“Some of you may be willing to die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make” but unironically

This is in no way equivalent hahaha. What kinda swill do they hand out in the IRA breakrooms these days?
Russia is invading the heartland of another distinct ethnicity and purging it. Ukraine is not doing that. It is simply clamping down on political liberties to ensure a stable war economy and political situation. This happens in every country that is forced to fight for it’s own existence.
Perhaps the Ukrainians should concentrate the population that shows Russian sympathy into small camps
You know, to keep a better eye on them and to ensure the security of the Ukrainian identity against the perfidy of the Russian abhumans
the heartland of another distinct ethnicity
Kievan Rus exists
Russian and Ukranian are almost the same language, as different as modern English is from Shakespearian English
Why do white people try to create ethnic differences where none exist? Russians and Ukranians are visually / genetically / culturally pretty much identical. It’s like saying North Korea invaded South Korea to purge it of Koreans!
Kidnapping Ukranian children and forcibly adopting them into Russian families is genocide. It is an explicit attempt to erase Ukranian culture.
I’m sorry, what does that have to do with “purging” as it relates to genocide? Surely you understand that relocating orphans - not “purging” them - and then repatriating them when their Ukrainian family can be found does not constitute genocide, right? This is basic, “what do words mean” level shit, so if you’re having trouble here then you might need to take a few steps back on making declarative statements about geopolitics.
Rescuing children from a warzone is genocide? Are you serious, you do realize the majority of those children are native Russian speakers and are reunited with their families when they’re located, like you do know those basic facts right, and aren’t just talking out your ass?
