- mahkeiro 5y agoBur remember that by treaty US and UK (and Russia of course) promised to defend Ukraine in exchange of their nukes. At least if they try to go after you, you can still argue that you were trying to comply to a treaty that both countries have decided to ignore.
- mvkel 5y agoUpon orders from the government, sure. Taking the law into your own hands based on vague interpretation is different.
- saurik 5y agoYeah: my city signing an MOU saying they will enforce parking restrictions doesn't mean I have the OK to camp out on the street and write my own tickets.
- vkou 5y agoTreaties get broken, and your argument will fall on deaf ears.
- prawel 5y agothey promised not to attack, not defend
- grayfaced 5y agoTreaties are between governments. Individual citizens are not a member of the treaty. You don't get any authority to pursue individual action.
- kweinber 5y agoAllies are dying today. Someone could help save them and you are talking them out of it?
- bink 5y agoI'm not trying to talk anyone out of anything. I'm just explaining how many people in my industry see this request. It's noble if some want to risk their livelihoods and supporting their families to help support the effort. Not all of us can make that sacrifice. I wish there was another option. I wish people in Ukraine weren't suffering.
- Teever 5y agoI guarantee you there are American veterans who are flying right now to Europe with the intention of making their way to Ukraine to help on the ground -- there were crazy fucks doing this in Syria a few years ago. That's a huge gamble. What you're talking about is not.
