Their whole country is built upon their land and blood. Country of thieves

@Leo Gura Tell this to the pro israelis here that lack basic common sense… I swear even pro Putin guys are not this brainwashed and in denial regarding their countries butchering

When I read these pro Israeli comments here I can finally understand how genocides like the Holocaust happened. I am baffled on the ridiculous rationalizations people make on mass murdering babies with no strategic reason other than pure vengeance. Disgusting.

I am not talking about being either naturally extroverted nor good looking. I am talking about people that have worked on developing their social skills and have decent social skills and socialize outside pickup. There are many ways to meet people that do not include cold approach. For example when I was in university I joined a university organization and there I met dozens of people via the events that they organized. There are other examples I can give outside of university. You do not need to be extroverted nor good looking to meet people that does not involve classic pickup. Also some cities have areas where you can meet people in a more warm fashion like longues and social areas.

What about guys that have tons of socialization experience? A shut in that never went out versus someone that has met thousands of people in his life will not have the same learning curve. I know many guys that never did cold approach but they have dating options because they are naturally social guys and had tons of practice meeting people. Cold approach is not the only way to meet people

@Nivsch Shooting those men is a war crime under the geneva convention. Shooting at defenless soldiers is a war crime. Basically even if they were terrorists (and I doubt they are but lets just say they are) they are POW (prisoners of war) and therefore should not be executed. It is simple war law

@Nivsch Women and childreen are not terrorists. Read the tweet properly. If they are men that are detained they are basically pow and it is a war crime under the geneva convention to shoot a pow.

@Leo Gura How come the USA did not get sanctioned nor Bush got an arrest warrant for war crimes while Putin did? If the conflicts are equivalent as you say

@Nivsch You could have pushed them without annexing their lands. Annexation is the issue here.

@Leo Gura What if you meet people and women in other ways? Like events, social circle, work so a combination of these. Does it necessarily have to be classic cold approach?

@Nivsch Sure but do not cry about people being anti semitism or hating on Israel or zionism. People do not like land thieves.

I think the best solution would be for Israel to go back into the 1947 borders and give back to Palestine all the stolen land that does not belong on those borders. They stole it illegally. The UN did not agree to land outside those borders so it is done by violating international law

@Danioover9000 I know its none of my business but @Nivsch is relatively fairly moderate pro Israeli, not a radical. He is of course in my opinion biased but quite open to criticism of Israel and also agrees on some important points. So I think it is a bit unfair to hate on him like this. I am assuming he did not private message you hateful stuff , if he did then fine.

Does it ever occur to you than Russia has 4x the manpower of Ukraine? Ukraine cannot replace lost soldiers. Weapons are useless if you have nobody to use them. Basically Russia can loose another 100.000 men and be fine. Ukraine cannot. They are already sending old men.

You seem to confuse me with justifying the invasion. I do not. I am just saying that fighting more will just cause you to loose more territories and get colonized more. Now if you think Ukraine has a chance to kick out Russia from the Ukranian territories they currently occupy then ok, I do not think they can. They tried and it failed.

No I did not call Ukranians Nazis, i think that is Russia propaganda to justify the invasion. I meant that the Western Ukranian hatred towards Russia, especially after Stalin starved intentionally millions of them in the 1930s was so great that they saw the Nazis as liberators and supported them in the beginning (before it became clear the Nazis saw ethnic Ukranians also as subhuman and began wiping them out). I honestly do not blame Ukranians in 1941 for supporting the Nazis considering the shit they had to endure under Stalin's dictatorship. It was just to showcase that Western Ukraine which is ethnic Ukranians have historically disliked Russia and I fully support them dying for their territory. However, considering that the CURRENT territory Russia has occupied is like 50% ethnic Ukrainian I am unsure whether they should die for it. Is it worth dying for Russians to live under Ukraine rather than Russia? Does that make sense? Perhaps those Russians want to be under Russia instead? Proof of that is the fact that Russia easily steamrolled those regions compared to the rest of Ukraine where it was deadlock stopped. What do you think?

I fully agree if Russia's goal was to take ALL of Ukraine but if it is just the 20% that is quite pro Russian, then I do not know what to say. Do not ignore that pre 2022 Ukraine was not much nicer to Russians living in eastern Ukraine. They were not represented in Ukrainian parliament nor was their language an official language in those areas. That is far from democratic. So calling Ukraine a democracy, at least for the areas that Russia is actually annexing is a bit of a stretch. The areas where Ukraine was indeed democratic (Western Ukraine) are currently not being occupied by Russia. And I would be so against that happening that I would support Ukraine fighting to the last man. Because those are the true anti Russian parts, and have been so since Stalin's time where they greeted the Nazis as liberators. If this is indeed true, then I take back everything I said before.

It was done during colonialism and it was wrong at the time. You cannot compare Alaska=USA with Russia=Ukraine.

I do not see 25% of Ukranian population being American? I do not see USA at Ukraine's border. I do not see Russia threating to put Nuclear Missles at Canada or Mexico either. Funny that when USSR did try to put Nuclear Missles in Cuba, USA invaded Cuba to overthrow the communist regime of Castro (which the Cubans openly supported) to stop USSR missles from being put there (Bay of Pigs invasion). So lets not act like this stuff does not happen. It is wrong though, no doubts on that.

I do not support what Russia did. It is obviously wrong, I am just explaining how the world WORKS. USA did similar things to Middle Eastern countries so I am not suprised at what Russia is doing. You need to be realistic and pragmatic in life. If a country would risk an USA invasion unless they did X thing USA wanted, then yes I would tell that country to obey the USA. Not because it is right but because survival takes priority over nationalistic pride. Also for the last time, you need to take the odds into account. If Ukraine had a good realistic chance of beating Russia, I would be all up for more fighting. I fully support for example USSR fighting back the Nazis, but I do not support Germany not making a peace deal after the Normandy landings in June 1944 where it became clear, they had lost the war. I also support Netherlands surrendering to the Germans in 1940 after the Rotterdam firebombing where they were threatend with Utrecht being destroyed next. It saved Netherlands countless lives when they had absolutely no chance to defeating the Nazis. See my point?

The areas of Donbas and Donetsk were not represented in the Ukranian parliament. Russian, the language that is spoken by over half of these territories that Russia has under control right now, was not an official language like Ukrainan was. Far more people speak Russian in Ukraine than people speak Italian in Switzerland yet still Italian is an official language of Switzerland. For these territories, you can not really call Ukraine a democracy.

@BlueOak The solution is to be Russia's bitch and keep a pro Russian government that does not go against their rule. It may sound unfair but that is how the world works. Geography is often a curse. Many countries have to be USA's or China's bitch for similar reason or they will get invaded, it is what it is. Ukraine is not alone here. Russia would never have invaded Ukraine if they did not go openly against Russia and towards the West. Ukraine can keep their internal policies the way they like, but the external policy must not go against Russia. Many countries tend to be like this, it is nothing new.

I never supported fighting unwinnable wars just because of nationalistic pride. It may sound romantic and often it is glorified in media but when you are in a trench getting blown apart by artillery you will realize how foolish it is. Right now he has 20% or so of Ukraine with many pro Russian areas. I dont think there was any proof that Putin wanted all of Ukraine. His original goal was just to change the pro NATO government into a pro Russian one and also to annex the pro Russian areas (Donesk and Donbas). If the war continues he might get up to half of the country. How does that serve Ukraine? Russians being kicked out of Ukraine at this point is a pure fantasy. They tried in summer and failed. Now they have less people and all their aid is being cut. How will they do, what they could not do with all the support? Use common sense. I am all up for fighting winnable wars but Ukraine fighting now is just making things worse for them. Better loose 20% than 50% of your territory. It is similar to when Germany kept fighting after 1944 instead of making peace. It costed them so much.

Because there are tens of thousands of Ukranians (close to 40.000 I think) fleeing the country and many others being drafted by force. Many do not want to die in a trench for nationalistic pride on an unwinnable war. They are literally dying for no reason, it is foolish and sad. If Ukraine had a good chance to win the war, I do not think many would oppose it. Also, you need to ask yourself how many of them are there by free will compared to either being brainwashed or drafted by force?
