          (serious-posting)

          Just so we’re clear, being pro-Ukraine is not war mongering. And I’m being 100% serious and not satirical in saying that.

          Russia turning from the second best army in the world to the second best army in Ukraine is hilarious and the most noncredible of journeys and so we’re going to joke about it. The Russian military has become noncredible.

          Not wanting my country to get involved in wars across the globe

          You’re right, wars in space are so much cooler

          Please, stop doubling down. You can have a clean slate. Voila. Clean Slate Wizard. Try "Hello, how are you, I’m a tank/plane/ship/drone enjoyer, although I think war… " Maybe fill in. Go from there.

          If ukraine loses it will obviously affect us, did you know that Ruzzia’s often fantasized about taking back Alaska and directing its legions of keyboard warriors to spread the lie that their sale of it to us was supposed to be temporary? In that case, RIP indigenous villages and gays in Anchorage

              Even though Ukraine isn’t the most wealthy of countries, the last thing I want to see is precidant for invading other countries like what they did to Moldova or Georgia. There has to be a line somewhere. Ukraine truly wants to stop Russia right now and the US benefits from removing a strategic competitor, acquireing new tactics and knowledge. Believe me, there’s a lot worse that the US and European governments can spend money on (and absolutely do)

              I have a moral argument too, but that’s for some other time. I get that it’s hard to sympathize with a country half a world away though.

              The Russians don’t seem to think so, they think Ukraine has multiple deep water ports capable of launching military fleets, as well as a key land bridge to western Europe. It is also a massive source of wheat and other crops, although the Russians have done their best to fuck that up with mines, traps and unexploded ordnance. What about the above says backwater shithole to you? Personally, I would like to go back to the days of polite Russians and cheap wheat. I hope you can convince them that they’re batshit crazy to invade their neighbors, because no one else has been able to do so in the last century or two.

                “Polite russians and cheap wheat” Amen to that, I’m incredibly sick of those ruzzian nationalists on social media going on and on about how their country owns everything and everyone and about how my country America is the most depraved and evil place there is because 2 of our men who love each other can officially marry, live normal lives, and be themselves with a far lower risk of alienation from family and community here, and I’ve even had one so obsessed with me he subscribed to me on YouTube just so he can throw the usual predictable, childish tantrums over 2 colors in my profile picture there and spam the emoji “🇷🇺” and/or “something something ukronazisTM”, “Alaska was supposed to be a temporary lease!!” or “something something US imperialism something something DA GEYYYYYYYZ” in response to unrelated comments of mine that don’t even mention his precious war.

                There are even some who celebrated the war crimes their regime’s fellow terrorists (tbc I mean Hamas, not the Palestinian people and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise) recently committed against civilians in Israel in the hopes that it killed those Russian Jews who “betrayed ze mazarland” by bolting for the country last year, knowing more than any other group that nothing good will or historically has come to their kind from life under another racist, expansionistic and extremely far-right dictator who outlaws pretty much everything.
