Russia has always been a scourge on humanity and always will be, until the West can find the resolve to destroy it.

Reddit moment.

Careful there, that’ll put a strain on your faculties.

…always? It was “comparable to living as a British colonial subject” prior to decolonization. It’s certainly worse now but always is a weird one.

Where have I heard that before, mein Führer?

Interesting parallel:

Russians loved the nazis, and agreed to split Europe with them too!
But then again, they'd been genociding jews, Ukrainians and everyone else for centuries by then, I suppose they saw kindred spirits.

Both the USSR and Nazi Germany invaded Poland in 1939.

Personally I'm in favor of a combined European offensive on Moscow.

After so much russophobic propaganda I get where this is coming from, but are you willing to go die out of sheer hatred of russia?
I'm just scared that people like you will drag us in an outright war, and I don't wanna go die in our overlords' bid for more resources.-
First of all, Russia has already fired the first shot. They've been attacking not just Europe but the rest of the world for years in an information war. The situation in the US can undoubtedly be tracked back to them. To attack Russia wouldn't be a war of aggression, it would be a retaliatory strike.
Secondly, there is no way that Russia has all the military might they've claimed to have. On a military level they are a paper tiger. Just look at the OP, they're trying to enlist Ukrainian soldiers to fight for them. I remember reading a little time ago about how they were even considering training and fielding children to the front. It wouldn't be an outright war, it would be a brief struggle. A local pro-Russia militia would probably pose a greater threat than the Russian army.

Well, here is the thing, I was in the military in Europe decades ago, conscript. Considering what we are seeing as far as effectiveness, training, etc of russian forces, I'd give my generation a 10 to 1advantage, at least, in kills. Multiply by all of Europe combined. Also, current troops in most of Europe are professional, so a 20:1 ratio is not far fetched. I like those odds.
EDIT: Also, let's not forget that western hardware is whooping russian ass
-
Russians themselves were willing (or were ordered instead of asked) to go die in WW2 against Nazi Germany. Was this a "sheer hatred of germans" that was due to "germanphobic propaganda"? Perhaps a bit, but there cleary was a worthy cause behind it all.
If it meant an end to the fascist regime of Russia, it'd be worth it. We all die anyway at some point, why not die for a good cause then.
-
Yeah it definitely won't be the Russian invaders who drag us all into a war.
Fuck all the way off with this "stop struggling or this rape will turn into a murder" shit.
-
I am an American, sort of trapped right now within my country’s own borders because of the fascist scumbag I did my best to fight against. I am DEFINITELY willing to kill Russians because of what their country did to mine. Yes, dying comes with the job of being a soldier but as general Patton said, no one won a war dying for their country, instead make the other assholes die for theirs.

Scrolling past, I thought that was a hippo in a blue hood. Now I feel bad for laughing.
-
Same, came to the comments to see if others had done the same.
-
I only saw hippo until I saw your comment and scrolled back up.

Except it's documented that Russia executes POWs.
-
They have more than 1

Invade Russia, gather everyone in support of Putin and the Russian war in Ukraine. Nuke them all.
-
I just want russia to fuck back to its backward shithole, live in their own filth and violence and never come back. We won't touch russia's borders, we don't want reparations, just fuck back off to russia and nobody will bother you ever again. That's it. No nukes, no negotiations, no blackmail: never show up again and we won't either. If you don't want russians to see Ukrainians have a go at democracy, turn off your internet and turn russia into North Korea, Kim can give you some pointers on how to do that.

Who the fuck rated euronews "Left-Center" and "High" [credibility]? They're obscure as fuck. Mostly a tracker/data broker with an AI generated "news" frontend spilling clickbait AI slop never quoting any reliable sources.
-
I don't think that they're obscure. If you asked me to name a major, non-state-run English-language mainland European news source, it'd be in the top three to come to my mind: Euronews, Euractiv, and EU Observer (with the last focusing on stuff in Brussels; maybe a better source for the !EuropeanFederalists@lemmy.world community).
They featured prominently on /r/Europe back when I followed it.
-
"Obscure" means nebulous, not clearly visible, of unclear origin. So, if you're arguing their obscurity, who exactly are euronews? What are their sources, who are their correspondents, who's financing them, what is their business address or business model? I've wondered about that quite for a while but there's nothing to find except their data brokering service which seems good evidence that they are not what they claim to be: a news organization. So what exactly are they if not obscure?
