“Some of you may be willing to die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make” but unironically

Whoops I cut off their reply halfway thru.
I know you all hate Ukraine and think they should lay down and let Russia steamroll into Kiev and annex the whole country. But reality doesn’t always reflect your geopolitical wet dreams.
Geopolitics is when you think people shouldn’t die in a senseless war. It’s also somehow unrealistic
Yeah they should just submit to a genocidal invader! That’s WAY better than dying!
define genocide
The intentional destruction of a people in whole or in part. Russia is doing that to Ukraine.
We have evidence of Ukraine banning the use of the Russian language, import of Russian books, Russian music, the banning of “pro-Russian” political parties. So we know Ukraine is engaging in what could be called cultural genocide. I’d love to see your evidence of actual genocide happening, though. I’m sure it’s real!
This is in no way equivalent hahaha. What kinda swill do they hand out in the IRA breakrooms these days?
Russia is invading the heartland of another distinct ethnicity and purging it. Ukraine is not doing that. It is simply clamping down on political liberties to ensure a stable war economy and political situation. This happens in every country that is forced to fight for it’s own existence.
Perhaps the Ukrainians should concentrate the population that shows Russian sympathy into small camps
You know, to keep a better eye on them and to ensure the security of the Ukrainian identity against the perfidy of the Russian abhumans
Funny that one of the Baltic states proposed exactly this.
