You need to see a source for ukraine having the right to defend themselves? Tough luck.
The global south have the right to defend themselves from cracker expansionism. Yes, even "Russian orcs."
Ukraine doesn't have the right to defend itself, not when it started the conflict. And it was given multiple opportunities to end it after the fact. But you still think the world began in 2022
Why aren't you dropping everything and going to fight for your precious ethno-state?
Come on. Go do it. It's a great place for Western mercenaries.
Go fight for Ukraine. Sloppa Poopani.
Ukraine has the right to defense itself, unfortunately fighting a proxy war between Russia and NATO while being the meat grinder providing soldiers is not defending yourself, Ukraine would be far better off making peace in the first year of the war itself, the longer the war continues the more gains Russia makes, Ukraine gets weaker and loses negotiation leverage for the inevitable peace treaty and the US gets more leverage to demand "rare earth minerals", yes significant concessions will have to be made but I don't Ukraine is gonna march on a country 5x its size anytime soon.
After the reactionary take-over spearheaded by Nazis and Banderites who worship WW2 collaborators, the burning of communists/trade-unionists in Odessa and the genocide waged against Russian speakers in the East I personally could care less that Russia does whatever is necessary to stomp the threat of a potential NATO staging ground and Nazi state in Europe.
Agreed, though. Ukraine would have been better off. We know that the United States sabotaged those talks in Istanbul though.
