    If you see no differences between the Ukrainian government, flawed as it has been, and the Russian government under Putin… you may need to look a little deeper.

        Ukrainians disagree. And they are the ones that matter. If you want to live in slavery or without political rights, it is your choice, of course.

          Well yeah, it’s up to them, but I don’t think they’re monolithic. They’ll eventually negotiate once they run out of men or weapons. I don’t think they’d be slaves if Russia captured Kyiv either. Perhaps without political rights, but that wasn’t much different than before.

            I think that’s exactly the point - they know how it was before, and they know how it can be by looking in neighboring EU.

        Yet somehow almost every nation that’s neighboring Russia is ready to fight Russia just for the privilege of not being in Russia. We cannot all be just delusional.
