[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s all pretend we care about Ukraine, and send all our money into Ukraine in the form of advanced weapons.   Then when the Ukrainians run away from the battle, Russia can have the weapons[/quote]

We should stand by and do nothing as Russia invades a European nation for peace in our times. [/quote]
That sounds like a wonderful and caring slogan but reality is not so black and white. The civilians who actually live in LPR and DPR repeatedly stated that they were pretty much abandoned by Kyiv: for example, retirees could no longer get their retirement money, no social support, etc. You will not see many people who actually live there protesting the current outcome. It is really a more complex situation and not a clearly black and white picture you get from the headlines.[/quote]

These people have been forced out of the disputed territories by Russia under the pretext of needing to evacuate, and will be abandoned inside Russia without the means to travel back home, since most of them are poor and Russia promised they would receive a pittance to return, but the people say that even if it honors that promise, it's not enough to pay for the return trip.

Don't delude yourself into thinking that Ukraine abandoned its people first. Russian-backed separatists declared independence there, because Russia has worked for years to destabilize the area, promise riches to those who work towards independence or reunification with the motherland, and generally trigger escalation. There was no way Ukraine could waste valuable resources supporting what was de facto a Russian enclave.

So what you've said is a) Ukraine has supported them, and b) Ukraine has not supported them bc they don't deserve support. [/quote]
