Every time #StandWithUkraine registers with a search indexer, it shows a trend of support for a country that was invaded by an aggressor.
If you dislike it, I encourage you to step outside, face into the wind, and then pee up a rope.
Since my detractors seem to have forgotten what happened during the 20th Century, never bothered to study it, or simply don't have the mental capacity to understand the situation, they have no basis for understanding my vehement support.
The subject is very complex, but the Soviet motivation centers on one thing: Protect the Motherland at All Costs.
Putin is 100% Soviet Union. If you doubt that, please, add me to your block/ignore list and never speak to me again. There isn't enough time left until the heat death of the universe or words simple enough to explain what's happening in terms you'll understand.
His Short Man Syndrome and the Russian cultural paranoia have created another Stalin.
Putin is doing his best to revive the soviet union using their traditional Russian Bogey Man: The Germans. This time, in the guise of neo-nazis. Do you find it odd that there is a neo-nazi brigade fighting along side the Soviet invaders?
So, Nazis in Crimea, Nazis in the Ukraine. What about the Soviet's Nazis? It's all a sham. The Soviets will not stop unless they have their faces kicked in. N.B., Soviet post-WWII history.
If the Soviet was so hot, why aren't their former client states providing, if nothing else, verbal support? Do you see Poland or Romania or Bulgaria offering support to the Soviets? Nope. Only Belarus's president supports them: Primarily because he's afraid of what 30,000 Soviets troops stationed in his country could do.
The Soviet's only supporters are the world's bad actors receiving Soviet support.
It's time to get off the fence, sunshine. You got a pair?
This is probably a troll post, but I usually take the bait because I like to assume all people are are coming from a point of authenticity and sincerity. Getting it wrong and getting trolled is a better outcome than falsely attacking somebody.
You're right that Putin is bad and that nobody internationally supports him. Hell, even nominal "allies" like China are sitting this one out. That says a lot. How quickly all the former Soviet Eastern European nations quickly fled from the Russian sphere of influence also says plenty.
I think what most people don't like about your posts are that cringy "thoughts and prayers" and /s/copypasta tier posts that don't really help. I've seen tons of Ukranian flags appear within 2 weeks of the invasion and I'm just thinking, hmm, these people 1 month ago couldn't place Ukraine on the map, name a city in Ukraine, or tell you anything about the history of the region are now "experts" in Eastern European history, military theory, and Kremlinology. And they want us to start WW III by starting shooting down Russian planes. It's just very insincere and reeks of being a follower of whatever the talking heads on the TV are saying. Not to mention I'm sure all those flags are made in China, so by "showing support" you're literally enriching our enemies. The real thing people can do to help would be to reduce consumption, energy usage, and stop buying crap made in China so that we don't enable these kind of tyrannical regimes. And just get your life together and help build a strong community. These are all great things to do regardless, but unlike virtue signaling they take real work. Also unlike virtue signaling, they have real, tangible benefits too, however.
You'll be pleased to know that the CIA et al will be supplying the Ukrainian resistance with weapons, material, and intelligence about conducting asymmetrical warfare that will make this a fiasco for Russia. They're pretty good at doing these kinds of things, and they have a solid history of running these kinds of operations whether they are popular domestically or not, so they don't need to see Ukrainian flags or hashtags in our profiles or anything like that. They don't care if you or most other countrymen support this. They'll do it regardless and have been on both sides of insurgencies for a solid 100 years of experience. We should know, we've been on the receiving end of insurgencies for the last 20 years, so we have lots of knowledge about what works and what doesn't. History shows time and time again that a foreign power and empire gets wrecked and ruined when it tries to occupy a people who don't want it there. This will come at great cost and loss of life for both sides and take much time, however.
Truly this was a devastating miscalculation by Putin that will lead to disaster for both Ukraine and Russia, but in even 10 years Russia will be completely demoralized and relegated to complete economic ruin. The writing was nearly on the wall for that anyway with their resource-extraction economy and declining demographics, but this blunder really accelerated things. Their military has been exposed as completely corrupt and incompetent, and still after a supposed decade of pouring massive amounts of money for modernisation, they're mostly running broken Soviet-era hardware. They'll be an international pariah like a bigger Iran or North Korea. Maybe China will bail them out or put them on a leash, but what an embarrassment that would be. Some good "standing up to the West" only to be a vassal to China. If I were Russian, I'd be absolutely furious at the harm he is doing to the Russian people and at the same time hearing him speaking of how much love he has for the Russian people, but this is really straight out of the despot 101 playbook of how they behave. Dark years ahead for both Ukraine and Russia, unfortunately.
