  • So the argument is basically same as saying that the americans committed genocide during vietnam war because of the draft.

    It’s not at all the same. What US government did to their own citizens and to the countries they invaded is also terrible, but US government can’t really genocide US citizens. People in US can have guns and can defend themselves from being kidnapped on a street and put into vans by people in masks. We, Ukrainians, can’t really defend ourselves. Our only options are running or knives / pepper sprays. It is not an effective defence mechanism against people with rifles. I am also not aware of people being kidnapped by US government (at least on the scale Zelensky is doing that) during Vietnam war. Nobody prevented people from leaving the country. The terror that Zelensky is doing is in no way comparable to what you’re trying to compare it with.

    As a European that’s what I expect our government to do during an invasion. I would not call that genocide even if I’m sent to die.

    Well, you don’t value your life or other people’s lives. I do.


  • So your point is that Ukraine is committing genocide by forcing their citizens to defend their country?

    Zelensky’s regime is commiting genocide by kidnapping people on the streets and sending them to die, yes.

    And somehow they are the bad guys, not the imperialist Russians?

    As far as I know, real life doesn’t work like cartoons where there is a good guy and a bad guy. I never said that Putin is a good guy, I even explicitly said otherwise (for those who like to go to through my comments). And yet, whenever I mention Zelensky exterminating Ukrainians somebody must say “BuT tHEn You SuPPoRt RuSSiA!!”…

    Maybe I misunderstood, but if not, that is some impressive mental gymnastics.

    Way less impressive than funding a war, exterminating people, mass imprisoning them and so on, and still still somehow claim that you support them…







  • You didn’t answer my question “what evidence (…) would be needed for you to admit that we don’t want to fight, and it’s Zelensky’s regime (…) that forces us to (…)” :(

    Putin is trying to take your homeland and you’re doing nothing to prevent it.

    What do you mean “take”?
    What prevents me from living on the land Putin has taken?
    Or let’s be more exact - what prevents people in Crimea, Melitopol and other cities/regions taken by Putin to continue living there?
    Or maybe you want to say that the life there is worse? Then please define in what way. Is it being able to freely move? Is it not being a subject to mass kidnappings? Is it being able to speak your mother tongue without being discriminated for it (or worse…)? Is it being able to form political parties? Is it being able to vote for your president (even if you consider the elections rigged)?

    You’re not even in your own country…

    I cannot return there, until Zelensky’s regime is done. If I go there - I won’t be able to come back. I’ll be imprisoned like the rest of the country. I’ll be sooner or later kidnapped and sent to die.

    Who should fight for their freedom if not the people that live there?

    Fighting for freedom is fighting against Zelensky’s regime, he is the one taking the freedom away. And it’s extremely hard to fight him, as long as he has western support.



  • and saying that Ukrainians should just give up.

    I’ll try to argue in good faith and ask you - what evidence (other than this post, apparently it doesn’t convince you) would be needed for you to admit that we don’t want to fight, and it’s Zelensky’s regime (with West’s support) that forces us to (and effectively genocides us)?

    How about all the Russians getting forced in to a war just to die?

    It’s also bad. Russia is not turned into a mass prison which people can’t leave and where they are kidnapped on the streets though, Ukraine is.
    A man in Russia can leave at any moment.
    A man in Ukraine is automatically a prisoner, he can only escape.

    Where is the criticism of Putin and his regime and the atrocities that he commits?

    Here it is: I condemn Putin for the atrocities he commits. I regularly hear from my friends and family, who are still in Ukraine, about Russian rockets/drones flying over them.


    You see, I’ve tried to argue in good faith with you, despite you supporting Zelensky’s fascist regime that tries to kill me and people I know. Now, can you do the same? :)
