"Ever since russia invaded ukraine... Americans i know have been texting me asking if me and my family are safe. I live in the balkans."
"Also if Russia can be banned from the Olympics for invading Ukraine, then the USA should have been banned from all the Olympics that occurred when we were in Iraq."
"It's gonna make the Ukraine shit look tame by comparison. And Redditors who are either too young to remember Iraq or didn't learn any lessons from it are going to show us their support for declaring another war they're never going to fight themselves."
"withheld congressionally approved funding to Ukraine unless they conducted an investigation into his political rival"
"And CNN and the neoliberal institutions were right, I know we are L posting but the left in general is taking the L today."
"They get to the war in Ukraine, arguing if Putin could have been convinced to not attack Ukraine. I bring up Dagestan and Chechnya, and neither of them have the faintest idea what I'm talking about. I even bring up the pseudo-war in Ukraine leading up to the current conflict and they are STILL cluel"
"Got kicked out of an hipstery cafe yesterday because the girl I've been with didn't have her second dose yet (she's from Ukraine). Took her to a baklava place, nobody gave a fuck."
"small nations (ukraine eritrea) shouldn't exist if a bigger nation needs their land (russia ethiopia)"
"should go no deeper than debating whether zelenskyy is a 0 or 1 on the binary and fretting about whether the sanctions against russia will cause the price of canned sardines to rise. we are dumb bitches here, let's not forget our roots."
"imagine being an adult in 2025 and believing that the US supported Ukraine for moral reasons. Some people really do have a children's brains, stg."
"There's a constant refrain on Hamas murdering *and raping* despite there technically being no verified accounts of rape as of writing this. I'm not naive. I know there has but the fact that it jumped to everyone's mind immediately is interesting. You didn't see the Russian invasion of Ukraine descri"
"There are people who were in the initial draft who have seen ~1,000 days of apocalyptic combat with almost no respite (the UKR army doesn't have the manpower to do rotations). And in 2024, the UKR Army has formally had around 30,000 desertion charges. The idea of some poor bastard just cracking afte"
"I talked to the Dad tonight. The kid isn't some experienced soldier, either. He graduated high school 3 months ago, so he probably doesn't even know how to grocery shop for himself yet. And by volunteer, I mean zero pay. The dad complained he had to pay two thousand dollars just to get him over ther"
"What's your accent? Where are you from? Ukraine, but she's lived all over. Do you have family there? She does, but she hasn't been in contact with them for a long time."
"The arguments went from "You're absolutely braindead if you think Russia is going to invade just because Putin said they're going to invade and they've parked their entire military on the border of Ukraine! Nice job on swallowing CIA propaganda!" To "Alright, they invaded, but they're going to reach"
"not to mention the fact that it was Biden's administration which prolonged the war in Ukraine in the first place by telling Zelensky to not go to the negotiating table back in 2022 when they had the initial upper hand."
"my little brother's friend, an eleven year old girl, now has no legs and no parents thanks to putin. "most ethical war since WWI". quit ackchyually-posting and go exercise or something."
"I didn't even know he was drafted, he was the nicest fucking guy and ran his business out of a small town out in the absolute boonies, and out of the blue I get a email stating that his name appeared on the roster of dead solders."
"Ages ago back in February I entertained a young man I'd met on 4chan before he went off to disaster tourism the Ukraine and while he was there he got incredibly clingy and depressing and I cut ties with him."
"here in europe people are hoarding sunflower oil because there's going to be sunflower oil scarcity thanks to the war in ukraine inshallah this conflict will rid society of seed oils..."
"However he now brings up Russian talking points at an alarming rate, talking about Ukraine, Georgia and other countries for seemingly no reason. They are always spoken of as "part of Russia", and any rational conversation devolves in to him shouting about how NATO and the globalist elites have basic"
"Russia invades ukraine and is supposedly under the harshest sanctions ever, but I could take a flight to Moscow tomorrow and I can still order russian caviar online"
"I am too "end of history" pilled to understand how Russians can support the war in Ukraine. Do they really want to absorb a country of 39 million people who hate their guts? Ukrainians have made it pretty clear how strongly they feel about this."
"the dean of my uni sent everyone an email just to say that the uni supports the sovereignty of the ukraine... they also set up a crisis team and a hotline for distressed students… i live in germany.. is it just me or does this feel a bit crazy"
"Putin starts talking about Ukraine trying to get Nuclear Weapons with the help of the West, and how Ukraine has never been a real country and it was created by Lenin on a whim"
"Any long term investment sounds crazy when I know I'm gonna be sent to die in Ukraine in 2026. I just can't shake the feeling that the apocalypse is coming, for real this time."
"I can't imagine anybody at those things imagines they're going to stop the invasion, but the desire to *do* something in the face of an upsetting event is totally natural. The protests certainly don't do any harm, and I can imagine at least some Ukrainians, very worried about the war, seeing lots of"
"In his 10-minute address to the nation, Zelensky warned that Ukraine might face a 'very difficult choice: either losing [its] dignity, or risk losing a key partner', an apparent reference to the US, which is reportedly pushing Ukraine to accept a plan to end the war with Russia - which launched a fu"
"The political ramifications would be immediate. The global economy will collapse, and Americas place in the world would be permanently abjected. Iran would be able to exert their influence in the Middle East. China and Russia would be given license to do whatever they want with Taiwan and Ukraine --"
"When looking at their demographic numbers, I genuinely don't understand how they continue to exist in the future. A 1/4 of Ukrainians have fled the nation as refugees, and as time goes on the percentage of them who say them plan on returning declines to record lows--only 50% in Germany wish to retur"
"someone asked, 'mr president, to be clear, you are convinced that president putin is definitely invading ukraine? is that what you just said a few moments ago?' biden says, 'yes, I did. yes.'"
"I find it hard to care about how the war is going because there's no way of verifying what's true and what's propaganda. You have the Ukraine soldier LARPers on here parroting CIA talking points from r/worldnews about how Ukraine is destroying the Russian orcs with ease and then you have edgelord ri"
"For reference, Ukraine received 24.5% of the televote during their 2022 win from Italy in the semi's."
"And as a nail in the coffin, to all doubters: ukraine got 24% and 29% in the final, and PR wise it's a much more popular war."
"yea ukraine is a cringe shitty country but it's even more cringe and shitty to justify invading it"
"Like apparently when he was in Ukraine he got engaged to a woman who was named either Dasha or Masha. I stop him and say he's winding me up and he knows I listen to redscare so he's doing a bit but he insists it's true."
"The MensLib subreddit is so pathetic when it comes to conscription of men in Ukraine. You cannot be posting about how we need to liberate men to read more woman-written books while turning around and discussing how violently forcing them into war "Is for the greater good." I don't care if it's unrea"
"Yes, I was here today and blown off the top bunk of my bunk bed in the barracks by the first missile. This is where all the foreign legion troops are, the 35 killed were all Ukrainian mostly due to a direct hit on their barracks next to mine. The base is destroyed, the weapons depot destroyed, possi"
"It took a new Marvel movie and r/place for Ukrainian war to stop appearing in the trending topics. I know it was inevitable, but still … Reddit is so stupid."
"Italian telly votes were circulated last night (they generally don't go out until after the Grand Final) and Israel won the vote by a ridiculous margin. 40% vs their nearest rival of 7% (Netherlands). For context, Ukraine got something like 25% of the vote back in 2022."
"handsome, perfect teeth, massive dick, makes $500k a month working at a Ukrainian gas company and all he has to do is photocopy stolen top secret documents, spends his days at his president dad's house smoking every drug there is and getting foot massages from minors"
"Absolute worst case is Ukraine gets invaded, shit gets pretty tense, we get to see another 100 articles per week about 'look Russia and the US are rly going to war now guise just watch', then a month later everyone forgets about it all."
"His Ukraine coverage has been: -Putin bad for invading -War is bad because death -America is wholly responsible for its plundering foreign policy in regards to Ukraine -The Neo-libs have used Ukraine for nefarious purposes, angering Putin -NATO is a big grift to force countries to buy American weapo"
"One of the baristas is a refugee from Ukraine named Katya. I only know this because I go in there every morning because, again, my mom said I have to. Anyway, the in front of me girl hears her accent and immediately asks her where she's from, which is actually fine imo."
"I come from the Romanian minority in Ukraine, my family had lived in the Ukrainian and Moldovan Soviet republics, I grew up in Moldova, but also lived in other countries and I just want to say that I find the romanticization of the Soviet Union absolutely appalling."
"He took a drag of his rolled up cigarette and replied 'The world of our parent's no longer exists, we will spend the rest of out lives lurching from one crisis to the next.' Then walked away. Russia invaded Ukraine not too long after this, and well yeah."
"I'm starting to get prickly about the lack of centralised response. Maybe it's a true Katrina situation where the extend of destruction is so intense that nothing can be done to expeditie personnel and funds. I have no doubt that those on the ground are doing everything they can. But meanwhile we ar"
"Bored rn and can't go out much (people are grabbed off the streets in my city), ask me anything (less questions about the war pls)."

"I got the shot, wore the masks and think we should probably help Ukraine, but the ferocity at which I was attacked for saying people should be free to disagree with that, or even questioned our country's role in its many entanglements was shocking."
