Based on your history here, I’m not entirely convinced what your “we” is in this conflict, ngl…
Aren’t we at war to defend the values that allow us to have divergent opinions? I am and will be involved in the war, no matter what I say, because the majority decides. At the same time I think it’s at least a bit of my duty to point out that the German population is fooled once more.
While Ukraine does indeed also fight this war for the future of a free Europe, we are not at war.
But although Ukraine also fights for our values that allow us to have divergent opinions, that doesn’t stop people here that like to take an opposing position towards various matters to root for the other side. Can you say you want Ukraine to be victorious against Russia?
We are at war. The numerouse sabotage acts by russia, financing of causes that weaken europe. Blowing up factories, spying on us. They speak actively about nuking and obliterating all of europe in a nuckear holocaust
I agree, these are all hostile acts that could (and should?) be handled far more harshly to make sure no further escalation occurs.
We are adversaries. But legally, we are not at war (yet) and I don’t think either side has a strong interest to cross that threshold. Yet, some people like to paint the picture that we are led by warmongers that actively seek a military conflict with Russia. We don’t. But Russia should also be wary of its actions.
Oh fully with you!
From legal point we arent at war. We the EU and democratic europe doesnt want war. Russia, and we can agree on it, want it and will do it as soon as they can. It will be a death for russia (yay) they cant even defeat the brave martyrs of democracy, soldiers of ukraine.
Our leaders arent warmongerers. The only once that want war are the leaders, the propagandised and fanatics in russia. Its such a sad reality but one we have to be ready to face, together! The enemys from within and outside
It is a hybrid war with a lose lose lose situation for Ukraine. Win, lose, keep fighting, nothing is good. Seeing this like a sport event with teams to root for ignores how entwined the situation is.
Russia invaded Ukraine and right now, Ukraine has to fight Russia in order to survive. Nothing cloudy about that.
Everyone will have an opinion on the question whether they want Ukraine to succeed. Russia has a clear opinion, I have a clear opinion,…
The “team” I root for is fighting for its survival.
It’s your choice whether you want to root for them to survive or don’t.
It’s your choice to frame this as a competition of teams or not.
What will be the outcome if Ukraine wins?
Have you seen the surveillance that is coming up for the EU and the tendency to dissolve the nation states? Kyiv is fighting to be ruled by Brussels in exchange for Moscow. Ukraine won’t survive in the EU either.
Trying to equate the atrocities* Russia has so far conducted on Ukrainian soil and with Ukrainian people with being subject to EU regulations? Really?
*at least those we know of right now… who knows what else will surface up…
