      I feel very torn over this. On one hand, I completely understand the desire not to die in a fucking war. I certainly wouldn’t want to either.

      On the other, who if not the ukrainians can defend their homeland? The west can’t even actively interfere without risking potential global repercussions neither side wants 💣🍄. I also think it is unfair that the men who could afford to leave get a pass, while the rest has to risk their lives.

        They lose. They were always going to lose because Russia outnumbers them 10 to 1. Only [VERY SMART PEOPLE] on these forums think otherwise because they [CAN] think for themselves.

        The fact so many people thought Ukraine could retake Crimea is laughable. Where are all those people now? Why aren’t they admitting they were wrong before and they could be wrong again?

        Just throw shit at a wall and see what sticks, I guess.

          Oh look, you’re spouting that same regurgitated shit over here as well. I wonder why it’s so important to you to paint Ukraine in the worst possible light?

        I would be useless in a war, being forced to fight in something for a country you left for whatever reason seems unfair. I left my own in 2010 and rarely return, and have lived the vast majority of my adult life as a taxpayer in other countries.
