Whose existence?
Seriously, what kind of mental gymnastics one needs to do to consider this a valid argument..
Show me, how is the existence of people on liberated territories (like Crimea, Melitopol and so on) are threatened?
Or maybe those people are actually okay (well, at least relatively to those of us who are still stuck on Zelensky controlled territories...) and it's the lives of those whom Zelensky can still reach are threatened, because his regime can kidnap them at any moment and send to the meatgrinder?
Are you absolutely seriously asking whether it is better to almost cetrainly die now, or have a chance of dying later in some hypothetical situation later? I'll choose the latter every single time, thank you..
No, it's also not OK. It doesn't happen on even remotely similar scale to what Zelensky is doing.
Probably not.
At least they are alive in contrast to all the men Zelensky's regime kidnapped and sent to die.
So, the same as in Ukraine, but without the kidnappings and with an ability to leave at any time.
Maybe if blood thirsty dictator putin didn't start a war of aggression, there could have been 0 deaths. I'd rather die fighting russia than dying by their firing squad, being raped, tortured, electrocuted or malnourished in their prisons.
That's probably correct. I'm not Putin though, could you please not hold me accountable for his actions?
Ok, that's your choice, you are free to do whatever you want, including dying for your beliefs, it is not a problem.
A problem begins when you want/support other people dying for your beliefs.
But "Ukraine bad", "Russia good" right? Why criticizing only Ukraine and Zelensky since they're defending their land and not even a word against Russia or Putin?
You make it seem like that surrendering to an invasion is the right thing to do. So if Russia decided to invade the whole of Europe we should sit waiting for russian soldiers to rape our sisters and moms and execute us with our hands tied behind our back?
Moreover, in occupied Ukraine people get drafted anyways by Russia to fight Ukrainian soldiers. So what? Should they surrender waiting to go to the opposite side?
I never said "Russia good".
Here, just for you: Russia and Putin are bad.
No, I don't.
No, you are free to do what you want, including fighting Russia. But if you try to to kill me, my family, my friends - don't be surprised that I'd rather support Russia than you..
People who accept Russian citizenship (which is generally not forced onto anyone) may get drafted (there was some exemption though for people on liberated territories till 2024, not sure if it's still in effect though). People are frre to leave at any moment though.
This is also wrong, but in no way comparable to Zelensky's regime kidnapping people on the streets every single day and trapping them in the country. (There were some cases of that happening in LPR & DPR previously, which is also terrible, but again not nearly on a similar scale to what Zelensky is doing)
Lol, people usually report me because "spreading misinformation/propaganda" or something along those lines, but @SomeGuy69@lemmy.world is more creative and reported this comment for "talking like a true rapist" :D
