Oddbean new post about login | logout This is true. Ukraine has been an extension of the US government since 2014.
I don’t disagree. I’m not American though. Yet I’m still funding this fucking lunacy, a war that cannot be won.
There is a saying to this “do not shift your responsibility to others”
Great. So you’re happy for the West to cut funding and leave Ukraine to fund this lunacy trying to fight Russia itself? Right?!!
Yes, it will end up like with Afghanistan. But the problem here is that you are asking me this questions and not your government who does it!
Like Afghanistan where the Taliban replaced the Taliban after 20 years? So in Ukraine’s context that means what, the Banderites replace the Banderites? Your country was already run by fascist oligarchs, why should we care about which fascists end up in charge? My government throws money into your cokehead comedians fire because that’s all he cares about (give me some credit man!). We’re not supporting you with troops. You are the one who wants Western support. We don’t want to support your country. This is a YOU problem. Not us.
You dumb idiot !
Great comeback mate! You got me there!
That sounds redundant.
You’re not putting enough blame on the US government. 99% of this entire situation is their fault. Obviously we don’t want to fund the war. Obviously we don’t even want a war, and neither do the Ukrainian people, but we can’t control what our governments do to benefit themselves and their friends. This is 100% on governments and not citizens. Direct your anger at politicians, not yegor.
Rubbish. I have already done so: nostr:note1fy474tfuwafk8mxyx2wzmtk49mpre6299kf9h09u942czjf3u8uskf0g9t I’m challenging a Ukrainian to justify why we’re destroying ourselves for his shithole country that’s just gonna be controlled by fascists if they luck out and win this war. Replace Banderites with Banderites? How’s that different from Afghanistan? It’s not. It’s fucking stupid and outside of that bubble we all see what’s happening and want no part of it.
Why does he owe you a justification? What do you want him to do about it? The only people who owe you a justification are politicians. Ukrainian individuals aren’t at fault for any of this. If anything, they’re victims of US imperialism. You’re just instigating for the sake of an argument.
He’s supporting this war continuing. Ukraine is long done. He wants it to continue. He owes everyone an explanation, not just me. He wants our money to continue flowing to these crooks, he refuses to accept reality, let him explain himself.
