no worries

You could say the same about schools in Europe too. I lived in Prague for a bit as a kid, and school was way more intense than in Canada or US. Not sure what this emotional abuse your refer to is though. The reality is that the school system in US and Canada is laughably bad compared to most other developed countries.

I mean that once the idea is demonstrated, it’s not actually that complicated. But seems like nobody tried doing it until now. A lot of innovation seems very obvious in retrospect once somebody does it.

Also has an excellent education system that’s accessible to everyone.

it’s definitely one of those obvious in retrospect things

Ukraine was already in a civil war past 2014, and most people in eastern Ukraine are ethnically Russian or have family ties to Russia. They do not see this as an invasion. A few slides from this lecture that Mearsheimer gave back in 2015 clearly show the dynamics in Ukraine. First, here’s the demographic breakdown of Ukraine:

here’s how the election in 2004 went:

this is the 2010 election:

https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/1471241b-e5ee-4eec-8465-10708deb1726.png

As we can clearly see from the voting patterns in both elections, the country is divided exactly across the current line of conflict. Furthermore, a survey conducted in 2015 further shows that there is a sharp division between people of eastern and western Ukraine on which economic bloc they would rather belong to:

So, the most likely scenario is that people from western Ukraine would’ve fled to Europe, while many in central and eastern Ukraine would’ve gone to Russia.

Nobody’s stopping him.

I am against wars, and NATO provoked this war by pushing past Russia’s red lines. Russia responded the exact same way NATO would’ve responded if Russia was the one pushing into NATO. So, if you’re against senseless wars then you should be against NATO expansion.

Your comment is a perfect example of what US propaganda does to people.

yogthos , 4 months ago to worldnews in In this Ukrainian village, almost no men are left

Do you really not understand that provoking wars simply results in mass death and suffering? Or perhaps you enjoy other people dying and suffering, I’m begging to think the latter is actually the case here.

yogthos , 4 months ago to worldnews in In this Ukrainian village, almost no men are left

I was more thinking if you thought that Russia (or in other cases US) would be in the wrong in invading other countries in such situations and being against such wars.

You’re just doing moralizing here which serve no practical purpose.

yogthos , 4 months ago to worldnews in In this Ukrainian village, almost no men are left

Not really the gotcha you seem to think it is. The fact that lots of Ukrainians were happy living in Russia even before the war illustrates that Ukrainians weren’t exactly anti-Russian.

yogthos , 4 months ago to worldnews in In this Ukrainian village, almost no men are left

And do you feel like that is proper justification for invading and attacking countries, killing people?

I’ve already explained that feels have nothing to do with anything. I do however think it’s idiotic to provoke wars based on feels when the outcomes are obvious.

Talk about moving the goalposts, eh. But anyway we can probably agree that “most Ukrainians aren’t even in Ukraine anymore” isn’t true then?

Sure, I misspoke there.

yogthos , 4 months ago to worldnews in In this Ukrainian village, almost no men are left

And how do you feel about that, do you think it is proper justification?

I think that’s how the world works, and feels have nothing to do with it. The reality is that no great power will allow another great power to surround it with its proxies. So, either you think that there should be constant war between great powers, or you accept boundaries.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this?

See above.

So yes, please help me. It’s kinda what I’ve been asking since the start but you’ve been pretty standoffish about it.

Let me rephrase that, most fighting age males have fled Ukraine at this point

• aljazeera.com/…/more-than-14-million-people-fled-…

Those who remain are not interested in fighting either as even western media admits now nytimes.com/…/ukraine-military-recruitment.html

Governments aligning themselves differently to how you’d like is no justification for invading them and killing their people.

Interesting way to describe the west overthrowing a democratically elected government in a violent coup.

Would you be fine with the reverse, USA or Germany or someone invading if those countries had been joining CSTO for example?

This isn’t a hypothetical, we already know what the west does.

And tell me, are you fine with the US behaviour there? And I didn’t say they’d be fine with it, I said I wouldn’t be fine with them doing it.

Not being an utter imbecile, I understand that this would be the only possible outcome. Provoking such an outcome is either idiotic or intentionally malicious.

Your source doesn’t prove that “most Ukrainians aren’t even in Ukraine anymore”.

Go look up the population of Ukraine before and after the war. If you really can’t figure out how google works then come back and I’ll help you.
