So if your country was being invaded you’d just lie down and take it? Perhaps even say thank you? You’re naive to think that talking will magically solve things when you’re against an enemy who clearly doesn’t have the same moral standards as you. They’re attempting to take what they want with force, they’ve already demonstrated that they don’t care for niceties like negotiation.
Imagine trying to talk it out with a mugger. They don’t care what you want to talk about. They want your money.
Every downvote is a vote for death, hatred, and suffering of innocents
This makes you sound like those moronic Facebook posts that say things like “1 like = 1 prayer, ignore = you hate puppies”. It’s not a good look.
Would I rather be alive and in a position to negotiate my freedom than dead? Gee, what a hard que–oh wait.
Seriously, I don’t get this. I don’t understand how people have become so hateful and spiteful and blood-thirsty. It’s Fox News, isn’t it? Right-wing, jingoistic, hyper-patriotic, “I can’t understand the second amendment because I think only half of it applies” bullshit.
Go find a heart. Compassion. Love. Prayer does nothing. War kills. Love, compassion, understanding, patience, and peace is what moves the world.
No, it’s you who do not understand because your brain is wired with violence and hatred and is unable to see past any of that to any possibility of peace. You are a relic of an ancient time of hatred and bullshit and you need to either rewire your brain and evolve, or stay silent and let people who want peace on this fucking planet be the adults we are.
Please go to Ukraine and test this routine on Russian soldiers, it will go really well for you, like that ad of Kendall Jenner solving racism with a Pepsi
Oh most enlightened one, ye who stands upon the highest of moral ground, please share with us your illuminated opinion of how the Ukraine should have responded? Or for that matter, any enemy who wishes to take your land and kill your people.
Clearly you are the most learned among us, and have solved the puzzle of how to overcome a violent enemy without resorting to violence, so please I beg of you oh sage one to teach us your great wisdom so that we may be as ethically correct as you.
EDIT
Aww I missed their rage response, I am guessing they had no better response than “let the violent party take whatever they want”? Yeah cause that’s a super great plan, and definitely doesn’t incentivize more violence.
I love how you turn pacifism around to “help the Russians” basically making me the villain while you advocate the killing of innocents and the destruction of cities. What a fucking hateful shit.
Here, let me bring some light into your understanding of the matter.
Imagine, and I want you to really visualize this, a large man has a visible gun on his belt. He demands that you strip nude and give him everything you have. There is no path you can run towards, he’s blocking the only exit and, again, has a gun. It just so happens that you also have a gun, and unlike his, yours is already drawn. What do you do?
Oh look, it’s hateful people imagining these fake no-win situations to justify their bloodlust. Grow up. Life is more complicated than your manipulative little fantasies.
It’s not a “simple question”, it’s a manipulative question by a fucking violent sociopath describing an impossible, this-or-that situation that will never exist and I’m fucking calling you out on it.
Talk about having no intellectual honesty. Look, you’ve lost. Get over it. People like me – pacifists who want people to continue living, who want peace, no violence, no hatred – have won. You are a relic of a long-past age of hatred and bullshit. Evolve or be silent.
I advocate the defense of people and cities. You advocate their surrender. You would trade anything for peace, especially justice. You would rather have a negative peace than accept that the world is not as simple as you would like it to be, and there are some enemies who are simply not interested in negotiation. You are what we call a “useful idiot.”
Where is the justice for the dead? Where? Where the fuck is the justice for the innocents who have had their lives turned upside down? The ones who would still be alive if aggression had not been the solution?
You are a hateful, war-mongering, inhuman monster.
Where is the justice for the dead? Where? Where the fuck is the justice for the innocents who have had their lives turned upside down? The ones who would still be alive if aggression had not been the solution?
Those are some very good questions to ask the aggressor, Russia.
What justice is there in rolling over and saying, “no, we don’t have a right to self-determination in any way, please take anything you want, Russia!” If push came to shove you would be a collaborator, and aider and abetter of war crimes to save your own skin, and that cognitive dissonance makes you so uncomfortable that you put on this humanitarian act in order to maintain a moral high ground that does not exist. It is not virtuous to allow others to kill you, dominate you, and steal from you. It is monstrous to imply that Russia’s right to delusions of empire trump Ukraine’s right to determine their country’s affairs, and even more monstrous to use the death of innocents as a shield for your craven delusions that everything would be fine if people just gave the naked aggressors everything they want.
Oh, you mean the war America escalated by taking sides in the second Sino-Japanese war and choking Japan to the point where they had to take a stance of aggression toward us to be able to get essential supplies by ship, and we decided to lie and paint Japan as an evil, aggressive, horrible enemy and nuke them twice even though they were ready to negotiate for peace both fucking times? That war?
Lie and paint japan as a an evil, aggressive, horrible enemy? If anything allied propaganda was below the mark regarding just how evil the Japanese were. Nanjing? Manilla? Shanghai? Unit 731?
The amount of brainwashing to tell the narrative of USA GOOD EVERYONE ELSE BAD has made speaking with you impossible. Break out of your fucking shitty, horrible programming and join the rest of the adults in a struggle to find peace in our time, or just be silent and let us do it.
So the solution is that the one side that already has a bunch of guns, gets to kill as many people on the other side, and we must not help the other side defend themselves?
Always give the aggressor everything they want and let them kill as many civilians as they need to.
Sure.
temporarily get some of what they want while things are worked out
Some of what they want = to own all of Ukraine, and for Ukrainians to not exist as a culture, let alone a nation.
Putin is not rational, this is an ego war. I take it you were never bullied in school. You might not know what it’s like when someone’s main goal in life is to make yours hell. You can just lay on the ground and play dead, that won’t stop them from kicking you. There’s no talking your way out of it unless you yourself are at least as strong as the bully. This is what Russia is. A schoolyard bully. Any type of negotiated peace short of total capitulation is going to be nothing more than a way to catch Ukraine with its’ pants down and kill more Ukrainians and grab more territory. The only way Russia will stop killing innocent people is if they either run out of resources, or Putin himself gets deposed.
Revisionist warmonger history. Russia was ready to peacefully take over Ukrane/parts of Ukrane until Ukrane went all aggressive murder all Russians on them. Sure, again, yes, 100%, Russia isn’t in the right here. Let’s not think I’m on Russia’s side here. I AM NOT. AT ALL. But the fact that you are going full murder boner is proof that you don’t care about people’s lives and you are willing to fucking lie about it.
Nothing like revisionist history that ignores the fact that Ukraine was the first actual aggressor and Russia just wanted them to give over their land. Not for Russia here, they’re 100% in the wrong, but land isn’t worth fucktons of human lives unless you’re a war-mongering hateful gun-toting conservative shit like you.

I already gave you the mugger analogy, so one of three things is happening.
In any of these cases, it appears you are not debating in good faith. As such, I will no longer engage. Goodbye.

Please learn current history and know Ukraine started this aggression. Moron.

Good Lawd, check your blood pressure, you look worrying with all these caps and bolds
At least I have blood unlike all the dead innocents in Ukraine.
This guy would help the Russians if they invaded his country. Just vile.

How funny, it seems you’re dodging the very simple question. Almost like you’re devoid of intellectual honesty.

You really think that the world is so black and white that it’s either “kill all foreigners” or “bow down and join our beloved oppressors”?
Seriously, you shouldn’t be able to have an opinion. Go back to first grade and try learning how life works again.
WW2 happened because of retards like you.
Oh, you mean the war America escalated by taking sides in the second Sino-Japanese war and choking Japan to the point where they had to take a stance of aggression toward us to be able to get essential supplies by ship, and we decided to lie and paint Japan as an evil, aggressive, horrible enemy and nuke them twice even though they were ready to negotiate for peace both fucking times?

There’s no temporary about it. There’s no “some of what they want” about it. Negotiations have been tried time and time again. Ceasefires have been tried, but guess what, Russia just bombarded the civilian evacuation corridors when they were negotiated because the goal is to kill as many Ukrainians as possible.
Putin is not rational, this is an ego war. I take it you were never bullied in school. You might not know what it’s like when someone’s main goal in life is to make yours hell.

Nothing quite like peacefully rolling tanks over the the border and killing the border guards, eh?
Nothing like revisionist history that ignores the fact that Ukraine was the first actual aggressor and Russia just wanted them to give over their land.
