    I mean yeah you can say it’s just a proxy war, but if a large nation supporting a small nation during a time of war makes it a proxy war, then the American Revolution was a proxy war between Britain and France. Proxy wars can still be liberatory, just like this one, where Ukraine is literally fighting for it’s freedom and survival.

        All your talk makes it sound like you think they are making a “wrong” decision. Is that true, and if so, what would you do if you ran that country being annexed and bombed?

            Ukraine didn’t decide on war, Russia did. Also, suing for peace doesn’t really seem to be working for Palestine, does it? At what point would you be willing to fight for what you think is right? Would you risk your life to protect your loved ones from a murderer? I would.

                Ukraine and Russia are each engaged in mass forces conscription. That’s what is driving this war.

                What’s driving this war is Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Don’t bring that vatnik bullshit in here.

                Well, that’s your perogative I guess. The physical location, history, heritage, and burden on the neighbors where you move to matter to me, but can understand prioritizing lives over places to a degree. Someone still needs to hold aggressors accountable though, and a proxy war feels more responsible than getting directly involved risking even more escalation than current. Thanks for responding.

            Why do we even need guns if we can just sue people? You sir really do have the cure for the 2nd amendment people.

            So if the solution to help Palestine is pressuring their oppressor to stop, then the solution to help Ukraine is…?
