The title says it all, I was very gun ho for Ukraine but I am now more jaded and think both sides are bad and that Ukraine needs to just give up territory and end the war.

I also learned how this is a proxy war and Ukraine has made itself a willing pawn of the American empire, I am sorry you don’t get to join the imperial core and except sympathy.

Now that the genocide in Palestine is happening I don’t know how anyone has the will to care about what is happening in Ukraine, Ukraine also supports this genocide so that deprives them of any right to sympathy to any not racist human.

I think White people liked getting to play victim for once and good for you but play time is over

    I see two possibilities:

    • You get paid for posting this kind of nonsense - in which case then I get it, everyone has to make a living.

    • Your brain is actually broken

    A quick run through your recent posts have shown that you’re actually the author of some of the worst posts I’ve come across on here, so kudos. But I’m afraid it’s now a “no” from me, and I’ll be blocking you from now on.

    I stand with Ukraine. Why should they give up their sovereign land to an invader? I’d say the say damn thing if it was the US as the aggressor.

    Russia invaded Ukraine, unprovoked, and you call for Ukraine to give up its land? That’s absurd.

    It is absolutely possible to care about more than one thing at a time.

      Why should any state inherently exist? I’ll say it about the US and ill say it about Russia. No state deserves to exist, the second their military is no longer strong enough to enforce their rule they dissapear.

        So in short the arguement is… over time it should be like corporations in America, we just watch as the biggest eat the smaller ones until we’ve just got one giant nation? Isn’t that basically the plot of 1984… (basically the world is down to 3 super nations… with effectively the same government. In perpetual war with eachother just to make sure resources don’t pile up to the point where everyone can survive comfortably.

        Because I mean that’s basically it, having diverse nations is a good thing. Allows us to actually see differences in laws, learn from different governments, good ideas can be copied, bad ideas can be avoided. Any big nation can trample all the smaller ones. It’s a really bad idea to let them.

        So when a sovereign nation can no longer defend itself from a more powerful one, they should cede their lands and resources? That’s ridiculous.

          The west has used that logic for decades to justify brutal military occupations. I say that land and resource belong to no state, any claim of ownership is inherent violence.

            No, rich people have used that as justification. Poor people don’t invade countries. Poor people flee from persecution. Beyond race, gender, or religion, it’s always the perceived wealthy that cause all of the problems. Everyone else is responding to their policies and laws.

          Im not militarily occupying a land, stripping the natural resources, and extracting labor value from a people while justifying under it the pretext of a national identity and state wealth. They talk of national unity yet their capitalists exploit the workers all the same.

      It was not unprovoked, Ukraine attempted to join the imperial core and we saw what they are doing in Palestine Russia could not allow the imperial core to grow stronger, they are fighting for the colonized world

      Ukraine is using that land to help America

      Russia is using it to help colonized peoples

        Yeah miss me with that shit. The Ukrainians deserve the right to not be invaded by any other nation. Fuck off with that imperial bullshit. They certainly had their own internal struggles. But that does not give the Russians any sort of mandate to invade, bomb and maim them. Fuck that. Russia is no better than the west. East vs west is about as stupid as it gets.

    Ukraine was invaded, twice, with Russia as the aggressor. That isn’t Ukraine’s fault and they have every right to kick Russian ass as long as it takes for Russia to pull out or negotiate. Both will be politically painful so the war goes on.

    And if you’re in a shooting war with Russia, who better to ask for weapons than the US? Even old outdated US equipment was designed to take on Soviet equipment so yeah you want them as friends to give your nation a fighting chance and prove to Russia and the international community that they won’t be pushovers.

    And look at NATO. They are bumping defense GDP to 5%. Finland, Poland, Estonia and others are withdrawing from agreements that forbid the placement of anti-personnel mines. Even if this war ends tomorrow, nobody seems to think Russia will be satisfied for long

      that 5% is torture, it is designed to punish europe for socal spending and taxing american corpos and to distrct from america’s low socal spending and so maerican can pay less

  • This is some housbrick IQ moment. An empire ruled by a dictator is invading a democratic nation. The reasons are irrelevant. I support democracy I think democracy is the superior form of government.

    Have u looked at the numbers of people dying? Cos its significantly more people getting murked by Russia than their are even people in Palestine.

    Why are u mentioning race? What relevant does that have? Or are u simply trying to use it as some twisted justification for the the murder of an entire people?

      did you just try and claim more people are dying in Ukraine then Palestine ?

      You fucking racist genocide denying piece of shit, I hate you

      first off everyone who is dying in Ukraine are soldiers meanwhile in Palestine it’s pretty much entirely civilians.

      I am mentioning race because yts are privileged and that is why the smol dick yts in the west support ukraine.

      you should know this, racist through a fit recently when mamdani said he supported taxing white neighborhoods mean

      this right here is white fragility.

      • More people are dying I’m Ukraine than Palestine that’s a fact u moron.

        Please hate me. It gives me great joy to know that imperialist racists hate me.

        first off everyone who is dying in Ukraine are soldiers meanwhile in Palestine it’s pretty much entirely civilians.

        False and false.

        I am mentioning race because yts are privileged and that is why the smol dick yts in the west support ukraine.

        Privileged huh please explain how. I’m not gonna come down to ur level and be a racist but their is a reason western culture owns everything and controls everything. I can assure you its not cos western culture is a bunch of yts because if u where to say that then u would be saying that whites are the superior race and that’s some racist shit I won’t stand people supporting.

        Racism is the practice of treating people differently based upon race. Taxing white neighbourhoods based on race is in fact racist.

        This is not white fragility this is equality. America and the rest of the world is about to shift hard right for a couple years and people like u will be the first to get sent to concentration camps. And I’m very quickly running out of sympathy for you.

    A new and ongoing genocide does take up a lot of the air, it doesn’t stop me supporting a people who are being attacked and displaced under false pretences for the crime(?) of wanting to have self-determination as a people and attempting to align themselves with the nearest superpower that might help.

    Crazy that we live in a time where that can be read as for either Ukrainians or Palestinians.

      It’s mutually exclusive, by supporting Ukraine you support the genocide of Palestinians

      Pick one, you can’t be neutral

      I stand with the people being genocided.

      Also it was not false, the ICJ still hasn’t finished ruling it could rule in favor of Russia

      Crazy that we live in a time where that can be read as for either Ukrainians or Palestinians.

      No we don’t, you can’t support both

    China supports Russia, why don’t you ?

    Palestine supports Russia, why don’t you ?

    Iran supports Russian, why don’t you ?

    The DPRK supports Russia, why don’t you ?

    The houthis support Russia, why don’t you ?

    You think the global south is right and America is wrong every other time, why is this the one exception ?

    The answer is that it isn’t. Ukraine is a racist imperialist state that supports genocide

      Cherrypicking 5 examples of which most are as southern as Texas and tell me they are pars pro toto representing the whole „global south“ seems pretty racist to me.

    • I think you and the tankies are the only ones who support the global south and think that america is wrong.

      Most people believe in democracy and liberty. Western culture is objectively better for the people than all of the nations u mentioned.

      China is genociding their own Muslim population its the genocidal government that supports russia. The Palestinian people don’t give a shit about Russia its the terrorist hammas that supports Russia. The majority of the Iranian people don’t support their own government its the terrorist government that support Russia. The north Korean government will put u in a concentration camp for saying something they don’t like its the authoritarian government that support Russia. The houthis are terrorists that support Russia.

      Your are being a racist imperialist supporting genocide. You are justifying the destruction of a free democratic nation by a racist, imperialist, and homophonic nation by saying look at all these other genocidal racist terrorists who support them.

      Your argument is so utterly moronic that I think you are either a troll or a propaganda bot.
