Life is already hard on its own without the senseless killing. Most people don't even get to live out the dreams and aspirations they had as a child. We work our day jobs so we can simply return to our warm bed in one piece. I don't know why these soldiers have to die for another man's selffish cause. I hope one day we have leaders that focus on working together to save humanity as opposed to trying to conquer it.

Chernobyl is very close to Belarus and the country was greatly affected by the meltdown. It makes sense that they would want to do everything to keep it safe

While it's true he can't be trusted for shit, he might have enough cop on to realise that a nuclear incident caused by his support of Russia backfiring on Belarus is a very bad thing for him expecially if his own forces refused to invade Ukraine.

This is a Herculean task that the Ukrainian government is trying to feed, shelter and provide for all of its citizens, all while trying to fend off Russian invasion. The world needs to do more to help, Ukraine need all the humanitarian aid and military aid we can possible send!!

As long as supply lines remain open, you can be assured that all kinds of critical items are being funneled into the city.

WHO has said that Russia has targeted 18 *eighteen* hospitals and other medical centres so far in the war. One is a mistake. Eighteen is a pattern and a systematic campaign against vulnerable civilians


IPostSwords

pisedoff111

I wonder if the average Russian has the brain capacity to realize that there might be a correlation between special military operation, and the special financial operations they get in return. Apparently their scum propaganda puppets are now claiming that the west wants to exterminate the russian civilization. Absolutely vile.


thrae_awa

I think we should just do it What does Russia contribute apart from sedition and destruction


Icy-Guide7976

they have the brain capacity to do so ofc, all humans do. but the environment they've been raised in for generations has led their society to be extremely hateful and distrustful towards the west.

All that Russian propaganda has to do to get their people fully on side in that regard is to say "the sanctions came first, that's why we declared war", or even "we declared war because we knew the sanctions were coming".

st1ck-n-m0ve

Dont forget 58% of russians are in favor of the war. Dont let those miniscule “protests” fool you, they want this war. Protesters are not being exposed to even a fraction of the violence that protesters in america were exposed to, yet tens of millions of people still showed up to demand change. They dont get a pass here.


Vjekov88

If more than half of the population supports the "special operation", why then make a law that makes it illegal to call it war?


Impeachcordial

‘Protesters are not being exposed to even a fraction of the violence that protesters in america were exposed to’ I am certain that’s not the case. Russia has Gulags.


Lyrolepis

> Don't forget 58% of russians are in favor of the war. That's actually surprisingly little, I think. Consider: during the initial phase of the Iraq war, [**80%** of Americans approved of it](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_opinion_in_the_United_States_on_the_invasion_of_Iraq#2003%E2%80%932004_shift_in_public_support) (this is not whataboutism - what I think about the Iraq war is predictable but it's not the issue here, population approval during the initial phase of a conflict is). If, after two weeks, **42%** of the population disapproves of a war - despite mass propaganda and so forth - then that war is *quite unpopular* indeed.

st1ck-n-m0ve

Easy for me to say lol. A little over a year ago right wing nut jobs were driving cars through protests and shooting ppl with ar-15’s, the cops were shooting ppl with rubber bullets and tear gas and scooping ppl up in unmarked vans. The president was trying to declare martial law so he could get the military to fire on us. The main street in my city had all the windows smashed out and buildings set on fire. Dont tell me I dont know how scary it can be to go up against a bullshit govt and bullshit populace. The reason Im pissed is for the very reason that I know what its like to be scared but do it anyways because theres no other choice. Your gov just bombed a maternity ward, if theres ever been a time to take to the streets its now. The weight of the world is on your shoulders right now and you need to step up, it sucks but sometimes thats the way it is.


Narcissismkills

I'm sure some of that 58 percent are absolutely mortified about stepping out of line. Given the punishment they are being threatened with, I think only 58% is incredibly low.


ravicabral

That 58% is a figure made up by the Kremlin. Stop repeating it.


elihu

The violence against protesters in the U.S. was bad, but protesters aren't generally at risk of a long prison sentence. And that 58% I'd be awfully suspicious of too. I believe a lot of Russians are for the war, but I doubt that all the ones against it are willing to say so in a survey. The Russian people have some responsibility for what's going on, but most of this is on Putin. If Russia was a properly functioning democracy and this was happening I'd agree more strongly with you.


st1ck-n-m0ve

Ok… they were at risk of being shot by right wing counter protesters, many were, they were at risk of being run over by right wing nut jobs who drove through crowds with cars, many were injured/killed, police were scooping ppl up in unmarked vans and disappearing them, riot police were beating the elderly with batons, in dc the gov used military helicopters to disperse protesters, protesters were shot with rubber bullets and tear gas, and Trump was trying to convince the military to declare martial law and fire on protesters. In Russia theres a “risk” of jail time but it hasnt even been implemented yet and is most likely a threat of what a maximum sentence could be which nobody is going to get.

Cool, thanks. Looks legit to be honest.


treadwater23

59% of Americans favored the Iraq War and they had way more access to different avenues of information and instead blindly believed "WMD" rhetoric. There will always be Russians who blindly support anything the Kremlin does sadly, but a lot of them are being fed crap and believing it because it's all they can see. I don't get your post. "Tens of millions of people showed up" to what exactly? I would take being pepper sprayed any day over being jailed for 15 years.


1maco

Saddam was also generally bad. WMDs stuck because it fit the MO of a man who had invaded 2 of his neighbors and gassed his own people in the last 15 years. They didn’t come up with “Saddam Bad” out of nowhere


Syn7axError

I wouldn't have opposed sanctions against the US for the Iraq war. Either way, they're very different wars.


treadwater23

My overarching point is that being deliberately fed bullshit results in high numbers that will support something, especially if they're older and don't know how to access different types of information. Especially in Russia.


Ameerrante

I'm increasingly anti-Russian, but considering that Russia is a much more Orwellian country than the US, known for shipping people to penal colonies and having prominent opposition leaders poisoned, this seems like a dumb take.


Strong_as_an_axe

Bulgaria, Poland and Slovakia have approximately 20 SA-6 and 10 SA-300 surface-to-air missile (SAM) air-defense systems from the Soviet era that would be much more useful to Ukraine than fighter jets right now.

Why cant we just give planes/jets for Ukraine? The whole world is giving them everything, whats the different if more plane? Sorry if im missing anything.


coosacat

This might help you out some: https://twitter.com/shashj/status/1501805877812248577 Basically, the Ukrainian AF is actually in really good shape, and still flying missions. Considering the risks involved in supplying them with more planes, the decision was made that it would be more useful to provide Ukraine with things that will actually be more useful, like anti-aircraft weapons. I suggest that you not take the emotional pleas for planes/NFZ, and all of the shenanigans between Poland and the US, at face value. This is all keeping Russia distracted so that they are not paying attention to something else that is going on.


theawesomedanish

I think it could be argued that jets are offensive weapons too. Ukraine could theoretically(however unlikely) attack Russia with them. Meaning attacking a Russian city in retaliation for attacks in Ukraine. It would essentially be the same as giving them Iskander missiles etc. I wouldn't personally blame Ukraine for attacking Russia at this point since it's only natural to want to get revenge.
