Congratulations to the "good guys", you sacrificed thousands of Ukrainians but now you have funny memes about Kursk, so it was definitely worth it.
Fuck the imperialist russian state. They had an invasion coming the moment they invaded and annexed crimea.
Okay, you hate Russia.
But why do you hate Ukrainians? Why do we have to die for your grudge with Russia?
This operation has the potential to better Ukraine's strategic position greatly. Ukraine winning means the dying of civilians stops. Ukraine giving up would not have the same result.
Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered Czechoslovakia? - No.
Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered Poland? - No.
Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered the Netherlands? - No.
Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered Denmark? - No.
Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered France? - No.
Did ww2 stop when Germany conquered Norway? - No.
Ww2 ended, when Nazi Germany was defeated.
Ukraine winning, Ukraine giving up, Ukraine making a peace deal with Russia, Russia winning - all those options will mean the dying of civilians stops.
The only option where people will continue to die is the option you (probably) support - continuing the war.
That is not my perception.
Russia winning means, the dying will continue in the suppression of their new subjects and in future invasions since this one would have been successful in the end.
How many people have died from "supression" (whatever it means in this context) in the Crimea, that has been occupied for 10 years now?
And the next question - how come this number (is it 0 or more?) is less then the number of civilians (some of whom be Ukrainians or ex-Ukrainians) that died from Ukrainian shelling of Crimea?
Do you think people should have a choice of dying in this, very real, war, or in some hypothetical could-happen war in the future?
Bro people died defending it and the rest fled so they weren't raped or sledgehammered to death.
What's your solution dipshit.
would ukraine winning mean civilians stop dying in the eastern oblasts where the coup regime have been murdering civilians and bombing and shelling them since 2014?
I'm not the one who invaded Ukraine, but i support them fighting back against the aggressor.
would you rather just roll over and let russia take over?
You support who fighting back against the aggressor?
People who are now trapped in the biggest mass prison in the world? People who are trying to escape this prison by any means, including through the occupied territories, mountains and rivers? People who are afraid to leave homes and go to grocery shops, because any day they might be kidnapped by "recruitment officers" and forcefully sent to die?
You are not supporting us, you are killing us, together with Russia.
Ah yes, another lemmy.world account accusing me of spreading lies and yet not disproving any of them...
You haven't said anything to disprove, you've offered an idiotic opinion not a fact or anything you even claim to be a fact.
Lots of Russians died too, so as far as they're concerned it's a win.
they could have surrendered just like the other Russians did.
That's not really how wars work in the 2020s. There's no opportunity to surrender when you get droned in a truck miles away from the front lines or hit by a glide-bomb in your barracks hundreds of miles from the front. We saw the same thing in the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Okay call it not surrendering then but deserting and then surrender.
Between deserting and surrendering is sneaking across miles of territory, through the front lines, in hopes that the other side accepts your surrender and puts you in a POW camp instead of droning the guy in an enemy uniform sneaking towards their position.
We've seen plenty of videos of both sides droning people trying to surrender.
Not "lots of", more Russian soldiers died than Ukrainians, as is typical for this conflict.
Oh good, more Russian orphans than Ukrainian orphans were created. That makes this all worthwhile.
emphasis on the soldiers part but alright
plus, in war casualties are what matters. I'm only looking at this from a strategic perspective, not a humanitarian one.
Yeah, it's really convenient when you can force other people to fight and die for your war..
In our defense we didn’t invade either country.
The only one killing Ukrainians is Russia pig
The West offered Zelensky a way out and to give up the moment the war started. He and his country refused and asked for weapons to defend themselves against a tyrant that will never stop. How exactly did the west force Ukraine to fight?
What? The west (and especially Boris Johnson) encouraged Zelensky to fight and encouraged him to drop the peace proposal (which included Russia going back to pre-2022 invasion borders!).
Just "He".
The west supports Zelensky's regime, which kidnaps people on the streets and sends them to die.
Zelensky could have fled. He refused. Ukrainians could have surrendered, they refused surprising everyone. Putin will never stop unless he is stopped. To support Ukraine surrendering is to support many many more Ukrainian deaths in the future.
No. We don't have a choice. We cannot even choose our president, much less choosing to end the war. We cannot speak out against our government (except anonymously like I do). People cannot even fucking leave their houses without fear of being kidnapped.
Then go to Russia, I'm sure they'd be more than willing to send you to the front to kill your fellow Ukrainian brothers and sisters, and it'll get you out of the "prison" that is supposedly Ukraine. 🙄
Wtf is the point of your comment chain? I've seen and heard no claims that Ukraine is kidnapping people off the street to be sent to the front, outside of Russian owned state media. The same media that hides and covers up the fact that Russia is doing exactly what you're describing to its own citizens.
Ukraine was invaded, and the country chose to defend itself as opposed to roll over and take Putin's boot on their throat. The invasion was begun under a completely fabricated claim about historical Russian boundaries. Zelensky and Ukraine have, to me, been nothing but up front about their motives, their rationale, and pride they have for their country.
I'm sure they'd be ashamed to know you think so little of your brother and sister Ukrainians, but then again, it sure sounds like you'd rather have a Russian boot on your neck than a Ukrainian uniform on your shoulders. Cowardly, and pathetic. I wouldn't spit in your direction, it'd be an insult to the spit.
