Same, and I have been scammed big money. The most horrible place I have ever tried to do business in, both from a financial and human perspective. In comparison, certain African countries are a heaven for investors.wellington said:

I think this would apply to many former SSR. Let's take Tajikistan. But they know that their only purpose during soviet time was to serve as well against the west or south without and real interest in either their culture nor the people there.JohnnyDoe said:
Serious question: why should you fight at all if a much more powerful and richer country, that coincidentally speaks your same language, decides to annex some of your territory? Shouldn't the logical thinking be trying to reach an agreement to give to that country the entirety of the territory?

Ukrainian citizens on this forum are unlikely to have influence or direct connections with the heads of state.

There are not many ethnic minorities that enjoy much cultural freedom within their bigger body country. Take Tibet, Xinjiang or even the Canadian first nations.

You mean like the New European Security framework that was presented in December 2021 but rejected by the West?JohnnyDoe said:

The argument that Kolomoisky backed Zelensky is not some crazy conspiracy theory, it's a documented fact.John Spectre said:
Zelensky was elected after Poroshenko because he promised to negotiate with putin about ending the war, so he got his fair high rating both among those who support relations with russia and among those who support relations with the west (although now the roosters will come out and say that the elections were bought by Kolomoisky).
The fact that the promises were not fulfilled, well, that's just it, these are politicians, it's not the first time.

But if those men are sitting online encouraging more war, referring to Russians as "orcs", etc, when other men are being pulled off the street to go into the meat grinder, they are the definition of cowards.John Spectre said:
- some people simply afraid to be killed/injured
- some people don't want to take weapon to his hands and kill another people
- some people was in army/ATO and known what is it and don't want (or can't because of injury) to return there
- some people are pragmatically decided that exchange of their live/health to the benefit of country is not worth. And it's a better to change their place of living and build new home for their family instead of being killed or injured to leaves own family to problems (don't forget that Ukraine is a poor country with low social security standards). so disabled man after war is a huge problem

Yeah, that guy serving fries at Hesburger who then goes on X after his shift to spread nonsense about the war is helping things. That video he posted off a Russian tank being blown up really helped. Slava Ukraine.John Spectre said:
Actually there are tons of another reason why people don't want or can't fight. It's a not a some kind of sport competition or evening trip to a restaurant where you participate and come back home unhurt. Cost of it own health/life.
Moreover, if people in AFU but not in front line - they are defending own country. And it's a more than million people there.
If people involved in the production of weapons, the support of the country's infrastructure, or simply the functioning of its economy - they are also in defense of their country. It's a bunch of millions people.

no country can defend itself against a stronger enemy if the state holds a referendum and plays at democracy. modern society will simply be against war and dictatorships will easily take over the world 🙂JohnnyDoe said:
Solution to all wars is simple and should be obvious in a democracy: a referendum must be held to send citizens to the front. Those who vote in favor automatically enlist in active military service and are conscripted on the spot.
