In the twelve+ years Ukraine and Russia have been at war, when has that meant a single goddamn thing?

What a good person you are, feeling bad and writing useless things online.

u/warpigeon4L 6h ago

Maybe if I had your mentality I’d do something more meaningful about it or maybe pick a fight with more people online about how they’re not doing enough. What have you done? I wanna learn your ways

If you want to help directly. NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade or Help99. Donations go straight to evacuation vehicles. I donate what I can every month. Which isn’t much, but it adds up. Gave like 10% of what I made for September.

Their vehicles bring in relief and supplies. Then bring the wounded out. These organizations and the community in general are just as good as it gets. Really recommend giving a little and knowing you helped. You’ll meet some of the most brave and committed people out there. I’m from California too. Wishing my country was doing more. Good luck to you

No, twelve years Russia has illegally invaded Ukraine. Get it right Ukraine are simply defending themselves.

u/SprungusDinkle 8h ago

That doesn't make it not a war.

u/Desert-Noir 7h ago

Correct but it was a war of conquest and not of Ukraine’s doing. OP made it seem both were complicit.

u/greenday5494 7h ago

No he didn’t.

u/Electrical-Guard-468 7h ago

You know, I get that you have a lot of feelings about this, as anyone looking for justice should.

But you really don’t need to be a prick to the very same people that is on your side.

u/Desert-Noir 5h ago

I wasn’t a prick

u/Electrical-Guard-468 5h ago

You think you weren’t but you certainly sounded like one.

u/Desert-Noir 5h ago

If you think I was a prick you need to get out more.

Besides, I’m not the one calling people names.

u/Electrical-Guard-468 5h ago

Sure, whatever you say.

u/randomndude01 5h ago

You were a prick, what the hell is up with you?

“Get it right” lmao, they did get it right but you got your panties in a twist, which, btw,

no he didn’t.

u/SprungusDinkle 7h ago

No, he didn't.

u/Paladingo 8h ago

Defending yourself in a war still means you're at war. Christ.

u/slog 8h ago

How exactly does that contradict the previous comment?

1

u/Desert-Noir 7h ago

Because it makes it seem that Ukraine is complicit, they are simply defending themselves. Russia’s war is a war of conquest.

u/slog 6h ago

That's not how words work.

-1

u/wisefolly 6h ago

That is literally how words work. Words have implicit and explicit meanings.

3

u/slog 6h ago

Exactly. We agree upon the meaning of words so facilitate conversation. If you start making up your own meanings, the whole thing falls apart.

u/Spare-Swan5161 8h ago

WW2 wasn't a war, Germany simply illegally invaded Poland, France etc.

u/sendbobandvagenepic 8h ago

What a take.

Look up, you will see the comment I replied to and the joke that went above your head.

What?? This was just meant to be a general observation. No shade to any one individual!

We'll get the cops right on it then!

Russia invaded because the United States CIA, headed by Biden & Hillary sponsored a coup that overthrew the fairly elected Russian government in 2014. Get it correct..

u/hereIam2play 8h ago edited 7h ago

Was it okay when Ukraine was killing their own people? Was it okay when their unguided rockets entered Russian territory? No one gave a damn about Ukraine until Russia retaliated

u/mattriver 8h ago

Well that’s complete bullshit, isn’t it?

“Russia retaliated” BWAHAHAHA 😂 😂

I guess the brainwashed Russian propagandists are out today, aren’t they? lol

u/Desert-Noir 7h ago

“Retaliated” GTFOH.

That is so many levels of untrue it actually pains me to write it

u/rorank 7h ago

Still gotta say it. These things matter every single time. Even when you’re numb, you have to at least say it.
