  1. Better starving than to side with Russian criminals. And it's hardly that bad to begin with.

  2. Why would they leave EU? EU mostly benefits them.

  4.  @simulationbros  And yet we are still better off than Russia is. Makes no difference to me. As long we support Ukraine, I don't care if politicians are well off.

  5. Russia can only be approached as an enemy as long Putin is in power.

  6. No we didn't. Had Russia not invaded Ukraine, there would be no need for sanctions.

  8. Russia made us their enemy by attacking our allies in Ukraine.

  9.  @LjutaPtica  You mean separatists, and they aren't Russian citizens. They are Ukranian citizens. Any of "their" people that live outside of Russia are none of their bussiness. I wouldn't start a war to protect portuguese that live outside of Portugal. More like they couldn't take control a long time ago. Because they knew that if they rushed it, they would lose a lot of soldiers.

  17.  @Sacramentoidioto  I already did plenty of research before. I see nothing that shows that EU will fall. In your dreams will it fall. If it ever disapears is so it can assimilate all countries and become a nation instead. Even if it were to fall, we would have another union take it's place. Europe must stand united against the eastern criminals. "demands" that only a minority of people oppose. If there was a majority of them, then EU would comply with them. Good, because I don't need sympathy either, I need justice to be delivered against Russia. My eyes are open, and I stand with EU. Some politicians should. But specially the ones that lick Putin's boots They should be made to suffer for their sins.

  18. Not really. The Minsk agreement was worthless and deserved to be broken.

  22.  @wandererkenshin7557  Indeed. As they should. That's the right thing to do in response to Ukraine's invasion.

  23.  @Neumexa  Afraid not. There's no contradiction on what I said and what I do. It's not okay to invade another country, no matter the circustances. The only exception is if Ukraine had invaded Russia first, which would give Russia the right to retaliate and invade them back. If EU lacks the means to punish them, then we can do nothing about it. I will accuse, because I know better, and because I'm a better person than Putin is. Which is wrong. Ukranian citizens aren't any of Russia's bussiness.
    1
  24.  @Neumexa  Indeed I can, for I'm right. Except Russia isn't at risk. And even if it was, by letting Ukraine invade them (as absurd that sounds), they would have earned the right to invade Ukraine. By being the first to invade, they lost any moral ground.

  25. ​ I'm definetely I am better than him, that's an absolute fact. I don't have a single sin that even compares to his. Even if I was simple minded. That is no sin.

  26.  @Neumexa  Lol. Russia is bigger than Ukraine. Afraid people aren't the same thing as counties. Russia is bigger than any of those countries that "surround" Russia. By your bad comparison. Russia would be a giant among children. A giant that can use nukes. So the "security concerns" excuse is bullcrap. If they don't attack me, then I have no reason to fight them. As it should be. Russia is still a threat, since Putin is in power. A former KGB member, on top of that, they have nukes. It doesn't matter if USRR collapsed or not. Russia exists in it's place, which is virtually the same nation with a different government. And Russia's red lines are unjustified. Lol, do you honestly believe that Russia wanted to join NATO? That was just a scheme to get NATO to reject them outright and make NATO look bad. NATO exists to oppose Russia, as well other potential threats. It makes no sense to let the fox in the barn. Containing Russia, prevents it from invading other countries. So it does it's intended purpose. Russia shouldn't be allowed to expand anywhere.

  27.  @Neumexa  Afraid I'm better than him. Your opinion doesnt' change that fact. Not different enough to not be held by morality. A president is no more special than a farmer when it comes to sinful behaviour. If I was the president of a country, you can be sure that I would never invade first. That's fine by me. Even if somehow the country collapsed, I would still have done no sin in doing the best I can do. Not to mention that I could simply resign and let someone else take my place, if I felt like it was over my head. Putin could have resigned, but never did for his sins. Let them hate, hating me, doesn't make me it a sin either. Many good people are hated by evil people or misguided people. Then that goes to show that what is "healthy" for a country isn't healthy to the person ruling it. Sin is sin, no matter who you are.
    1
  28.  @Neumexa  It affects a lot. Russia being bigger, makes it more capable of covering more ground and thus force any would be invaders to divide forces. That assumes that person already attacked you before. Since Ukraine didn't attack Russia, Russia has no right to retaliate. Trump is a disgrace, only DeSantis is worth something. I pity the americans if they get any of old farts into power. Also, USA being a threat or no threat. Russia takes priority. What nonsense. European politics are far better now than they were 80 years ago in WW2. Simple, USA wouldn't have any right to invade either, unless said countries invaded USA. Also, you forgot that Cuba crisis involved nukes, which Ukraine doesn't have. I don't need to know what was in their heads. Anyone with a brain and basic understanding would realize that NATO wouldn't take them in. Russia was still a threat after Putin took over. That's what you believe. What is written in paper is different. So more whataboutism. Proof that there are foxes in the barn? Not a single Russian, North Korean or Chinese is leading NATO. You are forgetting the fact that NATO isn't an nation, and that wherever it expands to is with the permission of the country that allows them to. It doesn't matter what they do. If Russia is going to bully Ukraine, then it gets what it deserves.

  29.  @Neumexa  Then you believe wrong. Simple as that. I'm better than him. Not really. All humans anwers to God in equal measure. No matter their position. My comparison is perfect. It doesn't matter what their responsibility is, if you kill an innocent, that makes one a worhtless human being, no ifs or buts. He started a war, which dragged innocents into his mess. Whoever invades first is to blame. He doesn't need to give an order to kill innocents. Just starting a war is bad enough. Ukranians being treated better or not (which could easily be a lie), doesn't erase his sins. Whetever it lasts long or not, the future will take care of that itself. Then I'm proud to be a "silly" politician. Morality is more important than meeting your approval of what is a "good" politician. You do realize that if they do invade me first, it would give me the right to invade them in return? It would be a win-win situation for Russia, as Russia is virtually unbeatable in defense of their territory. And 200% of myself means to priotize morality and doing all I can whitin my power. If someone could do better than me, than yes, that's what any leader should do if it proves too much. Then Russia is out of luck. If Putin is the best they have to offer, then Russia will never be trusted. What terrifying things? I wouldn't invade unless they invaded first, remember? Lol, more like he's shameless. Even if he has more guts than you, guts alone doesn't make you a good person. I don't believe in karma either, as karma isn't even a christianity thing, but part of Hinduism and other less known religions.

  30.  @Neumexa  I don't need to decide. Good and evil is written in stone. Based on what is good and what is evil, that makes me a better person than Putin. Hardly overconfident. I compare everything I did in my life so far over my 35 years of existance, to what Putin did in recent years, and that alone would allow me to reach the conclusion that I'm a better person than he is. There's no other conclusion I could draw, no matter how much I think about it. Hardly the case. Bugs aren't people, and aren't innocent either. God doesn't care for any bugs and animals, specially if the killing is needed. It started in 2014, when Russia backed the separatists. They were killed due to coleteral damage from both sides. Had separatists not started a civil war, there would be no civilian deaths. Maybe they both are. But that's besides the point. Provocation is no excuse to invade. If provocation was all it took to kill people, then the entire world would be burning by now. There's no such thing in war, but if war is going to happen anyway, might as well make sure that you are on the defending side against invasion so that you are morally justified in invading them back in retaliation. If people died because my enemies attacked, that would be my enemies fault, not mine. Which would justify an invasion in retaliation. You understimate me, if you honestly think I can't stay clean in politics. Once again, popular opinion doesn't matter, only what God thinks. That's fine. Lasting long or not. I would do what is right. I don't care what happens to me to do what is right. Simple. Do what is right. Let them hate. Whatever would happen, I would do what is morally right. Of course it's trusted by countries who share his moral bankrupcy. It's hatred of the west that unites them, more than trust. If it benefitted them, they would gladly backstab each other. That's fine by me. The blood of invaders is justified. Killing evil people and invaders is morally right. Guarantees? Lol. It's Russia we are talking about here. Russia was always been good at stopping invasions cold in it's tracks (Literally). Also, nobody can guarantee anything on such scale. The best one can do is to stick with what is right and do all that is whitin one's power to defend it. I am already a good person. What others think doesn't matter. Same for Putin, it doesn't matter if his people think he's a good person, because his sins are too big for him to be one.

  31.  @Neumexa  If all one does is rely on artillery, then they will eventually run out of ammunition. You can't invade a country whitout troops on the ground. Also, an artillery attack would pretty much qualify as an invasion attempt, making it justified to invade in retaliation. Donbas rebels are Ukraine's concern, not Russia's. Russia should care about the people whitin it's borders, it's citizens. Then you don't see any problem with killing Donbas rebels who clearly made their intents of hurting pro-Ukranians clear. DeSantis isn't an old man, and that's what matters. He's not as arrogant as Trump, nor old fashioned, and since he has more to lose than an old man, he can be more easily trusted. Either way, neither Biden nor Trump will make the cut, what the Americans need is a government led by someone younger. Both USA and Russia are a threat, and right now, Russia takes priority. Which is not my problem. What other politicans do is their problem. Name me countries that invaded Russia in recent years. And, no, decades ago isn't recent and you would have to be crazy to do so as well. Also, USA being invaded or not, fact is that's all the more reason, why USA has no right to invade any country, no matter what other countries do whitin their borders. Doesn't matter, no nukes, no foul. If Ukraine didn't try to invade Russia, then Russia has no right to invade Ukraine. Yeltsin was just another garbage, forgettable, but still garbage. Hardly. My argument stands and thus never ran out. KGB are among some of the most ruthless organizations in the world, and you somehow don't see a problem with that. Imagine thinking that changing insults towards EU, makes your arguments any more believable. Doesn't matter what Russia wants. Their security concerns are meaningless, since Russia is virtually invincible in it's own land. They have nukes, that alone makes invading Russia a very bad idea even if one were to suceed in winning. The right kind of argument. I'm 35 years, and had proper education. Putin's sins are undeniable.

  32.  @Neumexa  I will. I have no reason to believe otherwise. More than that. I donated water and food to many people in need. Indeed we are on different levels. I never killed innocents nor started wars. I would be a saint by comparison to him. Exactly. "everyone", bugs aren't anyone, since they aren't people. And even among people, evil people deserve not to live. Illegal or not, it was what Ukraine wanted as a whole, only a minority of the east side opposed it. No double standards. West Ukraine is a majority, East Ukraine is a minoirity. If most of Ukraine rebelled, then you would have a point, but that's not the case. What USA does wrong, doesn't justify what Russia and the rebels did wrong. Not when those people aren't even Russian citizens, so it's none of Russia's bussiness. They are part of Ukraine, and thus they are Ukraine's responsibility to deal with as they see fit. Exactly, and USA was wrong in invading Iraq, as a result, even if said weapons did exist. Hardly let it happen. If there's no invasion, then there's no reason to attack. Let them hate. Doing the right thing is more important. No it won't. Whoever attacks, is to blame. Since I'm part of the nation being attacked, that would make me a victim. I can't kill anyone by doing nothing. Whoever shoots the bullet is the one that kills. Simple, because whitout invasion, there can be no proof that they will attack. Thus, one shouldn't act in haste. If their "right" doesn't correspond with what is actually right, then they are wrong. But I didn't "understand" it. Because I don't agree with it. True morality is absolute. Pragmatism and immorality go hand in hand quite a few times, so that doesn't necessarily make it sound better. That's fine by me. Once they attack, I would have every right to invade. It doesn't matter if you think it's a bad strategy or not. Morality takes priority before cold logic. If nobody is good, then nobody is worth of living. Simple as that. Most people in this world are good. Good thing what you think doesn't change what I am. I'm a good person no matter what you believe.

  33.  @Neumexa  I already know about that, which I already posted about in a previous post. Which still requires ground soldiers to invade. And like I said before, if there was an attack on Russia, then Russia would have the right to invade, but since Russia wasn't attacked. Russia has no excuse. When they rebelled against their government in 2014, the Ukranians made their choice. And Russia shouldn't have helped. They are rebels, and they should have accepted their government or move to Russia. And equals as they are, the ones that are attacking EU's ally, Ukraine, is Russia. Thus, we Europeans should priotize Russia. I didn't say they were. I said most people are good. Read the post above better next time. I didn't start anything, that was my conclusion ages ago. I'm always prepared for the consequences, specially my death. For I don't care if I live or die, as long as I do what is right. And I pity Russians for paying attention to such a worthless man. If only that was the only thing. KGB is just the tip of the iceberg. His actions in the past decades have been nothing but an affront to EU. I'm not defending CIA, so why are you bringing them up? KGB was worse than CIA btw. I see plenty of problem with CIA, but I see more in the KGB. I failed nothing though. The rest of your comment on this paragraph makes little sense, your english is mediocre. That's fine by me. To do what is right, paying such a price is the right thing to do. You call it carelessness, but in reality, it's the only course of action to defend the dignity and morality of one's nation. I don't watch Tiktok. Nice Ad Hominem. I watched sources from all sides. And since neither side denies that Russia invaded Ukraine, that makes it Russia's fault. No ifs or buts. And as a result of being younger than me, you are some edgy person who thinks cold logic is everything, when morality is more important than what is pragmatic. You lack experience with life to understand what truely matter in the end.

  34. ​ @Neumexa  Well, you shouldn't have bothered making such pointlessly long posts to begin with. Keeping them short, makes it easier on both the writer and the reader. Doesn't matter if it works or not. One must do what is right. Even if the command center is destroyed, one can still keep fightning whitout orders. Doesn't matter if it gets assimiliated or not. Morality is more important than national pride. And one's nation can live on in one's heart. "I agree that morals are important, but they never will be higher then survival" That's the problem right here. You think survival is more important than being an upstanding human being. Life will inevtiably end. There's no point in surviving at the expense of morality. One is better off being dead than give up on what is ideal. I'm fine with taking my life if that's the only recourse left to me, should worse come to worse. Morality comes first.
    1
  35.  @Neumexa  There's always a right thing to do in all decisions of import. What gives you an advantage or not, can also be imoral or not. Never said that one wouldn't make plans. Just that those plans won't include immoral behaviour. That's your problem if you don't think like that. Only through true morality can one build a trustworthy society. I know the truth, so I can claim what is more important. Then you know nothing about me. Unlike you, I welcome death, when it comes. I fear losing my ideals more than I fear losing my life. That's fine by me. When I'm dead, I don't want to go back, at least not to this world. And if I simply cease to exist, then I will never have to care about anything ever again and can rest eternally. You are free to be wrong on your opinions, but whitout morality, humanity has no worth and would be undeserving of surviving in the first place. It's not a little bad thing, when it involves killing innocents or starting wars. A little bad thing would be stealing (and if your target of stealing is evil, then it's not a bad thing in the first place). Starting a war or killing innocents is a very big thing to do. I wouldn't hesitate to do harm to evil people, and I wouldn't hesitate to choose to do nothing against innocents.
    1
  36.  @Neumexa  The world being more difficult or easier, doesn't justify any imoral acts. There's nothing to understand. People who do evil, are tainted, and are never good. It's never early enough to be a decent human being from the start to finish. Whetever it's natural or not, I should accept it when it happens. As long I die being what I want to be, that's all that matters. "nothingness" is still rest. I won't have to think at all, all will cease to be and thus I will never get tired or weary, for I won't be able to feel anything. I disagree. If I were to sacrifice ideals, I would rather cease to exist. Better to disappear and die with my integrity intact. I don't want to experience anything more than I should, if it means sacrificing morality. And that's fine by me. Since many people live their lives whitout ever doing anything truely evil. Humanity wouldn't go extinct, but at least 30% of the population would die out.

  44.  @MrShaheer  Since when it's illegal votes democracy? The referendums they held were a sham.
    1
  45.  @krevetka9744  As it should. Viktor was a Russian puppet, most of the West Ukraine, which represents most of the population of the country wanted him out. North Korea also looks "fine", and someone has yet to be overthrown. An illegal referendum, supervised by Russia. There can be no impartiality. Same for current referendums. As they should decline, since separatists wanted Donbas for their own, which is ground for rejection by default. Separatists should have left for Russia instead of fightning.
    1
  46.  @krevetka9744  1. Most of those were separatists, and they kidnapped and tortured pro-Ukranians. 2. There can be no negotiations with rebels who kill Ukranians. They started a civil war. 3. Doesn't matter. Some of my ancestors lived in France, that doesn't make the land they lived in mine. It's ultimately Ukranian land. By rebeling, they lost any right to it, since they plotted to steal it from the government. Then there you have it. Russia never cared about them until now as an excuse to invade Ukraine. Either way, I have no sympathy for them. They should have accepted Ukranian government, and if needed denounce their Russian ancestry. Since they rebelled instead, I say, to hell with them.
    1
  47.  @krevetka9744  Then why care now? They are still Ukranian. They should have continued not caring. They aren't worth starting a war over. Rebels deserve their fate. My mind is plenty of made up. Russia should never cared then, and shouldn't care now. No, I don't. Because they rebelled to steal Donbas and because they didn't want the current government. If they willingly accepted it and didn't start a civil war, there would be no reprisals. If this was truely about ancestry, then why only Donbas is targeted? Most of Ukraine has Russian ancestry.
    1
  48.  @krevetka9744  Declaring independence, it's an attempt on stealing land. I already understand virtually everything, so there's little room for better. As they should have rebelled. Since Viktor was an Russian puppet. If Ukraine is to be rid of Russian influence, that's the right step. Also most of Ukraine was in favour of it. Unlike Donbas which are a minority. As we should support. They turned violent because they rejected the will of the majority. I don't see any double standards. It's not reasonable at all. Should California of USA, or say Açores from Portugal declare independence, should we consider that "reasonable"? No. They are property of their respective countries, and we wouldn't let them go unpunished. There's no more talk to be had, Donbas wants their independence no matter what, and Ukraine will never accept it. No negotations are possible.

  49.  @krevetka9744  Ukraine has become independent in 1991, at which point, Crimea was no longer an republic and part of Ukraine. The autonomous republic ceased to be since 1945. And what they want should be denied. Simple as that.

  51.  @Oliveir51  And how does that change the fact that it was the right thing to do? Doesn't matter, since we never intended to have NS2 active. EU was been forever refusing to use it. There can be no neutrality when Ukraine, EU's ally is being attacked.

  52.  @Oliveir51  You mean, on EU's decision. USA doesn't order us. There would be no war. USA invasion of EU would be a blatant unjustified attack, that USA wouldn't be able to hide. USA would lose any sort of credibility it has.

  53.  @Oliveir51  No it wasn't. Ukraine is EU's ally.

  56.  @simulationbros  Please, that's nothing. 2008 was bad, and it wasn't nothing we couldn't handle. Also we aren't in double digit. Most countries are below that number. Not to mention that double digit isn't that big deal even if we were. Makes no difference. EU can adapt. There are many things we didn't do before, but now we do, don't we? That's what you believe, Russia is worse. And corrupt or not corrupt, they are still our allies, as the Association Agreement says so. That's fine by me. Corrupt country or not, innocent people still live there, and if it saves even a few people, then it was worth it.

  57.  @simulationbros  Yes, I'm sure about that. Basically, barely above double, and assuming you actually got accurate numbers and not what Russia feeds you. Not sure why you want to make a fuss over this. Sounds like to me that you are just doomsaying. People have been predicting EU's fall in various years, but never happened. Not delusional, confident. EU is stronger than you give it credit for. It doesn't matter if we saw it before or not. EU will adapt. Countries have survived with worse, so can we.
