Huh? But I am assuming you do, so what is the issue here in counting it as a separate country?

Taiwan…?

Because there is too many ads

Sure, but if no reputable sources are available for a specific matter yet (which is especially common when it comes to war bullet-ins from the government of one of the two fronts) then what? Moreover, what would “falling back” consist of? Positing a comment? The user that posted the thing was not banned, and they were clearly instructed to re-post from a more reliable source.

Thanks. It must not be easy to impartially moderate content regarding a war and keeping it factual, when most of the userbase lives in countries directly or indirectly on one side of the conflict.

This ^ is the same person which, after I dared to answer to their buzz-sentences about the war (“Russia is the evil, doing genocide, they don’t want to negotiate” etc) with some arguments and a few facts that they didn’t like (but they didn’t respond to), proceeded to throw in a few more bullet points with zero-claims out of their feelings, and informed me that they blocked me. Lmao. Karen/Simon who believe what they are told on facebook must always bee the right side of history.

Don’t mind responding, I have blocked you.

Childish behavior. But I understand, it is hard to argue any further on something you have been told being your absolute truth, especially with someone who isn’t a mere “putin-shill” making idiotic claims. But I don’t care, I will still answer for those who read the thread, and possibly you when you matured from this behavior.

Please read this article (from Foreign Affairs, not Sputnik), especially the part where it goes:

Already on March 30, Johnson seemed disinclined toward diplomacy, stating that instead “we should continue to intensify sanctions with a rolling program until every single one of [Putin’s] troops is out of Ukraine.” On April 9, Johnson turned up in Kyiv —the first foreign leader to visit after the Russian withdrawal from the capital. He reportedly told Zelensky that he thought that “any deal with Putin was going to be pretty sordid.” Any deal, he recalled saying, “would be some victory for him: if you give him anything, he’ll just keep it, bank it, and then prepare for his next assault.” In the 2023 interview, Arakhamia ruffled some feathers by seeming to hold Johnson responsible for the outcome. “When we returned from Istanbul,” he said, “Boris Johnson came to Kyiv and said that we won’t sign anything at all with [the Russians]—and let’s just keep fighting.” Since then, Putin has repeatedly used Arakhamia’s remarks to blame the West for the collapse of the talks and demonstrate Ukraine’s subordination to its supporters. Notwithstanding Putin’s manipulative spin, Arakhamia was pointing to a real problem: the communiqué described a multilateral framework that would require Western willingness to engage diplomatically with Russia and consider a genuine security guarantee for Ukraine. Neither was a priority for the United States and its allies at the time.

This basically answers to all your non-points backed by buzz-sentences that the mainstream western press printed in your brain. We had a choice, we chose to fight over peace (no, i stand corrected, our leaders did. The vast majority of people, maybe removing the UK and the baltics, would have and still would pick peace over a war at the expense of our economies and Ukranian people).

Ukraine wanted to cooperate more with the west

Ukraine had democratically elected a filo-russian president (the majority of ukranians voted for him), who had no interest in joining the EU. We helped overthrow that government because we did not like it. Also what “cooperation” are you talking about? Bringing our nuclear missiles under an anti-russian alliance is not really matter of economic cooperation.

Russia is attempting an outright genocide on Ukraine

I am glad to know genocide is a word that can be used so loosely when it comes to throwing it at what you perceive is your enemy. Putin did the same when addressing the repression of the donbas indipendence movements in eastern ukraine. You and him go hand in hand when it comes to using words properly.

favors Russia

“favors Russia” in what the actual fu**ing sense? Are the sorts of the war going to change based on my opinion on it? As I said before, you (not me) are indeed treating a war as a football game, and you get offended by whatever criticism towards “your team”, no matter what. Your fanaticism obfuscates your view of the factual reality.

We are many here who actually care about the well being of the Ukrainians

I can’t tell if you are saying this with a grin on your face, knowing that what you are saying is false, or if you are naive enough to believe that. I am sure you live in that part of the world that is using Ukrainians as war-meat, sending them more and more weapons while killing off any peace talk initiative. You cheer comfortably from far away their desperate attempt to regain international attention through a suicide invasion of a tiny strip of land (which won’t provide them any additional negotial power), at the expense of their blood. “We” as third party countries at the start of the conflict had immense power over negotiations since we basically dictated Ukraine what to do (which is not surprising considering we put a TV actor/comedian as their president, after broadly supporting the overthrowing of their democratically elected government), and WE chose to NOT negotiate no matter what. It’s unarguable that Russia has the ultimate fault on the war and in the end they should be held accountable for it, but this

care about the well being of the Ukrainians

is uttermost garbage. You made Ukraine support your personality and now can only mentally accept a total victory over Russia (which is in no way possible), and you are totally willing to sacrifice as many Ukrainians as it takes for this little inner victory of yours. This is sick.

the Ukrainians, who did everything they could to appease Putin

I’m not even going to go over this. You correctly stated that in a generic way, as you couldn’t even tell what you meant with this sentence. So while I wait for you to make some light on this amazing no-point you think you made I will just tell you that I am sure the way russian-speaking minorities in the eastern part of the country were being treated appeased the russians very good.

Ukrainian press is as free as russian press, that’s why the equivalence holds.

I didn’t take any pro-Russia stance, but I doubt “supporting” Ukraine is just accepting everything it comes from their outlets.

We are not recruiting soldiers here on lemmy, and the ukranians in the front line do not hear nor care about your thoughts on their propaganda, so we have the possibility to be honest about both parties’ biases, even coming from who we are “allied” with.

Our side of the internet is full of people treating this war like ultras in a football game.

Would you trust the news coming from a russian outlet about ukranian forces?

Japan said its warplanes used flares

It’s good etiquette to actually read something before commenting on it, no?

Acoustic has a red light in the front?

Maybe MEGA? Really depends on your use-case

I agree, China has been fueling conflicts in modern times like no other country in the world. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Cuba, Ukraine, N&S Korea… (The list is too long to even be written down). Chinese secret services have always been mendeling around for the interest of big chinese corporations and weapon sales. Let’s remember how they also tried to invade their geographical neighbour Taiwan in '61 in whats today remembered as “The bay of pigs invasion” (look it up on wikipedia), just because they were politically aligned with us (and they should be free to do so!); simply inacceptable and outlaw by our international laws.

Not to mention how with its powerful army the CPC imposes its control over the world’s trade, even on the other side of the world, where they clearly have no business in controlling it.

Not to mention africa, where after hundres of years of stealing african resources, the Chinese are now upset that we are actually building their infrastructure and instead complain that those countries will have to repay the debt to us (duh, we arent doing it for free!). It’s so ironic that after thousand years of chinese colonization it must be us treating african countries like actual political partners rather than broke savages to just send aids and charity etc.

God, this is obviously possible due to the fact that in China, there is no democracy, but a one-party system that always stays in power. I don’t understand why they are not smart enough to at least pretend there is two parties (that would actually be the same, obviously) to give the people and the international press the impression of a functioning democracy (like here in the west, where we can choose between tens of parties that don’t radicalize on idiotic minor non-issues to pretend to be different but actually all doing the same interests).

And nordic country has the military capability to invade sweden successfully with the shitshow of military we got.

Ah yes, Norway and Finland, you better keep an eye on them, you never know when they might decide to invade another country…

What the fuck did the Donbas had to do with anything

It seems you missed that the war fearmongering the article is trying to spread is being justified by the russian invasion of ukraine (for some reason…?)

Lmfao what does Russia even has to do with Sweden?

we are so fucked

Yes, if Sweden were to be populated only by people that associate the Russia-Ukraine situation with “we are gonna get invaded by russia because the donbass did”, I would say you are fucked, because it’s quite hard to run a proper democracy with a population lacking basic history and geopolitical knowledge.

And private gun ownership

Ah yes, private gun ownership, the true horseman of a country’s defense when getting invaded by another. Lol.

Thank you Social Democrates…

You have the luck to live in one of the countries with one of the most solid/corruption-free democracies and level of education in the world (even though it doesn’t appear to be true for all sweds) and you have the audacity to come here and complain that you cant carry a gun around and accusing your fellow sweds of voting for the same politics that allowed your country to reach such progress… As an italian, I would kill to have my country’s politics elevated to that level, from the corruption shit-show that they have basically been for all history.

Seriousy, educate yourself, especially on what war in Ukraine. Thanks. Do it for your country and for its democracy.
