There is literally nothing Trump can do to stop Ukraine at this point. Since they refused to give them supplies Ukraine has had to build their own stuff and rely on other means to fight, at this point they don’t really need anything from the USA to fight so they are free to do so.
I mean, you can only kidnap people off the street to die on the frontline for so long until the country collapses completely.
Better resist and collapse than do nothing and collapse
Only a quarter of Ukrainians want to keep fighting, yet they are using forced conscription to put civilians on the front line.
“Things wouldn’t be so bad if they just stopped resisting. Why don’t they? They don’t want to fight, statistically.”
I’m amazed at how often the “rapist argument” pops up on Lemmy, in respect to Ukraine.
Yeah, maybe their civilian population is sick of war, and they don’t want to be drafted. And maybe Ukraine should make their own decisions/have their sovereignty respected. But, you know, disrespecting their sovereignty is the whole reason this is happening.
So even if you are unquestionably right, what the heck does it matter? Russia doesn’t care what Ukraine thinks, nor anything about their sovereignty and decision making power, otherwise they wouldn’t have launched a massive military invasion Ukraine clearly did not consent to.
Lmfao, democracy is rape now, folks.
I am going to remember this next time a western power invades someone to “defend democracy.”
I’m sure you’re protesting the invasion of Iran right this moment, lmao
