    Trust me, nobody here is itching for a fight with russia. Most of us just want to live our lives without worrying about a bully neighbour driving tanks (or riding donkeys, heh) over borders.

    Ukraine isn’t fighting because we asked them to or because we want them to. They’re fighting because they woke up to an invasion.

    And we will continue to support them because if you let a country grab land by force (let alone reward them for it, witkoff you idiot), it won’t stop there. It makes the whole region less safe. So no, it’s not about wanting a war. It’s about trying to prevent a bigger one.

      Fucking Europeans are in no position to complain about other countries grabbing land by force and getting away with it. It’s rank hypocrisy to act like the antipathy to Russia has anything to do with principled opposition to “bullying neighbours” or “making the region less safe” when Europe is still shoveling money at Israel, protecting the people who butchered Iraq, Libya, Syria, and plenty more, and never found an American invasion they didn’t support until they realized it might negatively affect them.
