“Things wouldn’t be so bad if they just stopped resisting. Why don’t they? They don’t want to fight, statistically.”
I’m amazed at how often the “rapist argument” pops up on Lemmy, in respect to Ukraine.
Yeah, maybe their civilian population is sick of war, and they don’t want to be drafted. And maybe Ukraine should make their own decisions/have their sovereignty respected. But, you know, disrespecting their sovereignty is the whole reason this is happening.
So even if you are unquestionably right, what the heck does it matter? Russia doesn’t care what Ukraine thinks, nor anything about their sovereignty and decision making power, otherwise they wouldn’t have launched a massive military invasion Ukraine clearly did not consent to.
This is Lemmy. I ain’t telling you squat about my personal life; it’s beside the point, which is that supporting the invasion of Ukraine and opposing the assault on Iran is hypocritical. Of course neither civilian population likes the war, but is that justification for them to just fold their right to sovereignty?
Only a quarter of Ukrainians want to keep fighting, yet they are using forced conscription to put civilians on the front line.

Lmfao, democracy is rape now, folks.
I am going to remember this next time a western power invades someone to “defend democracy.”
I’m sure you’re protesting the invasion of Iran right this moment, lmao
Yes. Yes, I am! It’s a shitshow, and whether we like the country or not, Iran at least deserves to have its sovereignty recognized.
Good work, proud of you! Are you American? Which protest are you marching in?

Tell me why Russia invaded Ukraine.
War is hell. Too much suffering affect people rational thinking and the majority lose the will to fight.
I’m sure they’re thrilled that you want them to fight til the last Ukrainian.
I want Russia to stop treating Ukraine as part of Russia and widhdraw from occupied territories so ukrainians do not have to fight till the last one
Why does it matter what you want if you don’t live in either country?
Humanity. Do you live in Russia?
