Fuck whoever thought it was a good idea to use Ukraine to "slowly grind down" russia. Fuck them forever for treating the Ukrainian people like they were disposable
The hell are you on? It's russia that invaded UKRAINIAN TERRITORY and it's literally self-defense. God forbid you fight back against a murderer wanting to kill you, amirite?
So instead everyone should just surrender to Putin to avoid violence?
I think they're saying Ukraine should have been given everything they needed to win the war quickly from the start. A lot of people believe the "slow trickle" of aid was designed to drag the war on.
The argument is that a long war is far more damaging to russia, whereas a losing a short war leaves them in a better position to recover and try again in the near future. Thus "the west" is perversely incentivized to do the former -- especially when it costs them very little.
Ah. Well, a short victory, I think, would have been a decisive blow to Russia. I think that could even have lead to a regime-change. I definitely don't like the idea that so many people should suffer to weaken the enemy. Giving Ukraine much more to begin with would have showed Russia not to fuck with its neighbours. If that's what the original commenter meant, I definitely understand their point of view.
He's the most courageous online communist revolutionary
An inspiration to us all.
So, you are saying... fuck Putin? With a rusty pole, you are saying?
Fuck lemmy.ml
I was struggling to find a reply, but you all covered it. Fuck Putin with a rusty school bus axle. He has cancer, help him on his way to the inevitable.
I am not happy we didn't support Ukraine more.
But putin sabotaged our democracy by supporting the worst trash among us.
And everyone said that's exactly what he would do beforehand.
Fucking worthless animals voting out of spite.
This is a humorous shitposting asylum, run by the wacky inmates. This is not a place for seriouspolitics. I have been gently reminding people of this all day. Can everyone please pull back on the Despair of the Day, bottle it up tightly inside and just...shitpost, shitmeme or shitcomment while you're here. Please. That's the tottering crayon tower on which NCD was built. This is not the place for discussing politics seriously. Thank you.
My bad, missed the subreddit.
But in all seriousness, we do need to give Ukraine the spicy throwing sticks.
