“Things wouldn’t be so bad if they just stopped resisting. Why don’t they? They don’t want to fight, statistically.”
I’m amazed at how often the “rapist argument” pops up on Lemmy, in respect to Ukraine.
Yeah, maybe their civilian population is sick of war, and they don’t want to be drafted. And maybe Ukraine should make their own decisions/have their sovereignty respected. But, you know, disrespecting their sovereignty is the whole reason this is happening.
So even if you are unquestionably right, what the heck does it matter? Russia doesn’t care what Ukraine thinks, nor anything about their sovereignty and decision making power, otherwise they wouldn’t have launched a massive military invasion Ukraine clearly did not consent to.
