I think people downvote quite more readily to show disagreement here, not in the least because downvoted comments don't get buried.

And, like, seriously. If you can't even muster thoughts and prayers, if you can't even muster being indifferent, can't muster simply not leaving a comment at all, but have to shout your disapproval of Ukraine existing as a sovereign state from the rooftops, you're an asshole. Unambiguously.

In this case, probably an attention troll.

who wants thoughts and prayers.. you want people to observe some fake decorum and misrepresent themselves? are you familiar with nato and previous declarations that russia laid out time and again was a red line not to cross with regard to expansion into ukraine?

[–] barsoap@lemm.ee 3 points 18 hours ago (7 children)

Ukraine didn't even want to join NATO. Before the invasion, that is. Also Russia doesn't get to tell other countries which alliances it can and cannot join, what are you, an imperialist or something?

sorry if the truth conflicts with your 'reality'

Ukraine's intention to join NATO and create a hostile state bordering Russia is what triggered this.

[–] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

Did they have that intention when they disarmed their nuclear weapon in exchange for Russia promising to respect their sovereignty? What about when Russia invaded them in 2014?

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

No, russia invading a sovereign nation started this. Nato is a defense organization.
