      The counter offensive isn’t into Russia, it’s them trying to get back their territory which was occupied last February. Where a lot of Ukrainians currently have family members, and where we know for a fact torture of dissenters and kidnapping of children is taking place.

      IIRC almost all polls show strong support from Ukrainians to take all their land back.

        It’s also to get back their territory which was occupied in 2014. I think XymerianMonk is subtly implying that that territory is “Russian” now, which is pretty disgusting if so. Russia doesn’t get to seize and annex territory from its neighbours and then cry about being “invaded” when those neighbours try to take it back.

              Do you realise whataboutism is not an argument. Because when you use it as one you are basically falling under the same trap. You are telling me what about santa ana, care for ukraine. Who cares about non white people, though, right?

      How can such an ignorant comment even be upvoted?

      They’re pushing into Ukraine still, this is a push to take back their land from Russia not a fucking march to Moscow.
