Yes, exactly.
How? Surrendering in modern warfare is super hard, you will either be droned by enemy because they mistake your surrendering for attacking, or by your side for surrendering.
Sure, supply those who want to fight. You do know though, that people in Ukraine are given no choice? Zelensky forbade people to leave the country (and he is way more successful at keeping the western border safe than eastern one (that is, from people wanting to escape this hell) - weak against strong ones, and strong against weak ones). Zelensky's regime kidnaps people from the streets and sends them to the meatgrinder. If you care about "helping people fight against oppressive regimes" you should support those people, not the ones terrorizing them.
No, I meant Ukraine as a country could surrender.
I believe kidnapping citizens to fight is basically an express draft. Countries do it In times of war.
Not that this conversation matters. Neither of our opinions matter. Trump will stop support and they will becomes west Russia and I'm sure they will be kidnapped off the streets and drafted to go fight another war somewhere but this time not for thier country. USSR was soo nice before. I'm sure they didn't treat Ukranians poorly before and certainly will not now that they put up a fight for years embarrassing russia.
Well, it just so happens that I care more about people, actual living humans, their lives, and not countries.
I believe kidnapping people and sending them to die is kidnapping people and sending them to die.
Well, that's true I guess. Like most/all of the "battles" in comments. I just don't think there is something more I can do to stop Zelensky terrorizing people, other than try to convince randos on the internet to stop supporting his regime :(
I sure hope so, this is the only (realistic) outcome where my family and friends and every other Ukrainian survive.
I don't think so, that's just a scarecrow the west is using to continue the war.
Well, now Russia definitely does treat us better though. Those who are in the liberated cities are the lucky ones who can freely move around.
Let's hope you get your best outcome. I hope I am wrong for the sake of the people of Ukraine.
Thank you.
