Listen. Let's say Ukraine became a part of NATO right before this. They would have European and partially American protection, and it'd be much easier going against Russia. But they didn't π and now, they won't. Why? Because the rest of Europe and the US aren't willing to become part of the war. At least, they don't w a n t to, but they probably will at some point. America's gas prices are already going up because of the sudden cut on oil. Plus, Ukraine was already the poorest country in Europe- dealing with high amounts of poverty, and a severely corrupted government. Those are f**king facts. With this knowledge, if you compare it to f**king Russia, who is literally the largest country in the world, has a lot of nuclear weapons, and it's economy is doing pretty well... It was over before it started, man. Ukraine is going to lose and you sobbing over some kid will not change the outcome. Let me add, this shit happens all the time. You heard about 3rd world countries? Extreme poverty? Corrupted governments, like I said Ukraine has? Immigrants? Huh? Those factors make these sort of this all the time every f**king day. And I'm sure even before this started, since Ukraine has multiple of these factors, kids and parents were going through terrible things too. Another point, things might not go as well for Russia. Yeah, they're 99.9% sure expected to win but think about the long term. After this, Europeans and (possibly) Americans will not step foot in their country. They might not let them in their country. And it might take years for Europe and (possibly) Americans to warm up to Russia again. Maybe Russia doesn't want to be involved with them either, maybe. For now. For f**king now. For example, when Islam made 9/11 happen. America was like "oh nah get these motherf**kers out of here", so literally right after the 9/11 incident, America went and bombed Afghanistan. Because America felt threatened. I'm sure it feels threatened right now too, same for Europe. My point is, after Ukraine gets destroyed, it'll come and bite Russia in the ass. Let me also just remind you, there are hundreds of Russian folk who I can say do not want this. There are always the people who disagree with war. So make sure, if you're an anti-Russian or sumthin, hate on the government, not the people. Last thing... Having sympathy, empathy, is good. But it's useless. What the hell is this post gonna do. Don't say "oH iTs mAkiNg mOrE pEoPLe AwAre" because it's not. Thank for your time.
