When the war in Ukraine broke out, and Europe was hesitant in the first year, I thought alright, this is a surprise to everyone and of course we need time to prepare.

@benroyce @hadon @randahl are you stupid or simply incapable of reading?
Of course there's Ukrainian identity. It's just not equally applied to all we have been knowing as Ukraine so far. While it's true in westernmost parts of the country, eastern parts seem to feel more Russian than Ukrainian. So the problem there is basically the drawn borders. Therefore, let the Eastern parts of the country join Russia and that's it.
There were intelligence agencies knowing that and they created that civil war anyway. So why would you support that? Again: are you stupid?

@benroyce Look, Putin explicitly said, if we send troops, he drop nukes. This is what national leaders fear, or else Russia would have ceased yesterday.
Give me the keys to your car or I burn your house down

Do you give me your car keys? Of course not
Just because Russia threatens nukes doesn't mean anything. They can threaten to use nukes over any provocation they want. It's just grade school bullying shit. No one takes them seriously and unless you stand uo to the bullying, you'll get MORE nuclear threats because you've shown they work on you. So giving into the threats *increases* the chances of being nuked

They decided to be Ukraine

If there were any russophile Ukrainians, the years of war now has erased all of that from the mind of every Ukrainian. Mass murdering ethnofascist imperialism tends to do that, galaxy brain

@randahl you know how we could have already ended this war? Not giving the 2014 coup d'etat, sponsored by the US and the EU. That would have created 0 wars. Now you want the European citizenship to support a war created by some criminals in our name by giving the power in Ukraine to their worst nationalistic fascists? No, I don't think so. Go fight yourself.

@MisuseCase @randahl probably the smartest thing you could have said.

Now 4 years have passed, and we are 450 million EU and 69 million UK citizens still standing on the sidelines, telling 38 million Ukrainians they should fight 133 million Russians on their own.
We could end this war. Instead we keep pretending that it is fine to let Ukraine take all the punches.
I find that profoundly shameful.
@randahl It is indeed shameful. Also illogical. You #Europeans just stood up to the #USA for heaven's sake — over #Greenland, which is part of North America! — and made #Trump blink. If you can do that, you can stand up to #Russia over #Ukraine in your own back yard in #Europe, and make #Putin back down — or, if need be, take him down. Your combined economy is many times the size of his.

@randahl I bet if we came to the defense of Ukraine, the war woulve ened almost instantly, or atleast a year or 2 ago, if Russia struggles this much with one country, they wouldnt last long against the EU and NATO
-
450 million EU citizens walk to attack 133 million Russians ? Even that wouldn't end the war since I don't think Putin cares about those 133 million Russians.
We could end this war, how? -

@randahl I support the sentiment, but can we please avoid statements like "war in Ukraine broke out." This makes it sound like war is a thing that just happens, like spontaneous combustion.
""When Russia illegally invaded Ukraine's sovereign territory..." accurately describes what happened.

@randahl at least ukraine rightfully get billions from europe to defend itself and europe reject ukraine giving up land while Europe is still defending israel, lying about stopping selling weapons, having zero sanction on the state itself despite Netenyahu himself talking sbout exterminating Palestine
