Because this is their homeland. They do not want to be ruled by a tyrant.
You must not understand that for many people, freedom is worth sacrificing one's life.

Because they do not want to be part of Russia. They want to be Ukraine.

If the Ukrainian President is killed how would we respond? How would other countries respond ?

So if that’s the case US gun owners should just all surrender their weapons amirite?

Because they are a sovereign nation. Because they value their independence. Because Russians have already made it clear they are rounding up and butchering anyone they perceived as “anti-Russian”, which means every Ukrainian is fair game. Do you know the history of how Russia has treated Ukraine?!?!

+1. Many people would rather die in a fight for freedom rather than live under murderous troll Putin.

A majority of American voters say that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine had former President Trump still been in office, according to a new survey released on Friday.

A new Harvard Center for American Political Studies (CAPS)-Harris Poll survey released Friday found that 62 percent of those polled believed Putin would not be moving against Ukraine if Trump had been president. When looking strictly at the answers of Democrats and Republicans, 85 percent of Republicans and 38 percent of Democrats answered this way.

A majority of Americans polled — 59 percent — also said they believed that the Russian president moved on Ukraine because Putin saw weakness in President Biden, while 41 percent said that it was not a factor in Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine.

Americans are rather ignorant about this. Putin’s move on Ukraine wasn’t really about Ukraine, it was about trying to stop any expansion of NATO. NATO is Putin’s real target here because it is the biggest threat to Putin in the west. Putin didn’t need to worry about NATO while Trump was in power because his lapdog (Trump) was working to destabilize NATO internally). Now that Trump is out of power and NATO was strengthening again under Biden, Putin feels threatened.

Nice try. But, no.
This is all about Putin's desire to reconstitute the Soviet Union. He has stated this numerous times. Believe him.

+1. And Trump’s destabilizing NATO and lapdog-ishness has emboldened Putin - who is a mad man. This is a man consumed by power and paranoia and old grievances (talking about Putin, not Trump, but they have that in common, I suppose)

Also, they're somehow winning against the odds. The Russian conscripts dont want to fight and the babushkas back home are getting mad. It's been on absolute disaster for Russia so far.

He's said repeatedly that NATO is his issue not reconstituting the USSR. That's why he's also threatened Romania, Bulgaria, Finland and Sweden. It's frankly odd that you are claiming otherwise.

His invasion of Ukraine is the very reason WHY NATO should be expanded - because Putin's Russia can not be trusted and is a direct and imminent threat to neighbor nations. Putin's actions this week have proven that beyond any shadow of doubt. Any other argument is just disingenuous spin and deflection.

There was an 80 year old Ukrainian featured on the news this morning. He was lining up to get a weapon at a government site. Said he was fighting so his grandchildren could grow up in a free Ukraine.

Rebekah Koffler, author of “Putin’s Playlist” and former US intelligence officer, says Putin made clear he wants to rebuild a Russian superpower a la Soviet Union AND prevent border states from joining NATO.

She said Putin has been very clear what his intentions were.

She said the Baltic states are fine at the moment.

Putin has become a pariah. This is great news. Perhaps one of his own people will decide to do to him what he does does his adversaries. If they can get close enough to him. News reports are that he will not let anyone come near him lately.

Yep. And, the fact that Zelenskyy has remained and continues to encourage citizens to fight back gives the people of Ukraine the desire to do so.
He is truly a leader.

LOL, you didn't see his speech declaring war on Ukraine, did you? He told you exactly why he was invading Ukraine-he does not consider it a country.
