Mate, it’s democracy vs dictatorship. Russia didn’t invade the US, it invaded Ukraine. We would keep fighting even without US support. Freedom is non-negotiable

- irl_chad 4y agoThere wasn’t much support in the very beginning - sure, some javelins and NLAWs. Whether they were the difference maker is unclear. I see a lot of American “free thinkers” (who all think the same) push the argument that it was US provocations that lead to the war. While there are many many many (many…) counters to that, I will let the russians themselves offer their counter. Check out Putin’s essays on Ukraine - he (and the majority of russians) hold a deep belief that Ukraine is just part of russia, and that it should be returned to russia. As far as picking friends - who is giving military aid to help repel an aggressor, and who is killing, raping, torturing civilians?
- polotics 4y agoCan you detail what you mean by "US-instigated provocation". As far as I understand the only provocation is helping show with Ukraine that ethnic/cultural Rus people can live and indeed prosper in a democratic society, so the ills of Russia are demionstrably Putin-mafia induced.
- potatototoo99 4y agoIf it were non-negotiable you wouldn't have compulsory conscription.
- irl_chad 4y agoI fought mostly with the TDF and SSO - all of us were volunteers or professional military. I personally haven’t met anyone who said they were forced to fight. Except for Russian POWs who claimed they were forced.
- FredPret 4y agoCall it non-negotiable participation. Sounds like they have tons of volunteers though
