        First open and read the article, there they talk about receiving “orders to invade russia”

        Doesn’t this make you rise an eyebrow?

            I guess i do. Do you not realize that receiving orders to invade another country is not a good thing?

              So you are against the Russian military invading Ukraine in 2014? And again in 2022? And Syria in 2015? And Georgia in 2008?

              Russia can end the fighting just by leaving Ukrainian territory. You are “against war”, so why not advocate for that?

              Edit: just ignore this guy. His posts are mostly downvoted.

                You are replying under a comment in which i said that receiving orders to invade another country is not a good thing. I’m advocating against other countries invasions, what exactly are you advocating for?

                  what are you advocating for?

                  Probably a conversation, composed of logic, not tongues, riddles, idiocy and lunacy.

                  If you’re here saying Ukraine is bad because it’s forcing people to go invade another country, and you’re going to make no effort to acknowledge the situations that have put them in a position to even need to have considered doing that, you’re an idiot.

                  Bending over backwards to avoid explicitly saying Russia did something bad lol

              The Russians should get the fuck out of Ukraine?

              “Not a good thing?”

              So when we invaded Germany in WW2, that was a bad thing. We shouldn’t have done that? Jesus you are thick lol.

              Let’s just ignore context and nuance, just make sweeping statements like a 13 year old who thinks they’ve figured out the world.

          Turnabout is fair play. Russia has no immediate intensions to stop the war, so Ukrainians took the fight to them.
