Why would I hope people die? And in what way is Ukraine doing well? Even Western sources agree the counteroffensive is a failure. It has yet to break thru the Russian lines

Why do you think Ukrainians don't want to defend their country?

If you suggest they better surrender asap because Russia has a bigger army, who do you think should be next?

Because they're banned from leaving and are being forcibly conscripted. If they wanted to fight it would not be necessary to ban them from leaving (trying to flee conscription) and it would not be necessary to forcibly conscript them.

I think they should surrender because the Ukrainians being forced to fight obviously do not want to fight, and because they have no chance of winning, so this is just senseless.

Do you believe the Russian soldiers are volunteers?

No they're also conscripted, but we're discussing Ukraine which is checks notes a different country, specifically a country which is losing people at an alarming rate.

So if a bigger country conscripts their people to invade you you should checks notes take the moral high road, get overrun and surrender as soon as possible

If a country is throwing thousands of people to their death against their own will in a futile attempt to win a lost war, then I think it's better those people get to go home and live, rather than die, since the end result is the same.

Had the situation been reversed then I would have called for Russia to accept a peace deal as well.

People dying for no reason is bad actually.

No reason?

Do you have any idea how many people Russia sacrificed to repel the Germans? Do you think the world would be better had they just followed your advice?

You are aware this analogy only works if you believe Ukraine is full of nazis, right?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You believe Hitler attacked the nazi's in Russia?

So in your analogy Russia isn't Russia? That's a pretty shit analogy buddy
