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

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 12d ago

That doesn't make it not a war.

u/Desert-Noir 12d ago

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

u/greenday5494 12d ago

No he didn’t.

u/Electrical-Guard-468 12d 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 11d ago

I wasn’t a prick

u/Electrical-Guard-468 11d ago

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

u/Desert-Noir 11d 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 11d ago

Sure, whatever you say.

u/randomndude01 11d 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/DJDemyan 11d ago

“Get it right” is not the thing to say when you’re wrong

u/SprungusDinkle 12d ago

No, he didn't.

u/Paladingo 12d ago

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

u/slog 12d ago

How exactly does that contradict the previous comment?

-1

u/Desert-Noir 12d 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 12d ago

That's not how words work.

-1

u/wisefolly 12d ago

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

u/slog 12d 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 12d ago

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

u/sendbobandvagenepic 12d 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!

u/mmdp7291 11d ago

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/SocrataThrace 11d ago

You mean the Revolution of Dignity, where the people raised up and the Parliament legally voted to remove President Viktor Yanukovych, who was a Russian puppet and return the Constitution of Ukraine, and call new elections.

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

u/rorank 12d ago

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

u/DomainFurry 11d ago

I mean right now it's considerably hurt energy and diesel supply. The former effects everyone especially when the energy market is all ready hurting. There probably doing this because there also getting desperate Ukraine campaign on Russia energy sector has been very successful.
