So if you hate Putin so much - then why don't you go and fight him yourself? Why do you want millions of Ukrainians to die instead of you, for your goals? How can you think you have a moral high ground supporting a genocide?

lltnskyc , 2 months ago to Asklemmy in What do you think will happen if we don't pass the aid for Ukraine?

That’s not freedom.

Have you read what I've written? Let me quote myself again:

Ukrainians who failed to escape Ukraine don’t really have a choice other live in fear that today might be the day they (or their family) get kidnapped and sent to the army, or try to escape and get caught by “heroes” of the border patrol who carefully watch that nobody escape the meat grinder (unless they give them a hefty bribe).

You're absolutely right about Russia having problems you've described, I've never said Russia is a good place to live (except when comparing to current situation in Ukraine) but in Ukraine people are getting kidnapped and sent to die! Literally! How can you even compare those two things?
If you don't like what happens in Russia - you can just leave. You are not a hostage! If you like Ukraine so much - go buy a ticket and join army as a volunteer.
If you don't like what happens in Ukraine - you can't do anything! You are not allowed to leave country, don't even dream about going to Russia! You can't even come close to a border! You are treated worse than a street dog! You can only try to hide from the government until it gets overthrown or until somehow the war ends.

So, wanting my family that is trapped in Ukraine to stay alive makes me a Russian loyalist? How so?

lltnskyc , 2 months ago to Asklemmy in What do you think will happen if we don't pass the aid for Ukraine?

Ukrainians in Crimea and other annexed territories [that are not close to the front lines] have more or less normal life now. They can continue living where they live, or they can at any moment return to Ukraine, nobody is holding them hostage, they are free!
On the other hand, Ukrainians who failed to escape Ukraine don't really have a choice other live in fear that today might be the day they (or their family) get kidnapped and sent to the army, or try to escape and get caught by "heroes" of the border patrol who carefully watch that nobody escape the meat grinder (unless they give them a hefty bribe).

Zelensky will finally have to negotiate and end the war (that is, if he wouldn't get overthrown/killed before that), and millions of Ukrainians will finally get to live without fear of them/their husbands/fathers/etc. getting kidnapped on the streets and being sent to army to die or get permanently wounded.

almost all russian language media throughout the world is monitored and controlled by the russian government

I am sure you have very credible sources for this conspiracy theory, because as opposed to those stupid Russians, you know English and are capable of critical thinking, so this isn't just something you've heard from totally different and very honest media and accepted to be true, so would you be so kind to share them?

If the only language you know is russian, it’s very hard to get unbiased information

Definitely, after all, it's a known fact that the most popular western social platforms such as Reddit, Facebook, Discord, Instagram and previously Twitter are very open and never ban people for speaking out things that don't agree with the current narration, as opposed to Telegram for example (where a lot of russian-speaking people communicate and get their news from), which is known to ban people based on politics. Or wait, is it actually the other way around?...

lltnskyc , 2 months ago to World News in Russia to Hire Contract Soldiers in Bid to Avoid Unpopular Draft

With Russia, it’s either you support it or straight to jail

With Ukraine it's the same.

few Russians have the balls to stand up en masse let alone leave the country

Ukrainians don't even have the options of leaving the country, they are imprisoned by the government, with the support from the USA. And almost nobody is talking about that let alone condemning it. After all, it's bad and is a violation of human rights only when countries USA doesn't like (North Korea, etc.) do it, doing it with approval of USA is totally okay and humane! Right?

lltnskyc , 2 months ago to World News in Why Donald Trump ‘hates Ukraine’: The once and possibly future U.S. president blames the country for his political woes

Ukraine wants to fight for their nation

People want to live. Politicians want to play geopolitcs.

You think that if they wanted to surrender, they wouldn’t have done so by now?

Who are they? Nobody gives a choice to Ukrainians, and those who dare to say something against the government are sent to die.

Stop pretending that trump is giving them a choice rather than taking away their choice to defend their nation

Whose choice to defend their nation? The politicians? People are being kidnapped from the streets, and against their will sent to the army. Do you call this a choice?

if a fire were burning up your next door neighbor’s house, would you deny that helping them to put out that fire helps keep your house safe too?

Exactly, I would be helping them to put out the fire (end the conflict), instead of pouring gasoline on it (supporting the government that refuses to negotiate, and murders hundreds of thousands of people).

Withholding aid is what is getting Ukrainians killed

No, supporting and encouraging a government which refuses to negotiate and sends people to their deaths is what getting them killed.

lltnskyc , 2 months ago to World News in Why Donald Trump ‘hates Ukraine’: The once and possibly future U.S. president blames the country for his political woes

Shooting the hostage does technically end the negotiation, and that’s the equivalent to what he is suggesting

The only hostage in this situation is Ukrainian population, that is slowly getting butchered.
So in your analogy, he is the only one negotiating the release of hostages, while everybody else is busy killing them.

cede territory

Lots if not most of people would prefer to be alive on ceded territory than dead on whatever territory. You are suggesting to kill millions of innocent people without giving them a meaningful choice.

selfish asshole

Do you think millions of people who will get to live due to his actions are going to call him selfish? I wouldn't.
If what you mean instead is that his actions wouldn't benefit USA in its geopolitical game with Russia by the cost of lives of other people - you can just say that.

There was a highly upvoted post here on lemmy with "saving lives is hot" as the title, what happened to that? Or does it work only when it is about Americans, and Ukrainians can be massacred?

lltnskyc , 2 months ago to World News in Why Donald Trump ‘hates Ukraine’: The once and possibly future U.S. president blames the country for his political woes

So, saying he will end a war in Ukraine means he hates it?
For millions of Ukrainians including my family and friends who failed to escape Ukraine, this is the only chance to remain alive.

lltnskyc , 2 months ago to World News in Attacks on Ukraine's nuclear plant put world at risk, IAEA warns

They are smart and will not destroy the power plant. This is undeniable fact.

This is not a fact, this is an opinion.

Feel free to block me now :)

lltnskyc , 2 months ago to World News in Attacks on Ukraine's nuclear plant put world at risk, IAEA warns

No, I’m saying they are very unlikely to want a second nuclear disaster on the land they want to control.

And Russia does? They also want to (and in fact do, and are more likely to keep it so) control that land.

Your definition is your own

Indeed. You can share yours and we can discuss it as well.

any territory lost is immediately your enemies’ territory

Well, yes, this is how it works. Territory belongs to whoever controls it. Ukraine can claim it owns Crimea, Donbas and even Moscow itself, but what does it matter if Russia controls it? It's Russia's territory now regardless of what Ukraine and/or international law say. And to take it back they will need to conduct military actions on that territory (which belongs to enemy now, and therefore is "enemy territory"), including bombing it, conducting drone strikes (wherever they deem necessary, including nuclear power plants), etc.
Whose territory is Falkand Islands, Argentina or UK? Whose territory is mainland China, ROC or PRC? Whose territory is Taiwan, PRC or ROC? Whose territory is Northern Cyprus, Republic of Cyprus or Turkey? Depending on your political views you may have different answers to those questions, but in the reality they are controlled by the latter countries, so it is their territory, regardless of what you think. The same situation with south of Ukraine. It of course works the other way around as well, Russia claims that all of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast is theirs, which is not true because they do not control all of it.

Do you think Ukraine are the aggressors?

No.

And anyway, "whose territory it is" is a bikeshedding that does not matter.
What matters are facts - and the facts are that Russia controls the territory that the strike was conducted on. Are you disputing that?
And saying that Russia attacked a territory that it controls, without backing up those claims is a conspiracy theory, don't you think?

lltnskyc , 2 months ago to World News in Attacks on Ukraine's nuclear plant put world at risk, IAEA warns

There is a possibility that this a false flag, sure!
But to claim that something is a false flag you need to back it up with something better than "they did that in the past so this surely must be it", don't you think?
When countries A and B are at war, and there's an attack happening on the territory of country B, is your first thought "this must be a false flag" or "this must be an attack by country A"?

lltnskyc , 2 months ago to World News in Attacks on Ukraine's nuclear plant put world at risk, IAEA warns

But I did address that in my comment, didn't I?
What does it matter if the international law says so, if in fact the territory is fully controlled by Russia? International law can say that Russia does not exist at all, it would not change the fact that it does exist, would it?
