forbid it.

When foreign tanks roll across borders, any claim of a peaceful integration is a fucking lie, and is in fact a bullying, aggressive act of war.

Local liberal condemns D-Day landings.

Is Germany accepting reality?

[-] Lowleekun@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

Don't get your hopes up yet. The EU is interested in prolonging this war as long as possible. Else betting on war economy is even worse than it already is. Germany simply likes to pretend that they love peace (we aren't Nazis anymore pls we promise OK?). In the meanwhile we will supply weapons like the killing machines we always wanted to be. And when the world is ready for our peace....

...pls let someone else be the pos this time

[-] hobata@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 weeks ago

Danke Merkel!

[-] NimdaQA@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Good. Hopefully some of these 'painful concessions' are Demilitarization and Denazification.

[-] Grapho@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 weeks ago

They hated him because he told them the truth

[-] NimdaQA@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Apparently, people think Denazification is a bad thing.

[-] hobata@lemmy.ml -2 points 4 weeks ago

Damn, as if Walter White's opinion from Comic-Con matters.

[-] cv_octavio@piefed.ca -2 points 3 weeks ago

Why can't Russia make any painful concessions instead? They are in the wrong. 

[-] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 3 weeks ago

usually you have to be winning a war to force concessions from your opponent, shocking i know

[-] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 weeks ago

Ignoring how you can consider being against nazis to be "in the wrong", Russia doesn't have to make painful concessions because they are not losing the war. That's how war works.

[-] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

The country that loses a war is the one that is forced to make concessions. Right and wrong have nothing to do with it.

[-] jankforlife@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

In the wrong to topple an illegitimate empire-propped Nazi government?

[-] NimdaQA@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Since when was fighting Nazis, wrong?

[-] ubik@sh.itjust.works -4 points 3 weeks ago

Why is it that I only see this news story on Russia-affiliated sites? Strange.

[-] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 weeks ago

German officials hint that Ukraine may face "painful concessions" ending in referendum

Before any lib confusion, pravda.com.ua is the Ukrayinska Pravda, a Ukrainian online newspaper.
