I'm unequivocally against this. Firstly, the ones without Ukraine flag emojis in their Twitter bio don't deserve such a cruel fate. Secondly, the war will be over quicker if the Kiev regime has less bodies to throw into the meat grinder.

Edit: Similar things have been proposed in Europe too by the way, and here too it is both morally and pragmatically correct to oppose this idea.

Even if it means we have to continue to see their stupid flag-waving and keep hearing the same idiotic cliché phrases on repeat from all the annoying Ukrainian keyboard warriors who are cheerleading the war from the safety of western countries.

    Even Poland and Baltics refused, afaik multiple times. Now, i don't doubt they would want to throw as much Ukrainians into the grinder to prolong that war, but, especially in case of Poland, that would put internal situation back to 2013 levels when economy was lacking manpower and bourgeoisie started to make concessions to the workers. Fortunately for them 2014 coup happened and the shock therapy and minority oppression by maidan govt caused huge wave of Ukrainian migrants being enthusiastically absorbed by Poland for social dumping.

    I have about the same position on this. A lot (though not all) of these people are insufferable, though we don't have nearly as many in my country as the US does. Being annoying on the internet is, thankfully, not something people get deported for however.

    Nor does it mean I wish them death, which is likely what would happen if they were sent back. Their death and a prolonging of a war that is just going to kill even more.
